UK Elite Teams By Season : 2010

SL XV had 14 teams lining up in the elite division. Apart from the tradition northern teams, one came from France, Wales and a London side. The Crusaders moved to North Wales from the south of the country. With no promotion relegation, the same teams as last year were there.

League: Wigan took the title with 44 points ahead of St Helens and Warrington (40 apiece). Leeds were further back with 35.

Challenge Cup: The semi finals had Saints edge Leeds 32-28 and Warrington power past Catalan 54-12. The final had Warrington easily take the cup 30-6 at the expense of Leeds.

Finals: St Helens took the first final spot when defeating Huddersfield 42-22. Wigan became the other finalist when it overcame Leeds 22-6. yet another encounter between these two rivals ended with Wigan proving too strong for the Saints, winning 22-10.

In summary, this was a very even competition among the top sides. I gave both Wigan and St Helens 46 points each. Wigan won the league and grand final but bombed in the cup. Saints on the other hand won nothing but were in everything. Leeds and Warrington also shared the same points, 42 each. Leeds were like Saints, being competitive in all competitions while the Wolves Won the cup but failed in the finals playoffs.
