The same who predicted London to finish 10th last year... I think he's got a couple wrong.

1st Toronto
2nd Leigh
3rd Widnes
4th Tolouse
5th Halifax
6th York
7th Featherstone
8th Bradford
9th Barrow
10th Batley
11th Sheffield
12th Dewsbury
13th Rochdale
14th Swinton

I think Featherstone could struggle this season with the loss of Duffy and Ridyard but can't 100% be sure as I haven't seen their signings for the season. I think we may do slightly better than 8th though. Leigh as 2nd is the one that baffles me, they have been through a hell of a lot recently and although they have made some brilliant signings I can't see them getting 2nd, hopefully they do well but I would have said 5th-6th.

Leigh don't seem to have recruited any quality, predicting 2nd is laughable.

Interestingly all signed on 1 year deals...

I think Leigh will be around 7th or 8th. Lots of unknowns with them. A lack of stability can really hinder you as we know all too well. Depends who else they recruit and how big their squad is. It's a long season.

I think anywhere from 5th to 8th for us.

Toronto
Toulouse
Halifax
Widnes
Featherstone
Bradford

Batley
Leigh
Sheffield
Barrow
Dewsbury

Fax may shock a few they have a strong squad and year on year stability. Widnes are a little unknown

Anything could happen at Leigh!

Hard to make predictions with some recruitment still to take place. I'm not one to get angry by predictions (I think we'll finish higher than 8th. But it's going to be such a tough league, if you don't perform, you will find yourselves stringing losses together)

I am baffled by Leigh 2nd though. At this moment in time they have. 18/19 players I think. A fair few young SL players too. Having too many is a disaster in this league as we found out. It's a long season and they still need a fair few signings.

Can make a case for about 8 teams finishing in the play-offs. Fev have lost a load of players, but it depends on which Leeds players they acquire and when. How will York and the Bulls cope with having tough games every week. Widnes, will the fans back them? Can they finally avoid an injury crisis? It will be a cracking league.

My (probably wrong) predictions

1. Toronto
2. Toulouse
3. Widnes
4. Halifax
5. Bulls
6. Fev
7. Leigh
8. York
9. Sheffield
10. Batley
11. Barrow
12. Dewsbury
13. Rochdale
14. Swinton

Everyone seems to be predicting Widnes will finish in the top 5 but I have my doubts about them. Sure they’ve kept Inu and Gelling (although Gelling’s was hardly convincing) and their first choice 17 looks alright but they’re relying on a lot of young players after that who are in for a tough baptism. The championship is very physical and none of them showed very little stomach for the fight when it was tough last year. They’re going to be a scalp for a lot of teams.

I think York will surprise a few sides in the championship. They were great last year. If they have a decent size squad then they’ll go well. For Fev it all really depends on the Boas brothers and the players they get from Leeds. If that falls into place I think they’re a good bet for the top 5.

Sheffield I hear have recruited well so could be big improvers.

IF we keep Inu and Gelling fit we'll go very well next season. Most exciting out of all of them is Ollie Ashall Bott at fullback, if he stays fit, most wont get near him. Outside of that though, our backs don't look great. We need a creative halfback but the likes of Danny Craven and Gilmore will do well in the championship.

It will be a cracking league mate I've said this for a few months. Hopefully very competitive, it's a bit of an unknown to me at the minute but I'm hoping with a few new signings, good youth coming through and a new coach we will go well.

Our crowds depleted last season and it will be hard to get some back. We've probably sold around 2,000 season tickets so far with an additional 1500 junior tickets given out, hopefully we will break the 4,000 barrier which I will be pleased with.

Looking forward to it.

Aside from a vaguely dull sense of inevitability about who finishes top (although they might bottle it in the grand final of course), it's excitingly difficult to make a prediction on the final table. As my fellow Bulls fans have said, I'm happy to be scrapping for 5th spot. Getting in the playoffs would be a lovely achievement after our recent years but isn't a must for me.

Again though, whilst I'm really pleased Leigh have found stability, the predictions of how high they will finish from Schofield and fans alike, seems a tad optimistic.

Bradford top 4 easily for me. Their back line could do damage in super league.
