It has no relevance except in Printers world - he's the answer to a question nobody asked.

It has plenty of relevance to normal people except Wildcats fans who think results against one certain team are what is the bee all and end all.

You can beat Wigan 2-0 in the regular season next year, you can make it 3 in the Supet 8's....but if you don't follow it up with enough wins elsewhere then it means jack all.

I agree it is meaningless the year we got relegated we put 50 on both Wakefield and castleford on there own turf didn't do us any good

There you go again with your generalisations about Trinity fans.
Like I've said to you before, I always thought you were a decent poster when you were ThePrinter, but for some reason almost every time anyone who supports Wakey posts on here & no matter how trivial you're all over them like you're looking for an argument, what's that all about because I don't see you do it with fans of other teams too much when you could. chillpill.gif

Anyway, I'll go-

He was decent when we weren't very good and he could patronise us. Just shows how fragile the egos are on this forum and he's not alone. Odd thing is his prediction don't look that ridiculous so makes you wonder what the problem is.

We've rattled a load of pre- conception in the past two yeas and they can't stand - hence the fact that at best most have us to do no better than last year.

Of course they may be right, I don't think there are many Wakey fans who think we will be champs. Hell we may even crash and burn but that's the same with all teams just look at Warrington last year.

However the season hasn't started yet and anybody can see we have made some potentially very good signings especially compared to some other clubs. That's why you have to smile at some of the teams placed above us by some. There is no logic it's just none sense and prejudice.

If your as good as your last game then Wigan shouldn't be anywhere near.

That said I'm sure Wigan will recover its in their DNA but right now they look poor. No just picking on Wigan, despite Printers propaganda Leeds looked no great shakes on Boxing Day even with a fairly strong squad.Cas got beat though it was a weak team.

You can't tell now really but if you were basing it on logic - last years results - this years sightings then Wakefield have to be top 6 though it would kill mr zucchini to admit it.

Again I'm not saying we actually will but if your being genuine with the facts at hand you'd pretty much pick similar finishing positions as last year with perhaps Salford giving way for fairly obvious reasons.

But hey shifty we are upperty Tri fans with a chip on our shoulders and no right to be ambitious or optimistic - wouldn't want to upset the cost status quo that has existed in RL for the last 20 years.

Cas tried and look what happened - back in your boxes.

Top 8, in potentially any order:

Saints, Wigan, Leeds, Hull, Cas, Warrington, Huddersfield, Catalans

Bottom 4, in potentially any order:

Wakefield, Salford, Widnes, Hull KR

I just hope above anything Cas don't follow the previous two LLS winners and fall into the bottom 4.

I cant see it but stranger things have happened. So here goes;

1. St Helens - I though Holbrook got them ticking towards the back end of the season and will carry on in the same fashion
2. Hull - Will finally find their consistency
3. Cas - Hopefully will still be consistent, Roberts to be a major plus at FB.
4. Wire / Wakefield - Could be either for me, probably the results in the games between the 2 teams will make the difference.
5. Wire / Wakefield - As above
6. Leeds - I think it will be close in the league but I just cant see how Myler replaces McGuire!
7. Wigan - I think 2019 will be a massive year for Wigan when their youngsters come of age. For me, they wont be miles off.
8. Huddersfield - If they keep Mamo and Ika fit, they will go well.
9. Catalans - Will just miss out on the 8's but will comfortably navigate the middles.
10. Hull KR - Will do OK in their first year back, pick up a few big wins.
11. Widnes - Some decent signings, just need to keep their halves injury free.
12. Salford - I think they might struggle this year, a couple of decent signings but went into free fall last season, I expect this to carry on.

Overall i think it will be one of the closest seasons we have ever witnessed, a couple of wins / losses here or there will really affect teams.

I will be completely wrong with the above but who cares, Rugby League and especially Super League is finally back!

Why on earth would I never admit it? If I thought you would finish 6th then I would put you 6th. But I am expecting Wigan to have a better year, I expect Warrington to improve significantly and that leaves Huddersfield, who are probably on a very similar level to you, but I was impressed every time I watched them last year once they booked their ideas up after the Swinton loss. As I said earlier I think they could be a dark horse.

Please dont think I have anything against Wakefield. Yes I got it wrong last year, but that wasnt through a dislike or prejudice of Wakefield. I just got it wrong. I was gutted for you missing the 4 last year and would love for you to go one better this year. I don't think you will. Maybe I will be wrong again?

Although Wakey have a good squad I'd be concerned about the loss of Kear, who my opinion is the best assistant coach in English RL.

He's actually one of the better first team coaches as proved at Hull not that you lot will ever admit it.

However I agree as an assistant he's the best and I can't pretend we won't miss him. However CC is now in his third year with us (one without JK) and his fourth season as a SL coach so I'm guessing he's getting the hang of it.

I also suspect JK will remain available to offer advice and why wouldn't he - as yet there is no conflict of interest.

Who’s you lot, and why wouldn’t they admit it?
You seem very wound up about something Vastman, not sure why
