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

So can you post your Final Table?

That was a little more difficult than I imagined! lol

I only concentrated on the 3 teams we are discussing though

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...

Not just surprising...It's amazing as you did not include the fixtures for the penultimate round.
You will see that by summing your total points per club = 364 when in fact it should be 378.
27 rounds of 7 games * 2 points available.

Thanks for the tip on Google Docs I will try this.

I reckon that the top 6 is pretty much a done deal on current form.

However think its then 2 from 4 for the remaining places (Bulls, Saints, Hull KR and Wakey). Given current form and my own opinion, this is what I feel will happen...

I reckon its all down to points difference and with games against Wigan, Wire and Hull FC to come it could be very tight for us!!!

Think we will finish above KR by 1 pt, if Brown keeps tinkering at saints the arent a given for the 8 yet, but i fear it will come down to us and KR
