There's so much rubbish in Super League that it's not inconceivable Bradford could scrape into the Top 8 even with their lightweight, paceless, boring, skillless squad. They'll require a lot of good fortune to do so however. OTOH, they could also finish around 12th. Anywhere between 9th and 12th seems the most likely for them.

Another three years as bottom feeders and all those trophies will be a distant memory. Add to that a ground that will not be fit for purpose and a club with a funding issue. I see a merger with Halifax and a move to the Shay.

Its quite predictable to be totally written off by you Whino's, only time will tell. For the record, i'd say you'll finish 4th/5th.

Possibly much will depend on how the likes of Wigan and Warrington react to last season's disappointment.

Losing Buderus and the signing of 2 plodders (Moore & Griffin) won't help your cause. Although Hardaker & Jones Bishop look like they'll provide plenty of potency out wide.

It's not about writing Bradford off, its about looking at their squad and thinking its not very good. As Mr Swiftcorn says, anywhere from 9th to 12th is about right.

I don't think anyone's [itotally[/i written you off. I haven't. I genuinely believe you could finish outside the bottom two.

I'd be more worried about Saints than either of those two personally.

Recruited well and a host of good young players with an extra year's experience under their belts. IMO they'll be the big improvers in 2012, neither Wigan nor Warrington are going to get any better than they were in 2011.

I'm not concerned about anybody. I hope Leeds find a little more consistency in the qualifying rounds but come playoff time, injuries permitting, I think this set of players understand the formula better than most.

So far there have been 29 entries for 2012 which incidentally equals last season's record-breaking field.

Hopefully some of those that have contributed to the thread without submitting an entry will find the time to do so before the season kicks off - not forgetting those from last season still to enter 2012's comp including the 2011 reigning champion.

Do you have a link to last years effort? Checked through but couldn't find it. But the treads did all start to blur into one.

Sure, the 2011 comp thread can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=477434

I have predicted Saints to finish top - the above is more about where Leeds will finish I have predicted 2nd but they could finish 5th if Wigan, Warrington etc get their act together.

Brown won't be sacked no matter what, he's off at end of season anyway.
