We might have imported some great players in from the NRL and are developing our youngsters really effectively but it will take a couple more years for our youngsters to reach their full potential so I would give Hull a little improvement and two massive crossed fingers at actually doing something in the players but ultimately we will fall just short again. Every year I say that Warrington are finally going to win the league but I am not saying it again... I don't think, although they will be round about there.

I don't see the top 8 teams changing this year, I don't think any team that finished outside the 8 have recruited well enough to remove one of the teams that finished 8th. I just hope Hull can get 2/3 more wins than last year and at least have a chance of finishing in the top 4 after the changes.

Wigan, Leeds and Saints will be top 3, with Warrington, Hull, Catalans, Hudds and Cas fighting for the 4th spot.

That Radford is still in charge is the reason why I placed Hull outside the Top 8. Hull always seem to try add a few good recruits every year and spend money on them but go for the cheap option in the coaching staff. Doesn't strike me as a coach who'll get them pushing for top 4.....at best squeezing into the top 8.

*likewise for Catalans. As good as Todd Carney is I don't think the Catalans coach is good enough to get them into the top 4.

Finished 7th before the split last season, pack has improved this season, I'd be happy if we get 4th to 6th


We had close results last season being on the wrong side of them, 3 more wins would have seen us top 4, losses teams in the bottom 4 didn't help either

These predictions always make me laugh. In the last six seasons Huddersfield have finished the regular season in 3,3,1,7,4 and 5th.
Yet every year people on here have them finishing in the bottom half of the table and manage to place Hull as top 4 contenders.
Losing Ferres is a blow but he hardly played last season and it will be almost certain they will look to replace him and on top of this two top class overseas players have been brought in.

Agreed. Same goes for people writing Cas off.

I'd be happy to take bets on Hull finishing above either the Giants or Cas.

Warrington, Catalans, and Hull. What do those three have in common, eh?
