Just having a look through, obviously Castleford cost just about everyone a chunk of points as did Widnes, but quite a few paid the price of putting Hull around 6th/7th place.

Think Phil Clarke hit the 40 point mark....oh dear

1) All entries must contain 14 unique and/or clearly identifiable teams

2) Scoring System: Correct position scores 0, 1 away from correct position scores 1, 2 away scores 2 etc

The aim is to achieve the lowest score. Tie-Break - In order of most correct positions (which is shown in brackets on the table) - then in date order of entry if still tied.

Any mistakes highlighted will be corrected once checked.

Winner: Sal Paradise A word of encouragement to all - Sal was bottom in this same competition in 2012 (link at the foot of this post), some may have given it up but Sal didn't and now he gets to lord it over the board.

Most correct predictions: Sal Paradise, Grimmy with 7

I don't think I could find any posters who correctly called the eight teams that would eventually enter the play-offs this season.

This years single biggest wide of the mark prediction - costing 9 points - went to the following for placing Castleford 13th - rhinoms, Him, Fat Boy, cymraegrhino, steve slippery morris and junior slippery morris and Phil (Philip) Clarke for believing all the Salford hype.

The combined Southstander SL Table would have looked like this: (out of a possible 61) and would have placed a 24 (5) on the above table

1 - St Helens (19)
2 - Warrington (15)
3 - Wigan (21)
4 - Leeds (13)
5 - Huddersfield (15)
6 - Les Catalans (31)
7 - Hull (16)
8 - Salford (24)
9 - Hull KR (25)
10 - Castleford (19)
11 - Widnes (21)
12 - Wakefield (1icon_cool.gif
13 - Bradford (22)
14 - London (56)

Hope to see you all (and still more besides) again next year when the Jonesy’s a Legend thread appears in the New Year.

(How difficult is it to score an odd number ? Look at the last three years results to find out.)

Oh come on, you have to play it better than that .

Thanks to tvoc also.

Finished above Phil Clarke job done, does this mean i'm relegated though and have to post my prediction for next year on the Dulls board?

Thanks to tvoc.

Exciting times for this comp next year as we figure out how to score the new structure.

I'll add my thanks to TVOC for taking care of the numeric. And congratulations to Sal whose achievement ranks somewhere below Leeds' CC win but above Saints' LLS

Bumped for Fat Boy

Anything can happen 2015 as to where Leeds are going to finish

How is next season going to work? Are we to predict how the 12 will look at the end of the split? Or predict who'll make the 8 and how they finish after the full amount of league games and where the 'demoted' four finish in the mini promotion league?

With the top 8 especially - if the points pre-split are added to post-split you will end up with a 'natural' top 8 based on the season overall. With those in the bottom 4 that go into the league with the 4 championship teams, I guess the arguement the RL are putting forward is those finishing 9th and 10th pre-split will get a more favourable set of home fixtures than those finishing 11th and 12th. www.superleague.co.uk/rlnewera I guess that would mean that (in theory at least) the SL teams in 9th and 10th pre-split are more likely to end towards the top post-split and therefore '9th' and '10th' if you added their finishing positions post-split to the top 8. I guess whichever SL team in the middle 8 (including the 4 championship teams) comes top of their mini-league will technically be 9th overall and the SL team that comes lowest in the mini-league will technically be 12th. As said, the proviso would be that the teams 11th and 12th before the split will be more (theoretically) likely to finish lower when they go into the new mini-league because they will have been worse than those who were 9th and 10th before the split and the subsequent home / away split they are given will be a bit more challenging meaning that (again, theoretically) they will find it more difficult to win as many games as other teams...

I think it should be top 12 if you think the likes of Leigh will end up in the top 12 you should put that in your calc?

How about we predict the top 12 before the split, then the best 2/3rds get to have a go at the top 8.

Cheers - I was away in September and missed it.

Cheers tvoc... again.

I don't know what to predict. If you'd have told me that terrifyingly ordinary Saints team would win the LLS and the GF I'd have thought you were suffering from a heavy concussion.

I predict that Leeds will continue to look disorganised and by May everyone will be very unhappy on Southstander (apart from the trolls who will be winding up the gullible "believeists"icon_wink.gif.
