i have just had a look back through what we all thought would be the final regular seasons finishing positions and this one stood out

Anyone who didn't predict as a bare minimum 7 out of the 8 qualifiers for the play-off's needs to have a word with themselves.

Predicting 8 out of 8 would be nothing more than a par performance IMO.

Par for me then.

as regular super league season has come to it's conclusion i thought i would bring this topic back out so that everyone could see how well their predictions went.

the giants were obviously the big over achievers in most posters predictions

i'm not sure if tvoc will again undertake the official scoring to see who the eventual winner is



1: Huddersfield Giants

2: Warrington Wolves

3: Leeds Rhinos

4: Wigan Warriors

5: St. Helens

6: Hull FC

7: Catalan Dragons

8: Hull Kingston Rovers

9: Bradford Bulls

10: Widnes Vikings

11: Wakefield Wildcats

12: Castleford Tigers

13: London Broncos

14:Salford City Reds

Think mine comes in at 26.

Got Wire, Leeds, Wigan, Catalans & Salford bang on.

Costliest mistakes
Saints - 1st
Hudds - 8th
Wakey - 6th
Widnes - 13th

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: Fat Boy

Most correct predictions: lionarmour87 with 7

A total of nine posters correctly called the eight teams that would eventually enter the play-offs : William Eve, Him, Fat Boy, lionarmour87, chesterwednesday, tvoc, Mr. Zucchini Head, Old Feller and Ellery Hanley

ant1 successfully retained the award for the single biggest wide of the mark prediction (although pushed all the way this year by Fetlar) this time for his Huddersfield to finish last

The combined Southstander SL Table would have looked like this: (out of a possible 53) and would have scored a 22 on the above table

1 - Warrington (33)
2 - St Helens (20)
3 - Leeds (1icon_cool.gif
4 - Wigan (24)
5 - Hull (31)

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

thanks again tvoc for scoring this competition your efforts really are appreciated

congratulations to fat boy on finishing top of the pile with his predictions,he has also defeated many so called rl experts in the process so take a bow son

you are now classed as a big hitter fat boy and we hope to see you back defending your title next season

Big thanks to both your good self and tvoc for doing such a fine job. Bring on next year.

Thanks tvoc much appreciated, I will now mull over some of my spectacular failed predictions.

Whoop! Go me!

Oh.

I'm of the same "calibre" as Brian Noble, now trying to figure out who i'm more disappointed to be on the same rank as.....Eve or Schofield. Damn trying to throw in that risky curveball of Wakey, knew that one could come back to haunt me.

And Nantwich 3rd, perhaps he was right all along and we should fill the team with 12 year olds.

Pleased with a play off place after just missing out on the weekly predictions
