Well we've never made a final, but people are still expecting trophies this year.

Hull K.R. have never even played in the playoffs...We have on a few occasions plus we have a squad full of internationals thats why people expect trophies..
The fact we've never played in a Grand Final is irrelavant..

Bradford have made some quality players and one or two returning that missed big chunks of the season, they will go very well. The last two years i thought warrington could do some damage in the league but this year i don't really see us threatening the top 3 or 4 places and will be fighting around the 6th spot area.

Not too disimiliar to The Times' predictions.

What with the salary cap and such now, it's fine margins SL. Your splitting hairs between maybe 8 clubs. You can't predict injuries, so you can't predict SL. The most injury free sides, will in the main do better.

Hadfield's opinion is no more or less valid than anyone elses. The fact someone deems fit to pay him to offer it is an irrelevance. I'm sure he'd agree with me on that.

Predictions are crushingly dull, fair play to him for having the cajones to offer a slightly different view, even if most people will deem him mentally unstable as a result.

Good on you Dave, you bearded cuddly bear you.

and he drinks in the angel

I agree. You have nothing to lose, as people forget about these come the end of the season, unless KR do well and he will quote himself. He wouldn;t get any prizes for predicting Leeds v Saints in the GF.

If you are going to have to write a prediction, you may as well stick your neck out with one of the predictions, and this is what he has done. KR are no mugs, and whilst I think his prediction is OTT, they could be a surprise package.

Out of interest, how did his predictions fair for 2006/07/08 when compared with actual?

You are a strange individual Padders! If you are such a positive person, why do you have such a negative, closed mind to so many of our players?

Maybe Rovers haven't but plenty of players in the team have!

If Dave Hadfield ever reads this I will be happy to take a wager that HKR don't make the GF.

Yes ROVERS haven't as a unit thats what i was getting at..

phil clarke predicted catalan last night. is he getting as mental, or is he right about them having the best centre combo, and the best front row in the comp?
