Sorry, Luke Gale, Ben is his brother who plays for Hunslet Warriors I think,
Its just my opinion Vasty, I just happen to think that Cas have a great team this season and plenty of depth. Big call to say Saints will not make top four, I just think they will lack consistency .
Happy to put £ 20 quid to a charity of your choice Vasty on a little wager, you pick your teams on the same criteria, suggest we forget Champ and Div 1 as that is a given. Who ever gets most correct pays £ 20 to the others choice of charity.

My Predictions are as follows

Grand Final - Warrington to beat Wigan

League Shield winner - Cas

Top 4 - Cas , Wigan, Warrington, Hull,

Middle 4 - Wakefield, Leeds, St Helens, Catalan,

Bottom 4 - Salford, Huddersfield, Widnes, Leigh,

Leigh to beat Hull KR in Million pound game

Challenge Cup - Hull to beat Leeds

Man of steel - Tom Johnstone

Coach of the year - Chris Chester

Championship winner Hull KR

Div 1 winner Toronto

Wigan or Warrington to win LSS and Grand Ginal (maybe on each)

Top 5

Wigan
Warrington
Hull
Cas
Saints

After that, it could finish in any order and much will depend on injuries but i'll go with

Catalan
Wakefield
Leeds

Hudds
Salford
Leigh
Widnes

Toulouse to get close but will be pipped to the Championship title by KR, who will win the MPG.

Toronto to sail through league 1

Challenge Cup - Wakefield (It wont happen but, every year I just hope that it could be us).

For Trinity, I just want us to compete for the full season.
It was a fantastic effort to make the 8 last season but, the last 7 games weren't good and the previous season was a horror show from start to finish and we were lucky not to fall through the trap door.
I hope that we can make the 8 again and secure 3 wins from the last 7 games.

A couple of early wins will take a bit of pressure off.
Huddersfield away and Salford at home are huge games for us and if Leeds cant get their act together, a win at their place in round 5 would be excellent.

RLW tips us to finish 8th, I'll be happy with that.

It seems that most fans from other clubs are predicting Wakey to finish dead bottom or at least bottom 4, where as most RL press and reporters think we'll finish between 6th and 8th with some even suggesting that pushing for a top 4 spot isn't entirely out of the question. I'm more inclined to believe the views of the reporters as they're generally slightly more impartial and spend more time watching the game, this also seems more in line with what the club and players seem to be hoping for too

I don't know, just been through the Leeds prediction thread on their board and was surprised to see how many have us in the Top 8, very unlike them. Generally though fans of other clubs are lazy when it comes to predictions and it's generally an easy thing to do to put Wakey in the bottom 2. Some fans don't consider where we finished last year and how much we've improved the squad since then, especially compared to the clubs that finished below and around us.

That's how I see this year could go as well. Wigan for LLS and GF and Wire for the CCup.
Also Hull KR and Toronto are almost a certainty to win their Leagues.

In reality predictions are just bias guesses... but can be fun... in a utopian world this is how I would like it to unfold

League: Warrington, Castleford, Hull, St Helens, Trinity, Catalans, Wigan, Leeds, Salford, Hudds, Leigh, Widnes

Widnes v Toulouse in MPG

MOS: Darryl Clarke

Trinity dream team selections; Johnstone Ashurst and Williams

Challenge Cup Trinity v Cas in final

Grand Final Warrington v Hull

Championship league leader : HKR

Promoted from D1 Toronto and Newcastle

Try this one...

If we get to the CCup final or the SL Final you buy my ticket.

If we end up in the MPG I pay for your ticket.

I realise your outlay is greater than mine but I'm sure even you wouldn't resent that. However I'll make up the difference to a charity of your choice. Then we'll know for sure whether rampant pessimism wins over hopeless optimism.

Deal and best of luck I very much hope i am buying your ticket.

My attempt.
