| Quote: Rotherham Fev Fan "Fev have only lost Briggsy. An influencial player I'll give you that, but will be replaced for the league season! In the mean time Kainy to 6 and James Davy on dual reg short term to cover hooker.
A balanced looking side at Fev and similar to last year, no-one tipping our lot for the top of the tree!! I'll run with that - again!!
The team avoiding the greatest injuries will be the one's there about! A short and tight league programme!'"
For me, your season may well depend on your halves - the difference between a good team and an outstanding one.
For us, much will depend on our start - first six games are Fev (twice); Barrow (twice); Halifax, and Widnes. Methinks the "fixture planners" at Red Hall are having a laugh!

We have to play them sometime Alan may as well get them out the way, then if we are not badly placed in the table after them games all will be well, i hope.

| Really interesting views from Leigh fans....i think anyone underestimating Batley this season will end up with egg on their face. I saw them last season a few times, and seen them twice in pre-season. They smashed Halifax and the score flattered Fax as they defended heroically for most of the game. They held an almost full strength castleford team last weekend and they will offer a different threat than they did last year.
The difference is that they have added some real size to the forwards and aggression, Mennell is back alongside Handforth and Moore, the 2 best Giants dual reg players in Hodgson and Johnson, as well as Flanagan back after his ban. They will finish in the top 4 for certain. Featherstone will be up there, halifax not as strong, Barrow ?? can schofield use his outdated style of play to have Barrow in the mix ?? Tolousse have lost most of their best players ?? Sheffield will be the usual difficult side to beat, and Hunslet and York will be out of their depth. Dewsbury hot and cold but wont bother the top 6.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Hence the reason I haven't tried to predict anything , once again on any given day any team will be able to beat anybody , injuries to ' key ' players will decide who finishes where , good innit

| In SL, half way through the season, just under half the teams will have nothing left to play for and the crowds will drop. How exciting, Crusaders wont pay their bills, Quinns will still get crowds and finish in the last 4, Salford will be keep showing us pretty pictures of JCBs, and WAKEY are doomed.
Then in Mar/April the RFL clowns will annouce that Widnes will be joining SL for the 2012 season. Also that there wont be a guraanteed place for any more teams from our leagues.

Quite right and makes you wonder why 30 % of them regularly follow our side to away games.
And because this is a prediction thread I predict the winners of this seasons Championship will not get promoted and the bottom 4 teams in Non Relegation league will see their crowds decline as they will even at Leeds and Saints. I also predict the anti competition/ambition supporters will blame it on the price of petrol and not the cost of walking sticks for old flat cappers.
One further prediction Wigan will beat you when you play them but that won't make me too happy.

| You're not very good at this moderator business are you.
Why would you get rid of your most interesting character, someone everyone loves to get one over on and someone who hasn't broken the AUP once.
It's not exactly going to make a lot of difference to my life is it, if I was THAT bothered I'd just create a new account. However, I'm not, its just a bit of harmless fun.

You can change your IP address then can you? Haven't broke the AUP, I beg to differ. Isn't there one concerning taking threads off topic or generally posting nonsense just to get your post count up. Why don't you go on the Warrington board or did they see sense and ban you? You certainly love yourself, but then again I suppose everyone deserves to be loved by one person
