Just a few days from the start of new season. Some Clubs have noticeably strengthened whilst others appear 'weak' to say the least. Bit of fun then Ladies & Gents - predict the league table as you think it will be at the end of Round 27.

1st - Warrington Wolves
2nd - St Helens
3rd - Wigan Warriors
4th - Hull FC
5th - Leeds Rhinos
6th - Catalan Dragons
7th - Huddersfield Giants
8th - London Broncos (Almost put Quins )
9th - Wakefield Wildcats
10th - Bradford Bulls
11th - Hull KR
12th - Salford City Reds
13th - Castleford Tigers
14th - Widnes Vikings

Tough to predict as ever - but if positions 1 and 14 were correct, that would be very sweet.

Bit early to guess...

Us or sts top. Widnes bottom. Cats do well-ish

Everyone seems to think Widnes will finish bottom, am I the only one who think they can finish 12-10th? Just gotta feeling for some reason

01 - St Helens
02 - Warrington
03 - Leeds
04 - Wigan
05 - Catalan
06 - Huddersfield
07 - Hull
08 - Hull Kr
09 - Castleford
10 - Salford
11 - Widnes
12 - Bradford
13 - London
14 - Wakefield

Not getting involved,All the other fans will come on here and call us cocky bleeders!!!!!

Wire (can see us clinching it again last game of the season)
St Helens
Leeds
Wigan
Catalan
Hull
Huddersfield
Hull KR
Castleford
Widnes
Wakefield
London
Bradford
Salford

It will be interesting to see how Saints Leeds and Wigan get on with Graham, Buderus & Maguire respectively.

Catalan will again prove to be tough opposition.

01 - St Helens
02 - Wigan
03 - Leeds
04 - Wire
05 - Catalan
06 - Huddersfield
07 - Hull
08 - Hull Kr
09 - Castleford
10 - London
11 - Bradford
12 - Salford
13 - Widnes
14 - Wakefield

1st-2nd Saints, Wire
3rd-6th Catalans, Huddersfield, Leeds, Wigan
7th-9th Castleford, Hull, Hull KR
10th-13th Bradford, London, Salford, Wakefield
14th Widnes

In those groups, but god knows what order within each group.

We'll just have to back it up. Being current lls holders and the pshowing last season would suggest wire would be, in the old rugby saying, 'there or there abouts'. Plus we have improved every position we have lost a man (excluding wing and kingy) and I doubt king was the sole reason for our success.

The strongest teams from last year were warrington, sts, wigan and arguably leeds. They'll probably be close again this season.

Think Saints will set the pace next year, they look very strong to me.
Widnes to do a lot better than some think, mainly thanks to the plastic pitch. Will get some pastings away but at home they could upset one or two of the top sides.

League Express are predicting a 4th place finish for us......discuss?

1.Hull KR (they won me over with their erudite responses on the KR thread)

2. Hull FC (massive ticket prices must mean they'll be worth more than Moran after 2 games, plenty to invest in the club)

3. Huddersfield (Guaranteed points wearing that away kit through opposition laughter)

4. London (inspirational crowd to lift them up in the tight games)

5. Wakefield ( coaching legend first season in charge)

6. Castleford ( who wouldn't be inspired by Millward, giant of the game, ask Richie Mathers for a reference)

7. Bradford ( New investment from a sporting body should help them)

8. Leeds ( 2012 champions from 8th showing the depth of superleague)

9. Widnes ( new plastic pitch will help them bed in, first season jitters just keeping them out the playoffs)

10. Catalans ( Leon 'full season' Pryce and Thomas 'never injured' Bosc not enough to inspire them to top icon_cool.gif

11. Saints (The loss of Graham will save on their sun cream bill meaning long term investment for England RU but not quick enough to save this season)

12. Warrington ( Dads army, no legs, no long term investment and too much arrogance will be their downfall)

13. Salford ( Miracles do exist with an usually high finish for the Reds)

14. Wigan (Wane works his magic)

Who have the Express got as 1,2,3 then?
