Most pundits go Leeds, Saints, Wigan in some order. Then toss Warrington, Catalan, Us and Hull (it could be their year) in afterwards. They might add Cas if they remember them. Apart from Phil Clarke's LSD period two years ago when he tipped Salford to win it all they won't make too many bold predictions to avoid looking stupid.

BBC pits us between 5th and 8th.

The pundits always underestimate our finishing position in the league- but it matters little anyway!

Chris Irvine (Times) has you down as finishing 6th. Says you'll miss Ferres.

Well theres a surprise...

We've been tipped 6,7,8 for the last few years

Yet somehow managed to "scrape" the top 4 or even 3

Pundits literally just make up their stuff, knowing no one cares come mid season even

how many have predicted us correctly in recent years? dont think any as we have been in the top 4 now for i dont know how many seasons on the trot?

Some people can't get past 2005

And they all keep forgetting we didn't miss him in all but the 8? Games he played last season - in fact he cost the Giants the win in at least one of those games he played!

three

Indeed. It's amazing how they've the nerve to expect payment for repeating the same guff ad nauseum. Mind you, it's not something we at Leeds have experienced; the retirement of Peacock and Sinfield has barely been mentioned

yes top 3 in past 3 seasons

and also won the most home games in past 3 seasons

but no meaningful trophies won in past 3 seasons. Can't see that changing this year from what I saw last night, but early days

yeh but these predictions are on league table finish not who wins the grand final

hope for top 6 this year is best i feel we can do

well, thats it now, we've lost our first game, season over, blah blah blah!
