People have been projecting the downfall of Wakefield for years and they always find a way to survive.

But if it finally does happen (doubtful) well the water is just fine in the championship......

8? No way. I'd say there are 6 very decent looking teams in Saints, Wigan, Hull, Warrington, Castleford and Catalans. There are 3 very weak looking teams in Wakefield, Salford and Leigh. Inbetween you have Leeds who need players back ASAP, Huddersfield who are still finding their feet under a new coach but don't look terrible, and Hull KR who at the minute look a little bit in no mans land. Too good to be relegated, not good enough to make the playoffs.

From what I've seen I still fully expect Leigh to go down.

Which would be Leigh v Wigan then Warrington. We are now 3 games in, and you're cock sure who will be relegated. In that case i expect you would bet your house on it.........................Thought not!

He gives Leeds credit for players returning but makes no reference to Leighs injured and newly recruited players (and settling in period).

Spot on mate. Typical know it all, they never change do they?

Well I wouldn't say I'm cock sure. But I predicted you to be relegated pre season and the games I've seen (yes only 2 of them admittedly) have only strengthened my belief. On paper you have the weakest squad in SL. I think Wakefield and Salford just have a bit more about them.

I've got nothing against Leigh at all. In fact I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong, and in all fairness you've played 3 tough games so far. This week against Salford will tell us a lot more I think.

Because when Leeds get some players back they potentially could make a playoff push. I mentioned their injuries specifically because that's the main reason why they currently find themselves in that middle group. Even at full strength Leigh would be one of those bottom 3 that I mention. Lots of teams have injuries.

It's a forum, you know, for giving your opinion. My opinion is that Leigh will get relegated. My opinion has no effect on anything. Get that chip off your shoulder.

And if Leigh win, you might change your mind.

To predict so early in the season is preposterous.

That's what a prediction is, it's having a guess at what we think might happen. If I wait until a side is 10 points adrift before I pick them to go down it's not really pushing the boat out is it.

I take back the bit I said about fully expecting you to go down, it was a hyperbolic statement from me. Yes, if I was going to put money on anyone to be relegated I would choose Leigh, but of course its not a foregone conclusion. I genuinely do hope I'm wrong. I always root for the underdog and if you survive after being admitted at such a late stage with no time to prepare then that's a great achievement.

Predictions count as nowt. If you think Harry Potter is going to come along and wave his wand. You’re lost.

In fairness, it was predicted before the season started

So far, Salford look to be really struggling, along with Trinity and yourselves.
Of those 3 clubs, Leigh have probably most chance to improve, due to signings and getting up to speed in SL but, it's still going to be tough.
At least your Chairman has money to burn, which is less true of Salford, Trinity or KR (the other pre season relegation candidates) - Huddersfield too have been totally underwhelming , but, again, you would expect them to improve.

I thought that Huddersfield would be challenging for a top 4 spot but, they have been bang average so far.
