At current standings if Salford bring in more quality in the pack then 8th spot is achievable

Leeds
Wigan
Saints
Wire
Giants
Hull
Cas
Catalan
Salford
Widnes
KR
Wakefield

Can see the top 6 being the closest it's been in a good few year which hopefully will make the super 8's more interesting.

PNG winger Garry Lo at Shefield will be the top try scorer in the Championship and will be signed by a Super League club by season's end..

PNG Hunters' star five eighth Israel Eliab, now starting at London Broncos, will have a sensational season, and will be signed by a Super League club by season's end.

I predict that jean whatshisface will slip up and forget to use a persons full name sometime during 2016

a lot of people predicting Hull KR to be challenging in the bottom 3, i seem to remember that last year they were being tipped very highly, have things turned around so much at rervers?

The final possitions may be different, but I'd imagine that when the leagues spilt down the same teams will be gearing up for the same competition as they did at the same time last year.

The current format is more about preserving the status quo than improving the sport. No disrespect to these teams but Wakefield, Widnes and Hull KR are not the big name club players will be queuing up to join. Add to that the percentage, no matter how small, that they could get relegated to the championship and you've another black mark against you for signing players as you can't know for sure you'll stay up so you can't really do any recruitment until the very back end of the year meaning most of the better players will have already signed contracts with teams who they know will be guaranteed a SL place next season. I've not included Salford in that list because even though they will face the same issues as the other bottom 4 clubs, they do have their mad doctor owner and his large bank account and alledged questionable payment methods.

So, you've the bottom 4 clubs with weaker squads, the top 8 with stronger ones so pretty much as you were.

I would say Leeds, Warrington, and Catalan are weaker than last year from the top 8. And Widnes and Wakefield are stronger than last year from the bottom 4. Hull FC are stronger and Cas has a coach who will get the best from an average squad (no disrespect but no real superstars) Hull KR have a weak pack imo. And Salford have recruited poorly, again imo. So to say as you were is a bit narrow minded and shows that alot of posters on this site only take notice of the so-called top 4 and dont pay much, if any attention to who other clubs sign. Write us off ayt your peril, but we wil give quite a few clubs a good hiding this season.
