I certainly know that feeling.

Looking at your list I'm guessing that, give or take the odd result here and there, we've both arrived at roughly the same conclusion (as I suspect most people on here probably would).

Too difficult to work out all this stuff, far too much will hinge on who does well in the cup, how interested Wigan will get once the title is nailled on and wire tie up 2nd.

Just look at last year who would have predicted the colossal collapse of Hudds or Wakeys great run in at the end of the year.

Think the OP's table wont be a mile off but I expect Saints to have a better run in then predicted.

Think it could be a year when finishing 5th is a better option then 4th.

You are absolutely right, the amount of variables which can/will affect 9 rounds of games makes it an excercise in random probabilities. I chiefly did this (and subsequently posted my conclusions) simply to pass away a couple of hours at work. Life isn't too bad when you are essentially being paid for posting on an RL forum .

If we take the current table as the starting point, then I reckon you, me and just about everyone else will have most teams going up/down a couple of spots at best. Obviously it's nigh on impossible to factor in runs like Huddersfield & Wakey had last year which can significantly alter any predictions this far out from the end of the season.

It stopped me from getting too bored yesterday evening which was the object of the exercise. Too much time, too little to do and all that .
