Wigan be hard to beat. What they did last year was outstanding tbf
Saints have recruited really well. If they don't take half a year to wake up they'll be in the mix
Wire have some real prop rotation now instead of hill having to carry them most games!
Pleased with our own recruitment. I'd pick wigan for top but I think these are the top four! In any order really. Not much betwween them imo

Same top 4 as this term but Wigan on top. Cas 5th, Leeds 6th, cats 7th. Wakey, Leigh and Huddersfield scrap for the last place and Salford bottom.
I will say Wigan to win league again unfortunately and Salford to go down, KR or London up cos London looked decent at times this year.

If HKR don't bounce straight back up, reckon they could be stuck down there for a long time. Hope to see them do it, just as long as it's not at our expense! How awful would Hull v Rovers MPG be?!

top 4 for us again please, after the 8s, another trip to wembley and a better showing in the semis' with an old trafford trip


dont want much lol

Wigan
Warrington
FC
Cas
Saints
Leeds
Catalans
Wakefield
Hudds
Widnes
Leigh
Salford

Really difficult to predict as there always seems to be one or two that completely underperform as we saw last year in Leeds & Hudds, and one or two that improve massively, us and Wakey last year.

Now that the Wembley thing is over with, priority number 1 for the club has to be to become Champions. A Top4 place and a decent showing in the cup are reasonable expectations to set as fans., with anything else a bonus.

Yep same four but maybe a different order - Where people are getting Saints have recruited well is beyond me - i can see them struggling to get in the top eight!

Tommy Lee.

In all seriousness having a halfback in Matty Smith on the field will be a big help.

Castleford will be the outstanding team of 2017

I think we'll finish 6th.

That's if half their team don't get injured. Always seem too

They nearly finished above us in the end and were asleep for half the season. And got bent over v wire in GF semi eliminator or could of made final
Douglas is a real work horse freeing up walmsley. Cos realistically amor and him were saints only props last year. And they've added walker. 1 of the best offloading props. Perfect for off the bench
Centre from storm is a massive upgrade on Turner
Lee is a decent squad bulker/slash interchange for roby
Matty smith. Not the best but a massive game manager and seldom injured.

Lomax missed most the year. If he stays fit and makinson that's 5 players that improve them on this year.

Top 4 for me

Aside from Wigan I still think the top 8 is going to be difficult to predict, who would have had Leeds/Hudds out of the 8 this time last year?
Also if we aren't in the top 4 how will fans feel because it'd be a step back and not 'pushing on' as everyone would be wishing us too.


I think it really depends on how our halfbacks go and how JS goes, we could be anywhere from 1-6, I just really hope Radford can improve on some of his decision making which would give us a little more.
Also will we be as fortunate with injuries?

I'm going to go with 4th and semifinals of the CC

Wigan
Hull
Saints
Cas
Warrington
Leeds
Huddersfield
Catalan
Widnes
Leigh
Wakefield
Salford

If we have another good season with injuries and kelly goes well then we'll be top 4 but we won a lot of games by narrow margins last year which is unlikely to happen again so we need to improve our attack to make those loseable close games more comfortable wins. I think saints and cas will be better next season and wire and wigan at least as good so top 4 will be a big challenge
