Season Predictions : Thu Nov 17, 2016 2:02 pm  

What's everyone's table predictions for next season then? Hate to say it but I can't look past Wigan for top spot. Unfortunately I think we'll drop down a peg or two. I think Castleford will have a great season. They've recruited well and if they have a better season than last with regards to injuries I'm expecting them to challenge. I'm going with;

1- Wigan
2- Warrington
3- Castleford
4- FC
5- St Helens
6- Leeds
7- Catalans
8- Leigh
9- Wakefield
10- Huddersfield
11- Widnes
12- Salford

I think if we can get ourselves in the top four again, it'll have been another successful year. Leeds, Saints (who were garbage for half the year), Cas and probably Huddersfield will all improve, with the likes of Hull, Wire, Wigan and Cats once again making up the top 8. Leigh may be the surprise package in the top 8, but I can't see Widnes, Wakey or Salford doing anything.

A top four finish and a bit of a defence of the cup would be great. Get overselves 80 mins away from the grand final again and it's who turns up in the day for the semi.

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

Re: Season Predictions : Thu Nov 17, 2016 3:38 pm  

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?!

Re: Season Predictions : Thu Nov 17, 2016 3:50 pm  

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
