Think I'd go with this assuming strongest teams available majority of year. Group from 6 through to 11 could change a lot though dependent on which teams have luck with injuries and which lose key players.

TBH wouldnt be surprised to see wigan and catalans both move up a place with leeds in 5th. just think wigan have lost a few decent players in lima,deacon and j.tomkins and dont seem to have replaced with same quality and then theres the added factor of a change in coach. Warrington seem the standout team at moment based on players retained plus who they've added but thats just on paper and we all know it goes out the window once the season starts.

I can see Catalans improving on last years form, and also think Huddersfield and Hull will struggle this year. The bottom 4 could finish in any order, can't really see too much between them.

| Basically, there will be groups of teams fighting for certain spots e.g.
1-3 out of: Warrington, Wigan and Saints
4-6 out of: Leeds, Catalans and Huddersfield
7-10 out of: Bradford, Hull FC, Castleford and Hull KR
11-14 out of: Wakefield, Salford, London Broncos and Widnes
If I were to guess:
Warrington
Saints
Wigan
Leeds
Catalans
Huddersfield
Hull
Bradford
Hull KR
Castleford
Salford
Wakefield
Widnes
London Broncos

fair enough, it will be interesting to see how Wigan fare this year. I still think having a fit Sam Tomkins in your team will probably get you in the top 3.

As mentioned, Wigan will be weaker without Joel Tomkins and Ryan Hoffman, and dare I say it, Deacon. The players they have brought in could be good but look a bit risky. They have also lost Maguire, who was the extra factor in their 2010 GF win.
I think Leeds are marginally stronger with Peacock and McGuire fit from the start of the season and some more forwards added, although Buderus will be a big loss. Saints will miss Graham, but have made a few good signings as well. Warrington look marginally weaker.
Lots of other teams have new coaches, which is a difficult element to account for. Reckon Bradford, Catalan and London look most improved in terms of players.

| A couple of suprises in there perhaps. I'm certainly planning on defeating fate by insisting that Bradford will finish about 10th. There, can you hear me you gods of sod? I said tenth. What are you going to do about it you fatheaded buffoons?

I've judged this based on fully fit squads, obviously some teams will have more luck than other when it comes to injuries and this will no doubt affect how teams end up.
Can't see why Warrinton won't breeze it again like they did last season, no real significant losses other than Matt King and with Waterhouse coming in they will be stronger than ever.
Leeds will suffer as a result of not replacing Buderus, McShane is a good prospect but isn't of the same standard.
Not sure how Saints will go really. Despite their terrible injury run last season they were still up there so who knows. Obviously Graham will be a big loss and I'm not convinced about playing Hohaia in the halves but time will tell.
Catalans to be the most improved side, injuries permitting. Keeping Bosc and Pryce fit is vital to their success.
I'm being optimistic and putting us 8th, but we'll need some good fortune on the injury front and sides like Hull KR could easily finish above us. Not too sure about Cas though, apart from a few players their squad looks pretty poor.

The top 5 pick themselves although Wigan do look weaker despite having the best player in the comp. I'm going for a significant improvement in us by virtue of the fact that we'll start a season with proper halfbacks the odd centre and a conviction that losing Lynch will not be that damaging. Fom outside the top 5 I think HullKR will kick on as Dobson and Green are decent and they've signed a couple of forwards who might actually play unlike Mason. I don't see the Giants improving as Griffin is a big loss and they were going backwards anyway. Hull's squad has far too much money in far too few players. Look past the first choice 17 and you're into the under 20s which means a couple of injuries and suspensions a and you're in trouble. London have recruited well and credit to their chairman while it will take Wakey and Widnes another year to buid squads from pretty much nothing. I'd like to see Cas do OK but Salford look a mess.
