| Quote: ThePrinter "Looking at recent seasons I’d say you’ll need around 32 points to get 5th. The exception was last season when it was 27 points but can see things being much closer with teams in the mix all able to beat one another and no Super 8 fixtures which teams in 7th and 8th would give up on. Granted one less fixture but for the aforementioned reasons I still think 32 could be the mark.
So you’re looking at maybe 10/11 home wins and 5/6 away wins.'"
Yeah, I'd be looking for ar0ound 30 points for that 5th place. Like you say though the teams generally look better this season so we may not see a runaway leader or such a points difference between the top 4 and the rest, which may have a knock on effect to the points needed. |

Colossal Catalans faced some spirited resistance from terrific Toulouse, for whom half back Stanislas Robin was a standout. |

| Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "Preseason friendlies are meaningless. Everyone is trying to avoid injury.
Once Konrad Hurrell, Tuimoala Lolohea and Kallum Watkins have achieved match fitness Leeds will be a force to be reckoned with.
Samuel Tomkins is going to be a great attacking asset for Catalans along with Antoine Gigot and Michael McIlorum.'"
Lolohea is very overrated and very overweight, Konrad Hurrell has been rubbish for years and it’ll be a battle to keep him fit. Watkins is coming back from a serious injury that he may never fully recover from. For some reason you left off Trent Merrin who is their best signing. Leeds may well scrape top 5 but they certainly won’t be a force to be reckoned with with the squad they have. |

I heard it’s 3 month. If that trio can’t play together for 3 month then you won’t win enough early season games to make the top 5 - just a thought. |

Kevin Brown now ruled out for the full season for Warrington after doing his achilles just like Gale. They’ll have to keep their fingers crossed that Blake Austin remains injury free throughout the whole season otherwise that top 2 most people have them in could look a bit shaky..

Kev Brown's allegedly done his achilles. Do you want to re-swap Leeds and warrington? |

Surely Brown being out for the season only solidifies Warringtons position above Leeds?
(Only joking Kev, get well soon). |

Some are some aren’t. Matches vs lower league teams aren’t really anything. SL v SL matches, whilst no guarantee of how you’ll go in the season can offer a BIT of insight if they go really good or really bad for a team. If you lose to a close rival by 30-40 points it might suggest you’ve got a few issues heading into the season. |
