Personally my money's on Auckland City, given their signings.

Waitakere, Auckland City second with Hawkes Bay surprising and finishing top three.
Nix, Leyton Orient and Alloa Athletic supporting schmuck.

Usual suspects: AC, YTak and Team Welly. Ytak to win it

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

I think AC will take it. Hope TW can go one better this season though.

Ah... I apologise profusely to all Waikato fans - a BIG oversight on my part but not intentional.

Hey they only signed a bunch of old guys, maybe their ticker will go out. Nah, it almost a no brainer, but I like to be surprised.

Shouldn't this poll be about who is going to be runners-up?

If we were to go the runner's up route, I'd have to be equally as predictable and go with Waitakere United. I'm not sure if Wellington will add any quality this season but I just can't see them having enough to beat the Auckland sides this time around - I hope I'm wrong though.

Waitakere for me as I don't see any signings that will fix up Auckland's problem areas against Waitakere. Ivan will sort out either the centre back or midfield area but he is a direct replacement for Sigmund. The spanish lad is a right back so until we know who else they have signed I am going with Waitakere.

If you asked for a league winner I would go with City as I think Waitakere will struggle to play in all competitions but in a playoff and Grand Final situation I would go with Waitakere - Colin will bottle it as he always does.

I said realistically but really that is a hopeful prediction for a better than average otago season.
Realistically i could see 6th place max but probably a dog fight for 7th and 8th between us and canterbury

Are Waitak and AkCity signing anyone else from the islands?  There are those 2 from New Caledonia, Pierre Wajoka who hit the cross bar and Michel Hmae who did equalise in the first round of the WCQ.

My brain says Auckland but my heart says Wellington and I do think we have a chance, a couple of the Olywhites are hanging around including Mr Brockie (got a brace against YHM the other day).
