Quote: daveyz999 "wow, didn't realise how hard our run in was.

I don't expect us to beat any of the teams above us in the league, as a reult I don't think we will make it. (only had 3 wins for the remainder of the season)

Hull KR have it tough, and I almost agree with your predictions, although I think they have it in them to grab a win against a stronger team. On my predictions, I had them beating Saints.

Out of the 3 teams, i actually predicted Saints would win the most games, therefore i have Saints in 7th, KR in 8th Bulls in 9th (or below).'"



I got us to finish 8th just, but that is only if we can pull our fingers out,

Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "Sadly I think most of you have missed the point. I don't want you to tell me whether you THINK we can make the 8.

I want you to predict the outocme of every remaining fixture, and then see where that gets you.

It may, or may not, be the same thing.

The other thing to remember is that every other team has to play its fixtures out as well. They won't all score 2 points a week.

Anyway as you are all lazy here's a link to a spreadsheet with my forecasts. But don't argue with my forecasts, and don't tell me your forecasts, do your predictions and tell me where we end up!! That's what I want!!!

As you can see there's a line for each fixture and I have put a 2 and a zero as per the fixture list. You can even use a 1-1 if you predict a draw.


Do I think we will make the top 8? - No.
Do I think we will take more points than our rivals? - No.
Do I need a weatherman to tell me that it is pi$hing down outside? - No.

My forecast - we will not get there. It really does not need a spreadsheet to tell me this.

No. You need an optician instead. It's glorious in God's own.

Unless Cummins and Co manage to improve our defence (gotten worse as the season progresses) and give the Players some desire I think we'll be lucky to win 2 from the remaining fixtures Losing to London in the Challenge Cup seems to have started a downward spiral..

On current form we will not make the 8.

If we improve, and beat all of the teams below us and a team above us (not sure who yet), then I think we have a chance of making 8th.

Look, you thick utter plank, I WANT TO KNOW HOW THE LEAGUE TABLE WILL FINISH GIVEN YOUR HONEST PREDICTIONS FOR EVERY GAME.

This will, co-incidentally, also tell you whether you predict the Bulls will or wil not be in the top 8, but what I want to see you post is YOUR PREDICTED FINAL TABLE.

If it's too hard, fair enough icon_lol.gif

That was a little more difficult than I imagined! lol

I only concentrated on the 3 teams we are discussing though

rlhttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key

How do you give them a friendly name?

Tsk tsk. Resorting to insults. Poor show.

It is not too hard to do whatsoever. Just a complete and utter waste of time.

However, we will finish 9th, below.

Wigan
Wire
Huddersfield
Leeds
Hull FC
Catalans
St Helens
HKR

in that order.

Don't understand the spreadsheet but:
V Widnes w 2
V Wire l 0
V Wigan l 0
V Hull l 0
V Wakefield l 0
V Catalans l 0
V Cas w 2
V London w 2
V Hudds w 2
Total of 8 more points giving us 24.
I don't think that will be enough.

It's easy. The first line, Salford plays Wakefield. If you think Salford will win, give them 2 points and give Wakey 0 points. and so on.

By my reckoning 24 points would be extremely close. So, on your figure, we are gonna be damn close to the 8 anyway, missing out by maybe only a point. That being the case, nobody can rule us out just yet.

26 points for 8th in 2012, 27 in 2011, 24 in 2010
So 24 this year will be tight to say the least.

I see what FA is suggesting and its a valid point. We should make our own assessments of what results the Bulls might have in conjunction with other team's projected results.
I have created a more interactive Excel spreadsheet than FA's but sadly have no idea how to put it on the forum. TINY and me have a communicative problem. He tells me that he does not recognise me - which is not surprising as we have never met.
However, in the spirit it was asked my calculated assessment of points is a follows
Wigan 45
Wolves 43
Leeds 39
Hudds 38
Hull FC 32
Catalans 31
Saints 30
Bradford 28
Hull KR 24
Wakefield 19
Widnes 18
London 11
Castleford 10
Salford 10

I used Google Docs, which has its own spreadsheet that works similar to Excel, and it lets you create a link for sharing.

NB the first person to do all the predictions agrees with the result, however surprising. Hmm...
