I think we'll finish above all three of the dour West Yorkshire sides - Cas, Wakey, Hudds - and Hull FC. Quins are doing ok but are vulnerable to a collapse too.

I think we'll lose at least three more than you're predicting there. Catalans, St Helens, Hull KR the main risks.

My predictions

Castleford Tigers - nail biting draw
Bradford Bulls - WIN closer than last time though
Catalan Dragons - WIN not the same without potter
Hull FC - WIN
Celtic Crusaders - WIN
St Helens - LOSE last minute drop goal
Huddersfield Giants - WIN
Salford City Reds - WIN close game
Leeds Rhinos - LOSE just
Wigan Warriors - LOSE hope im wrong
Wakefield Trinity Wildcats - WIN easy
Hull Kingston Rovers - WIN hard fought match
Harlequins RL - WIN revenge

My predictions

Castleford Tigers - WIN COMFORTABLY
Bradford Bulls - WIN COMFORTABLY
Catalan Dragons - LOSE OUT JUST
Hull FC - WIN JUST
Celtic Crusaders - WIN COMFORTABLY IN LAST 20 MINS
St Helens - WIN ONLY JUST
Huddersfield Giants - LOSE BY A FEW
Salford City Reds - WIN EASY
Leeds Rhinos - LOSE ONLY JUST
Wigan Warriors - LOSE jUST
Wakefield Trinity Wildcats -

I said 5th even when we were going through the mire earlier in the season and I still stand by that.

6th at best imo. You haven't finished top 5 for about 4 years and this season is probably the worst you've had yet. Unless Cas/Wakey/Quins fall down big time that is.

Hull KR

I will go for 6th

We're not yet at the point where we can expect performances consistent with Friday night, plus we're probably due another injury or two along the way. If we lose Briers again we'll take a step backwards, for instance. Best chance of glory is the Challenge Cup: we'll have to beat some top sides to do it but that still means just three outstanding performances against the eight or ten needed to get us into the top four. I think we should be happy, given the poor start, to finish anywhere from 6th to 8th and at least be involved in the playoffs again.

When the season started i said 4th, looking at the table last night i'm sticking with my 4th prediction. I can see Wakefield, Harlequins and Hudders losing a few place from now until the end of the year.

aslong as were in the playoffs i can see us doing really well semis or maybe final?

How does the playoffs work this year in its extended format? I heard the top team are able to choose who they play in the first round, or something along those lines. I'm sure one of the resident boffins on here will know.
