Salford will have a decent 17 but little back up. Hasting/Lui is as good as anything In SL. Don't know how Kockrash writing off his liabilities will help them? Have they got any spending power at all? Cas, Wakey Leeds Hudds Cats and ourselves could be anything really.?

Thats my thoughts on salford if hastings is injured no back up.Koukash funded the hastings arrival apparently,but only so much he is willing to do with no supporters.

Yeah pretty much agree with that. In mid-table particularly, a win or two more or less can make a big difference in terms of position. My hope is that is where we are, rather than bottom 3 or 4 again.

With a bigger pack ourselves, and the reduction in interchanges maybe working against those that rely heavily on bullyball I think we’ll have a chance of a result in more games than this season just gone - which was always going to be tough after promotion. 7th would be great, I reckon 5th would be almost miraculous - but i’m glad the players are willing to say it. Waiting diffidently for success doesn’t work.

Looking at the whole team when everyone fit, the competition for places is as good as it’s ever been, even our team that reached 4th all them years ago couldn’t match our strength in depth now.
Granted that first 17 was as excellent.
When have we ever been able to boast 4 excellent centres, four or five good second row forwards, a bullying type pack and 4 very good playmakers all in the same squad?
I think this year will be a sit up and take notice type year for alot of pundits. And I think we will fly under the radar a bit. Here’s hoping, but..........injuries will be the telling factor, we are due a break.
I’m optimistic, roll on next year,

I havn,t got a chuffing clue!

1. Hull FC
2. Warrington
3. St Helens
4. Wakefield
5. Catalans
6. Wigan
7. Wakefield
8. Leeds
9. Huddersfield
10. Salford
11. London
12. hull kr

I'm sure Wakefield will be proud of finishing 4th and 7th.. Nice predictions

HKR above Wakefield, I'd love to know the logic? Very Les Dawson prediction imho but we shall see.

Why not? 2 half decent season does not Melbourne Storm you make

I'll send the samaritans round.

The buffoon sheldon thinks you will finish 4th and 7th,and castleford not bothering this year.I think who he supports says it all.

I have no problem with fans of any clubs posting their probable finishing table. It's all opinions and when you look at the pundits and bookies HKR are likely to be bottom 4. I feel we ended the season with bit of momentum and showed a lot of good rugby in amongst a few horror shows also accounting for maybe the worst injury list in the league. If we are going to progress Wakey Hudds Cats FC, maybe even Cas we have to knock off. Leeds and Wigan have capacity to be great or pony? So Saints and Warry aside I say its hard to predict? Still a player or 2 to be signed so why not aim for 5th?

I think huddersfield will be right among it,simon woolford very shrewd as a player and has made some excellent signings,i may have underestimated them in my league table.

A few shudds players still in recovery and not sure what sort of preseason they will get.
