Good Day Mr Caroli,I see you are predicting an improvement for Fax from last season ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif) 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.

Good evening John hope you are well?My tip of Leigh finishing first is because I think both Paul R d the Team will learn from last season's mistakes,I agree we fell at the final couple of hurdles but after looking at our squad for next season and with the apparent addition of Rangi Chase if Tipster Ste is correct then I think we will achieve what is our target SL.
Personally I never wanted PR to leave his Coaching duties,Paul is a lad I have so much respect for both in Rugby and Life itself the guy is a Gentleman ,a credit to his Family,and I think he will finish the Job he has set out to do.
I admire RM as a Coach and think Fax will do well with him in charge,but obviously not against Leigh,I have been reading the Mr Jagger v Tipster Ste online battle nowt wrong with Banter,although Mr Jagger does try to wind folk up I will be defending my Fantasy Rugby title again next year,IF I'm allowed to enter after last season,take care.Ian. ![Thumbs up icon_thumb.gif](images/smilies//icon_thumb.gif)

| 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 ![Smile icon_smile.gif](images/smilies//icon_smile.gif)

| 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
