a very happy new year to all southstander.com posters

the 2017 super league season is almost upon us so it's at this time of the year where us know it all posters predict how the new season will pan out before a ball has even been kicked.

as i have repeatedly said each year this is not a serious competition and it is only a bit of light hearted fun
i therefore once again urge all of the southstander.com big hitters and especially those regular posters that have opinions on every subject and will argue their point until the cows come home



my regular season finishing positions are

1: warriors
2: wolves
3: hull fc
4: saints
5: tigers
6: rhinos
7: dragons
8: centurions

9: wildcats
10: red devils
11: giants
12: vikings

the final top 4 play off sides will be
1: wigan
2: wolves
3: hull fc
4: saints

the 4 sides that will rejoin sl in 2018 will be
9: red devils
10: wildcats
11: giants
12: hull kr

gf winner: wolves
cc winner: tigers
