Another season is upon us in a matter of months and the prediction that Wakefield will finish bottom is rife again. You'd think that a top 8 spot and a Challenge Cup semi final would show people that we might have start to become much more competitive... But no, Wakey are predicted to be bottom again...

Would it help at all if everybody predicted Wakefield would be top?

I'll take the underdog tag all day long icon_biggrin.gif

Let's face it, for any glory hunters out there, Wakefield isn't the club that you follow.
We thrive in adversity and with Kear back at Belle View, we'll be digging in, ready for the fight.

I'm looking forward to it but, a top 8 finish would be one hell of an achievement, just as it was last season.

Full list of odds (William Hill) for next seasons GF winners

Wigan (1)- 11/4
Warrington (2) 7/2
Hull FC (3) 5/1
Saints (4) 5/1
Leeds (9) 7/1
Castleford (5) 9/1
Catalan (6) 20/1
Hudds (11) 20/1
Leigh (10) 33/1
Salford (12) 50/1
Widnes (7) 66/1
Wakefield (icon_cool.gif 200/1

So, we're rank outsiders for the title.
Widnes fans will be more vexed than us. A 7th place finish and they are 66/1 just above Trinity in the list.

On paper we will as always have the 12th position squad on ability, we spend the least, and if you had to put money on it nobody would criticize you for picking us to finish last. The reality is there will be some good sides in the bottom four. Every pundit will put Widnes , Leigh and Wakey in the bottom four. They may well suggest Huddersfield or Catalan for the other spot.
I think that Warrington, Wigan , Cas , Saints, Hull have no worries about a bottom four finish. I think the rest, Catalans, Widnes, Leeds, Salford, Leigh, Hudds and us will be competitive and four of the 7 will be disappointed. As always we will need our fair share of luck with injuries, we will need a great team spirit. We have to to be fit and we need to lean how to defend, somehow the coach has to work another miracle and reduce our average points against fro 40 + to 20 in order to give ourselves a chance.

I think until we put back to back play off seasons together, we will always get written off.

Still really hard to predict with I think some player movements to be confirmed in an out with all super league teams.

Out of last years middle 8 teams in Leeds, Huddersfield and Salford, I can see Leeds returning to the top 8, but not challenging the top 4. I see Huddersfield improving but may still be a middle 8 side, or at best scrape 8th, and Salford middle 8's with newcomers Leigh.

I see the top 4 staying as it it was in 2016, with maybe the order changing, maybe Castleford pushing the top 4 but missing out. Potentially, I also see Catalan dropping a couple of positions..

I think we will be among those sides fighting for one of the last play off spots with Widnes and Huddersfield.

I agree for some reason I'm feeling confident this year I can see Widnes Leigh Salford huddersfield finishing below us n I think Catalans may struggle this year too

We have a massive challenge - the season after each good season we have struggled. Can we break that cycle?

Yes thats what I was saying TRB.

We tend to struggle putting two play off seasons together.

Having said that, under Kear, I think we finished 7th,7th and 5th is successive seasons. Unfortunately back then it was top 6 that got in the play offs.
