In no particular order my guess is Fax; Fev;Bfd;Leigh.
Then middle 8's Wakey;Widnes;Salford;Hull FC.
4th v 5th heart says Fax v Salford
4th v 5th head says Leigh v Salford.

Dave I don't think you will be far out there. My predictions are 1st.Leigh,2nd.Bradford.3rd.Sheff.4th Fax.The middle 8s will be Wakey,Salford,Widnes,and HKR.
4th v 5th million pound game Wakey v Salford.Will Leigh get into SL?Can a Duck swim?Charlie knows.

Good Day Mr Caroli,I see you are predicting an improvement for Fax from last season well here is my forecast.

1st Bradford.
2nd Fax.
3rd Fev.
4th Leigh.In SL the bottom 4 Wakefield,Widnes, Salford,and Castleford,the play off game will be Fax V Widnes,Leigh will bottle it again King Degsy will abdicate having it away on his toes,and Prince Tripster will be locked away in the LSV never to be seen again.

i also think a championship side will make SL. with 4 v 5 between sl sides.
after first season of the system teams will have learnt.

Ian old chum, without a doubt Leigh will be 1st, but?, you say can ducks swim? There is an old saying "a duck is calm on the top and paddling like bug::ry underneath"
Last season Leigh were calm, nearly unbeaten, a great cup run, calm on top and then, couldn't even paddle!
Why do you think this season will be different for Leigh?
I think with respect Leigh will finish higher than Fax in the regular season, but? I don't think when it comes to a crunch Rowley or his team have the bottle.
Remember after last season you had over 26 pages on Rowleys future, not many wants him to stay.
Just my thoughts Ian old chum. No disrespect intended.

Leigh
Bradford
Sheffield
Halifax

Leigh
Fax
Bradford

Can't see fax haveing the poor start we had last year. Fitness will be higher than last year. Settled team and know what Marshal wants and have adapted to is stye of play. Also am.going to say 2 teams up

I'll revisit this thread once everyones squads are complete. Lot of time between now and Game 1

I don't think you have to be a Genius to work out who will contest the top 4 teams next season, but maybe the way they will be formed as I think it is not as cut and dried as the Turf Accountants think it will be .

Whilst we hopefully won't start like we did last year, neither are we likely to finish like we did either. Would rather be bedded into top 4 early on though so we don't have to win our last nine games

Agree - was exciting but not sure my heart could stand it again

1 Leigh
2 Bradford
3 Sheffield
4 Halifax

London and Featherstone will be our main rivals for 4th place

Leigh, Bradford, then Fax. I think these 3 will be comfortably in the top 3. Im not sure Sheffield will go as well next year as their squad is not really that impressive so far and I think it will be a transitional year for them. Mark Aston is a very good coach though. I think Fev, and Dewsbury will be weaker than last year while I also think London may be a little bit stronger. Sheffield may get 4th because the other teams are still not quite good enough for the top 4.

We will start better next season and if our defence can be as good as last season, and no real doubts that it cant be, and we can improve our attack as we did at the back end of the year, then we are going to be a very tough team to beat and think we can challenge for 2nd. Much more competition for places this year and our squad on the whole looks a lot stronger than last season which Im sure will push the players on even further than last season

I prefer Fax , Bradford , then Leigh.
