Warrington
Hull
Castleford
St Helens
Leeds
Salford
Wakefield
Huddersfield
Wigan
Catalans
Hull KR
Widnes

Top 8, in potentially any order:

Saints, Wigan, Leeds, Hull, Cas, Warrington, Huddersfield, Catalans

Bottom 4, in potentially any order:

Wakefield, Salford, Widnes, Hull KR

I just hope above anything Cas don't follow the previous two LLS winners and fall into the bottom 4.

I cant see it but stranger things have happened. So here goes;

1. St Helens - I though Holbrook got them ticking towards the back end of the season and will carry on in the same fashion
2. Hull - Will finally find their consistency
3. Cas - Hopefully will still be consistent, Roberts to be a major plus at FB.
4. Wire / Wakefield - Could be either for me, probably the results in the games between the 2 teams will make the difference.
5. Wire / Wakefield - As above
6. Leeds - I think it will be close in the league but I just cant see how Myler replaces McGuire!
7. Wigan - I think 2019 will be a massive year for Wigan when their youngsters come of age. For me, they wont be miles off.
8. Huddersfield - If they keep Mamo and Ika fit, they will go well.
9. Catalans - Will just miss out on the 8's but will comfortably navigate the middles.
10. Hull KR - Will do OK in their first year back, pick up a few big wins.
11. Widnes - Some decent signings, just need to keep their halves injury free.
12. Salford - I think they might struggle this year, a couple of decent signings but went into free fall last season, I expect this to carry on.

Overall i think it will be one of the closest seasons we have ever witnessed, a couple of wins / losses here or there will really affect teams.

I will be completely wrong with the above but who cares, Rugby League and especially Super League is finally back!

Why on earth would I never admit it? If I thought you would finish 6th then I would put you 6th. But I am expecting Wigan to have a better year, I expect Warrington to improve significantly and that leaves Huddersfield, who are probably on a very similar level to you, but I was impressed every time I watched them last year once they booked their ideas up after the Swinton loss. As I said earlier I think they could be a dark horse.

Please dont think I have anything against Wakefield. Yes I got it wrong last year, but that wasnt through a dislike or prejudice of Wakefield. I just got it wrong. I was gutted for you missing the 4 last year and would love for you to go one better this year. I don't think you will. Maybe I will be wrong again?

Aye you could be potentially right there Roy

Although Wakey have a good squad I'd be concerned about the loss of Kear, who my opinion is the best assistant coach in English RL.

He's actually one of the better first team coaches as proved at Hull not that you lot will ever admit it.

However I agree as an assistant he's the best and I can't pretend we won't miss him. However CC is now in his third year with us (one without JK) and his fourth season as a SL coach so I'm guessing he's getting the hang of it.

I also suspect JK will remain available to offer advice and why wouldn't he - as yet there is no conflict of interest.

Who’s you lot, and why wouldn’t they admit it?
You seem very wound up about something Vastman, not sure why

I must admit I won't be admitting wakey are world beaters just yet.

Am I, strand but all I ever read from Hull fans slagging him off from when he was head coach.

In fairness to you lot a lot of Wakey fans did the in his last season with us - chill out a bit and don't take it so person, your not a Leeds fan.

Got to admit I won't lose any sleep at that revelation.

As it happens neither do I but then I don't think any of the current SL teams are on a par with the NRL this year.

Tragic really because last years SL was one of the best ever imho yet we'd still managed to fall further behind.
