As 2025 is upon us and the new season will be here in no time, thought for a bit of fun i'd put something on here for predictions next season for players and teams, something along the lines of: [b:20139l0b]Teams to Beat[/b:20139l0b] Wigan and Hull KR for me.. it would be nice if anyone other than Wigan or Saints could win it, but these two look like they will take some beating again. KR have recruited very well again and Rhyse Martin will make them even better. [b:20139l0b]Surprise Team[/b:20139l0b] I think Wakey might surprise a few this season and go better than expected. [b:20139l0b]Most improved player for Leeds[/b:20139l0b] Frawley - i think he will be much better next season. [b:20139l0b]Player most excited to see[/b:20139l0b] Sivo - fingers crossed he settles well and stays fit. Real Xfactor player. [b:20139l0b]Bottom of the pile[/b:20139l0b] Cas - will be tight but i think they could well finish below Wakey - also expect Salford and Hull FC to be down the bottom end. [b:20139l0b]Leeds finishing position[/b:20139l0b] 5th. i think we make the playoffs. Maybe get to the semi finals with a favourable wind and some injury luck. [b:20139l0b]Challenge Cup[/b:20139l0b] Wigan

Team to Beat Wigan. The rest are miles off. Surprise Team Hull - will improve, but just miss out on top 6 Most improved player for Leeds Oledski. Needs a good season and I think he will give us one. Player most excited to see Sivo - great signing. Bottom of the pile Cas Leeds finishing position 6th, possibly 5th. Close between us and Cats. Wigan Wire Saints HKR Cats Leeds Challenge Cup Wigan

[quote="ArthurClues":1xb7eby1]Think we make the play offs and possibly the top 4 with a combination of the Arthur effect and the addition of some good/very good players making the difference. Crucially though, we have to start well. Confidence for this side (and the support base) is really important, and if it's lost early on we could flop again. Elsewhere, it's hard to look past Wigan unless they are very unlucky with injury.[/quote:1xb7eby1] Yep definitely Leeds need to start well. There's too many scars still there from previous years, confidence will soon go and the fans will quickly lose patience if we don't start well.

Wigan will win it all. Huddersfield will be bottom of the pile. Our fans will moan whatever happens.

And if you don't moan about the performances you can join in by moaning about the moaning.

My surprise team is Hull KR Think they might suffer from second season syndrome and just finish in the top 6 I think we will come 3rd or 4th.
