Have we had predictions yet?
And what would you say is a resonable season?

I recon 5th or 6th if not to many injuries
Not expecting any silverware, but think we will be close.

I think id have the league looking like this:

1st - Saints
2nd - Wigan
3rd - Huddersfield
4th - Leeds
5th - Hull
6th - Salford
7th - Wire
8th - Catalans
9th - Rovers
10th - Cas
11th - Leigh
12th - Wakey

I think Saints are too strong to be topped again, Wigan will just edge the Giants for 2nd. To be honest, teams from 4th down to 10th are a complete lottery, any can finish between those 7 places in my opinion. I am not convinced by Cas, i think their recruitment has been quite 'meh'. I also see Catalans and Wire having rather disappointing seasons. Salford scrape the play offs as long as they keep players injury free. Wakey will struggle, however they always seem to do just enough, so who knows.

As for us, if we have a clean bill of health and TS can prevent our annual mid season collapse then I think we are in good shape for 5th.

1. Wigan
2. Saints
3. Huddersfield
4. Wire
5. Hull
6. Rovers
7. Leeds
8. Catalans
9. Salford
10. Cas
11. Wakey
12. Leigh

As said above I think 4-10 is a real lottery depending on injuries/ Suspensions. I think Wire could go well, no idea why just a feeling, not convinced by Leeds, Rovers will surprise a few (unfortunately). Really liking the look of wigan this year. Leigh could struggle to adapt to week to week super league especially if/when injuries bite or if Lam or Ipape are out long term. Wakey have some quality if they can stay fit they'll avoid the drop.

As they say opinions are like ar*eholes we've all got one.

1. Saints
2. Wigan
3. Hull FC
4. Huddersfield
5. Warrington
6. Leeds
7. Hull kr
8. Catalan (think McNamara could be first coach to get sacked if Catalan get off to a bad start)
9. Salford
10. Castleford
11. Leigh
12. Wakey

From 9th to top 4 with a lower salary spend. OK then.

In the words of Paul Gascoigne, I never make predictions and I never will.

Re: Have we had predictions yet? : Fri Feb 10, 2023 7:34 pm  

Wigan
Saints
Hudds
Leeds
Catalans
Wire
Hull
Salford
Rovers
Cas
Leigh
Wakey

Confident on the top 3 and bottom 3. Everywhere else is too difficult to split we're in that middle group of clubs where anything could happen.

Heart says 4/5 head says 7th.

Wigan to win the GF.
Hudds to go one better this season and win the cup. Watson will need to win something soon.

Wigan
Saints
Hudds
Catalans
Hull
Warrington
Cas
Leeds
Rovers
Salford
Leigh
Wakey

I think Wigan will pip St’s this year but it’ll be close. Then I think 3 to 10 could be any of 8 teams think we will surprise a few and think Leeds may not do so well.
Then just a straight shoot out between Wakey and Leigh at the bottom.

Re: Have we had predictions yet? : Sat Feb 11, 2023 3:07 pm  

1 Saints
2 Wigan
3 Huddersfield
4 Leeds
5 Salford
6 Castleford
7 Hull KR
8 Catalans
9 Warrington
10 Hull FC
11 Leigh
12 Wakefield.

Saints and Wigan to battle it out but Huddersfield could win the league leaders shield IMO, 4th down to 10th like most seasons is a bit of a free for all really, Catalans and Wire under a lot if pressure, probably fair to say that about FC too.
Wakey and Leigh battling the wooden spoon.

It's probably fair to say that teams that handle injuries the best will do well (obviously)

My only prediction is that Leigh will go fairly decent until uncle Derek does his usual of not paying players & threatening to leave the club, then comes relegation.
