Rhinoms-have to agree. If you look at strongest sides compared to last year, Wigan are:

2012:

Tomkins, Charnley, Goulding, Carmont, Richards, Finch, Leuluai, Mossop, McIlorum, Lima, Hansen, Hock, O'Loughlin

R: Smith, Lauaki, Prescott, Farrell

2013:

Tomkins S, Charnley, Goulding, Thornley, Richards, Green, Smith, Mossop, McIlorum, Taylor, Hansen, Lauaki, O'Loughlin

R: Tomkins L, Prescott, Flower, Farrell

7 changes in the best X7 to last year, and have lost 5 of their big-hitters, with only one (Lima) being replaced with anywhere near the same quality.

Top three will be Wire, Leeds & Saints, with Wigan fighting it out with Hull FC & Catalans for the dreaded 4th spot.

Thanks tvoc much appreciated, I will now mull over some of my spectacular failed predictions.

Whoop! Go me!



Oh.

I'm of the same "calibre" as Brian Noble, now trying to figure out who i'm more disappointed to be on the same rank as.....Eve or Schofield. Damn trying to throw in that risky curveball of Wakey, knew that one could come back to haunt me.

And Nantwich 3rd, perhaps he was right all along and we should fill the team with 12 year olds.

Pleased with a play off place after just missing out on the weekly predictions

Pfft. Fat Boy is merely the League Leaders winner. I'm in the coveted 5th position for the playoffs.
