When I scrolled down I was wondering if there were going to be an endless list of permutations. I thought it was Carol Vordamen posting. Why did you stop at 2??

SL is generally predictable that's why I asked the question.
Your answer seems to point the way to why it is.

When I say Hudds finished where they did for a reason, I mean they didn't have bad luck with injuries, they didn't have a load of unfortunate events conspiring against them, they just weren't very good. On paper they are a top 8 team, but what's going to change from last year?'"

Care to expand on that?
Last year you were the worst team in the league (the table doesn't lie), and came perilously close to the MPG. You appointed a coach who has done nothing in his career and showed little if any improvement. Your recruitment so far has been uninspiring at best. I've tipped you to finish 8th pretty much based on the fact that a team featuring McGillvray, Cudjoe and Brough shouldn't finish bottom. But all the evidence suggests I'm being generous.
So enlighten us all as to why you are going to be so fantastic in 2017.

| I really fancy Cas to have a big year and either make a final or be in the top 2 in the lls battle. Genuinely think it's the best squad we've had in my time as a fan with easily the best coaching staff we've had in that time too. Our injury list was chronic last year and we still had a reasonable year.
I know everyone is bound to have positive thoughts about their sides season ahead though. Pound for pound the side is much better then the 2014 side.
Also, wakefield will not finish last, 8th again or 9th.

Huddersfield didn't have an injury crisis in the same way that Leeds/Wigan/Cas/Wakefield had where they had 10/11 starting players missing for multiple games. The coach leaving was a decision by the club which means that disruption could be minimised through forward planning... What else happened to cause disruption?

I know the season didn't get off to the best of starts with the Ferres saga and a few injuries in the first few weeks, then obviously there was Luke Robinson's retirement. But you had it easy with injuries compared to a lot of teams, and it can't really be used as an excuse for finishing where you did. Cas, as an example, were riddled with injuries all year, but remained competitive throughout. Paul Anderson leaving was because of your poor form, not a contributor to it.
If I'm wrong though tell me why, rather than the cryptic messages.

| 1 Wigan just know how to win when it matters
2 Hull FC getting there, just need to be a bit more consistent
3 Warrington decent side with good depth in the squad
4 St. Helens still seem to be up there with an average squad but have added some decent forwards
5 Castleford great coach with a decent squad but will find it hard to replace Solomona if he goes
6 Leeds cant possibly be as poor as last season but the belief has gone from their mentality
7 Widnes If we can rediscover our home form then we will be ok with a settled squad.
8 Catalans Never easy to predict where they will finish Home form dictates their final position
9 Huddersfield If Brough can stay fit and produce his 4 nations form then they will be better than last year.
10 Wakefield Kear will have them motivated but a small squad will catch them out in the end
11 Salford Seen nothing to suggest anything other than another struggle with Koucash no longer throwing money at them.
12 Leigh Will start well but the grind of S/L will eventually tell. Valiant effort but will be a step too far this comin season.
