GOING into a fresh new Super League season is always an exciting prospect for fans, pundits and players.
However, some Super League stars will not have it all their own way up until mid-February kick-off with a number of players a doubt for the opening rounds of the new season.
Of course, some injuries are more long-term – like Danny Richardson’s ACL problem – whilst others may still have a chance of making it to round one such as Hull FC’s Kane Evans and Andre Savelio.
