6. Huddersfield
7. Rovers
8. Bradford
9. Catalans
10. Cas

3. Saints
4. Hull
5. Leeds
6. Rovers
7. Hudds
8. Salford
9. Bradford
10. Cats
11. Cas

Another year where we're confidently and roundly predicted to come last and as yet we've always failed to live up to the hype

Quote: Mild Rover "There are so many variables, but I think you can split the league into 4 categories of expectation.
Group 1 - realistic hopes of winning it.
Wigan. Champions and quality additions.
Leeds. Drifted a bit in 2010, but they had a really bad spell on the injury front and still managed 4th and a play-off win at Wigan. New coach is always a step into the unknown.
Wire. Back to back cup winners - no reason that they can't be the fifth club to lift the SL trophy. Don't think they will go all the way, personally, but they won't be far off.
Saints. Another big club with a new coach. Have lost their talismanic hooker and losing 4 GF in a row has got to take a toll. On the other hand LMS and Shenton are pretty decent recruits and they keep producing young players who make the step up look easy.
Group 2 - Get to the play-offs and hope to hit form at the right time. Challenge Cup remains best chance of silverware - but the flat cap is working!
Huddersfield - will keep on being powerfully competent. Loss of B. Hodgson is a blow though.
Rovers - Mason, Green and Hall replace players that barely played in 2010. The first 2 particularly should give us an extra, much needed, dimension.
Bradford - New everything, should jumpstart them and end what seems to have been a period of stagnation rather than transition.
Hull - If they get over the tough early season hurdles could do okay. Couple of good signings, but could have done with a couple more to build on their improved performance in 2010. Maybe 1 more to come?
Group 3 - Hope to sneak a play-off spot.
Catalans - the spoonists in 2010 - a massive disappointment. Must be better in 2011, surely?
Salford - Fresh start, a little like Bradford, with a big turnover of players. Their shocks won't be such a shock anymore, but I think they'll not quite have the consistency to make the 8.
Cas - Loss of Shenton and Westerman has got to be a blow to their ambitions. Orr will take some pressure off Chase though and if they win the race for the signature of cynophile Joel Monaghan that would be a boost.
Group 4 - The spoon-dodgers.
Wakefield - ongoing uncertainty over their future has badly hampered recruitment. Kear seems to thrive on adversity however.
Quins - seem to have secured their medium-term future - but too late to build a competitive squad. Will outperform expectations I reckon, but only because they are so low.
Crusaders - Should be starting the season ( ![]()

Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

Warrington Grand Final winners, Castleford for the Cup, Quins to finish bottom and Widnes get their SL license although I woudn't like to predict who they'll replace.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

1) Wigan (as much as I hate to admit it they are an awesome team and i wouldnt bet against them finishing top again)
2) Wire (with an extra years experience of handling the pressure of being a genuine contender we can go one better than last year)
3) Leeds (they underachieved last year but they will be back strong next season)
4) St Helens (i see not everyone agrees but i think playing home games at widnes will take its toll)
5) Hull KR (on their day they are a match for anyone they just need more consistency)
6) Huddersfield (while not being spectacular they are a far better team than their pathetic support deserves)
7) Hull FC (an average mid table finish from a very average team)
8. Salford (with their new signings and with the feel good factor at the club due to the confirmation of the new stadium i can see them sneaking into the play offs)
9) Bradford (i can see it being a long way back for the former giants of the game)
10) Castleford (on their day they can surprise most teams but they have too weak a squad to be taken that seriously)
11) Catalans (A very hard team to beat at home but equally poor away)
12) Crusaders (Massively over-achieved last season, i cant see it happening again)
13) Wakefield (Everyone at the club will know the club is a dead man walking as far as losing their SL place is concerned which wont do much to motivate the team)
14) Harlequins (terrible at home, even worse away, poor support at home and none away they are a disgrace to the SL)
