None really, i see Bradford, Cas and Rovers as the same strength so any of those 3 in any order really.

I really don't rate Betts as a coach and I think Wakey & Cas have similar standard squads but Clark will get that little bit extra out of them.

| I see it as three distinct groups plus london
1 Saints, wigan, wire, hudds and leeds in any order
2 Hull, hullkr, cats, salford in any order
3 cas, wakey, bradford, widnes in any order
with london dead last, i really hope they can string some sort of a squad together capable of competing but i cant see how

| My prediction, FWIW is that the game in GB will continue to lurch from crisis to crisis whilst hiding behind the success of the World Cup. SL clubs will still pay lip service to development and continue to sign 2nd rate past it, never will be players from overseas at the expense of training/ coaching local talent and providing them with a meaningful competition (like say the NSW Cup) in which to play not just as add on players for championship teams.
At the last minute a sponsor will be found for SL who will bring something to the table, but as the only candidate will be accepted.
Sky, once again, will say it's the most open exciting etc etc SL ever but who REALLY expects Cas, Widnes, HKR, Wakey, Bulls, Broncos, Salford to win either the hub cap or Grand Final?
Who expects the top 4 to be that dissimilar to last season (well done Giants for breaking the mould).
But....................................
I really would love to be proved 100% wrong, with record crowds flowing to all the stadia and media attention at an all time high.

| Next season looks like it could be really interesting, a lot more evenly matched sides with a few surprises to keep things on the boil.
I can't see any of the Wigan/Wire/Saints/Huddersfield/Leeds group being as dominant, add into the mix Salford/Hull/Hull KR sides that could make a mess of the big 5 and we have the prospect of a great season ahead.
Roll on February

Are you taking bets on Wakey finishing bottom? For a laugh? Or for charity?
Name your price...

| Quote: Mr. Zucchini Head "That's brilliant. You tell someone off for predicting you to come 11th and then predict yourselves to come 5th, ahead of Warrington?
Rovers have put together a decent looking pack, but it's nothing startling. To say your three quarters are average is being kind and we don't know how Keating will go.
Fwiw I think you will make the playoffs and you have put a good squad together. But it all depends in Keating for me.'"
I stated 11th by mistake his prediction actually had Rovers to finish 13th.

Yeah fair enough, there's no way you will finish 13th, or 11th to be fair. Although predicting you will finish ahead of Warrington is highly optimistic to say the least.

7-catalans
8-cas tigers
9-hull kr
10-widnes
11-salford
12-bradford
13-wakefield
14-london
Think itll be a wigan vs warry final, salford to pick some scalps off but struggle with consistency and bradford and wakey fighting for 12 th place. Hudds to habe another big season big the wheels drop off in the last quarter of season.

Think your bang on the money here. As a Widnes fan I've seen significant over the last couple of years to say I think we could sneak the 8th spot. We've lost Hock but brought in Tickle and Danny Galea. Think we'll surprise a few teams next year however for all I know we could finish in the bottom 2.
