| Predict the SL and Champs standings and at the end of the season we'll see who was closest. Just a bit of fun.
SL:
1. Wigan
2. St Helens
3. Warrington
4. Leeds
5. Huddersfield
6. Salford
7. Hull FC
8. Catalans
9. Hull KR
10. Bradford
11. Widnes
12. Wakefield
13. Castleford
14. London
GF winners: Wigan
CC winners: St Helens
Championship:
1. Featherstone
2. Sheffield
3. Leigh
4. Halifax
5. Batley
6. Dewsbury
7. North Wales
8. Doncaster
9. Workington
10. Whitehaven
11. Keighley
12. Barrow
13. Rochdale
14. Swinton
GF winners: Sheffield
Tough call between ourselves and Leigh for second spot, but if we keep relatively injury free think we might just sneak it.

| The Bookies expect the Super League Title race to be close with 5 teams quoted from 10/3 to 7/1 Not sure how Wigan will react to losing Sam Tomkins and cant see Huddersfield repeating last years league winners trophy St Helens and Leeds should improve and dont discount Warrington they should again be contenders and Salford will improve with the owner spending lots of money. At the bottom and remember two go down this season London will find it tough with lots of changes in the close season and Wakefield also look to have a few problems
1) Warrington
2)Wigan
3) St Helens
4) Leeds
5)Huddersfield
6)Salford
7)Catalan
Hull
9) Hull KR
10) Widnes
11) Bradford
12) Castleford
13) Wakeford
14) London
GF St Helens
CC Warrington
Championship
Featherstone should win a 5th league leaders shield in a row Leigh should improve but they have a horrid playoff record Unfortunately history suggests that it will be very tough for Sheffield to win a third grand final in a row it has only happened once (Leeds) since 1984 in the top flight divisions in England and Australia (and never in the 2nd division but remember Grand Final winners used to get promoted)
1) Featherstone
2) Leigh
3) Sheffield
4) Batley
5) Halifax
6) Doncaster
7) North West Wales
Dewsbury
9) Whitehaven
10) Workington
11) Barrow
12) Swinton
13) Keighley
14) Rochdale
GF Featherstone

6. Huddersfield .
7.Catalans .
8.Hull .
9. Hull KR .
10.Castleford .
11.Wakefield .
12.Bradford .

Grand Final Wigan v Saints , winners Wigan .
As for our League .
1.Fev .

Our Grand Final will be Fev v Sheffield , my head ruling my heart here , and I think the League placings are more important this year not the GF , I know you Seagulls think Charlie is a terrible Tipster and you are probably right , but that is what I think .Bring on the Owlerton Game . .

Happen they will be - but you talk as though no-one bothered about being top of the league last year - or will bother about winning the GF this year.

Griff you know as well as do , last season finishing Top wasn't that important , it was all about your run in the Play-offs , ours at Leigh being terrible as usual .However this coming year the Funding being so important , it is imperative to finish in the Top 2 , the teams that don't will find themselves at a big disadvantage , at least £300,000 ,and get less depending on your League position .
We at Leigh haven't experienced a GF Win , or even a GF appearance for a few years , but you Eagles have , and will know the money rewards at stake , im sure they are NOTHING like the reported £550.000 ,on offer for finishing in the Top 2 ,ask your own Tubbs what he would prefer finishing in the Top 2 , or a GF win , Charlie knows the answer .

Charlie - the players try to win every game. They'll go for the league and, once that's over, they'll go for the Grand Final. There'll be no "I'd rather win this than that" at this stage of the season.

Griff ,I know all the Players go out to win every game , if they didn't it would be pointless taking the field , my point is SOME games will be more important this season , im sure you agree the League Positioning comes first ?If you finish in the Top 2 you receive around £550,000, and fractions less as you finish further down the League , what do you get for Winning the GF ?Around £50,000 ?Give me a Top 2 Finish anyday , then worry about the Play-offs after .Tubbs knows and so does Charlie .

Well, hold your horses, Charlie. There's a couple of meetings to go before it's all confirmed.
I take your point - but in practice it means nothing. You're not going to deliberately throw your GF series games to give you a better chance of winning the league, are you ?

Definatley not Griff , but as the GF play -offs come after the League games your priorities are the League , as for the Meetings , I may be a bit ahead , but I thought it had all been agreed , in this weeks League Express , it even states the Prize money for where you finish , and how much you get . .Surely the RFL HAVE NOT MADE THAT UP ?

| If the prize money is based on were you finish then they should scrap the play-offs as they have no relevance unlike last year were the grand final winners got more mney the League winners.

They've published their proposals, not their decision.
