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.

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.

I think Bradford will be wiser and less boosted, Leigh will have learnt a few lessons, Sheffield about the same - weaker squad but full time and Aston knows what he's doing. Remains to be seen with Fev - they need to recruit a few and London will be stronger.

A full pre season with Richard and maybe a bit more recruitment and we will be top four with Leigh, Bradford and Sheffield

I think we have to be pushing For second for sure but third should be the minimum expectation based on recruitment and depth of squad. I can't see sheffield even full time be as strong as previous, Fev have a complete new team with no squad depth. Marshall has some big decisions to make on a few key positions.
