Right lads.

Bet has been made, lets leave it at that eh?

I've hurt me wrist this morning and I cant be bovved deleting huge swathes of threads today.

Too busy to plait fog today anyway, you'll be pleased to hear.

Ive seen.

When it's time for the 2017 predictions thread, everyone should make a prediction followed by a caveat.

An example of a prediction followed by a caveat would be something like...

[uPrediction[/u: Leeds will finish in the Top 4.
[uCaveat[/u: My very optimistic prediction for this year

The above covers both bases of Top 4 and finishing outside the Top 4, AKA a Win Win, or I was right, I was right.

Don't dare ask how.

Something like....

Prediction - Leeds won't make the top 4 and will be lucky to avoid being in the middle 8's because the spine of the team is rubbish.

Caveat - But they may also make the top 4 if standards drop to a new low in SL.

I've made my prediction for 2017.

Top 4.

I've even put a bet on it.

Have you made a firm prediction or do we have a multitude of posts on various topics making lots of different predictions based on the weather, other clubs standards or terrorist bombings in New York?

Why not take this opportunity to make your final prediction for 2017? It'd be a first go on, you know you really want to....



.

3rd bottom in NRL would still be very competitive in SL and be pushing for a top 4 place.
Happy with the replacement, young player who will either stick around for a couple of years to make his name and return to NRL as a star (bit like Jamie Lyon did at Saints) or a player who enjoys the challenge of Superleague and stays for many years (bit like Scott Donald did for us). Either way its win win for the Rhinos.
As for the weak willed Segeyaro, who signed a 2 year contract and then whelched out of it, then good riddance. If his heart isn't into playing for us then off home (oh he has!!)
Good luck to Matt Parcell lets hope he is what we are searching for (a top 4 finish for me)

An interesting assertion on your part but an erroneous one because I've yet to make a prediction for 2017 and I've certainly not entered into any bets attached to any caveats either.

Meh! Another double/treble winning year coming into view for the mighty Rhinos. Happy Festive Season one and all. Big issue for me...will I come top of the prediction league at the end of the regular season just like last year?

Cheers for the welcome bill.
To all

Having been a viewer on this site for a fair number of years but never. Posted I have made the following observations.
It's full of grammar and spelling police not interested at all in the debates about our beloved rhinos surely the. Reason we are supposed to be on the forum,these people only wait like vultures to denounce and are idiots imho.

Posters who have agendas against others who only want to remind them about what they have posted before it's like my dads bigger than your dad you predicted this etc these are the poster snipers probably never played rugby or visited headingley.

Keyboard warriors posting comments they would definitely not have the balls to say to the others faces.


Come on people we can all have opinions try be objective don't be blinkered this includes the mods.

I think the rebuilding is going to take quite a long time ,Mags and Burrow will be leaving next year if not this .Then one or two more will be following them. After last season I will be satisfied makng the eight

judging by today's shambles it might take longer

whilst he doesn't need to go he bloody certainly needs to up his game. buying crappy second rate players won't help him.
buy second rate players you get a second rate team

the rebuild of our squad and more importantly getting some top quality players in surely has to be a priority for 2018

Blimey.

Can't wait for your predictions thread in 2017

i'm glad that you are treating the 2017 predictions thread so seriously william

I've already established some caveat-free parameters which go beyond the official starting point of [i'somewhere between 1st and 12th'[/i

Gary, perhaps you could have mentioned it was just a ' training session' and saved a lot of people their hard earned £18. i cottoned on to this scam a few year ago and go cycling or walking instead on Boxing Day now.

It wasn't many years ago they tried to have two reserve games at full price!!

The game was £5 cheaper than a normal game, and the squad was announced last week.

The game has been the same level of intensity for many years, if you fork out every year expecting something different them you only have yourself to blame if you're unhappy

What patronising BS.
It's far from unreasonable to expect something that resembles an organised RL Team or that those taking part have a clue & actually give a flying one especially after last years farce.
Not one game in the corresponding past fixtures has resembled the low of todays nor has it ever been flippently dismissed as an opposed training run by the Coach.

I didn't have a problem with Macs press conference. I think people are looking for any opportunity to stick the boot in. This has been the theme from day one of his tenure.

But personally I would have thought that the club would have targeted this game as a statement of intent moving forward after last season. I would have had everyone available playing (Ward included). Obviously the club don't see it like that.

Hope yer all good down under mate!
Wrt Mc.D did you see his pre-match PC?
He basically said last years Boxing Day game "set the tone" for a poor year & that this year although it would still be a gauge for where we're at he was looking foreard to it as were the team more than hinting they wanted to lay a firm marker down early.
What was actually "served up" was a big turd sarnie no mayo then dismissed as a public training session so imo he deserves all the stick he gets wrt today & last year.
