I'm not concerned about anybody. I hope Leeds find a little more consistency in the qualifying rounds but come playoff time, injuries permitting, I think this set of players understand the formula better than most.

So far there have been 29 entries for 2012 which incidentally equals last season's record-breaking field.

Hopefully some of those that have contributed to the thread without submitting an entry will find the time to do so before the season kicks off - not forgetting those from last season still to enter 2012's comp including the 2011 reigning champion.

Do you have a link to last years effort? Checked through but couldn't find it. But the treads did all start to blur into one.

Sure, the 2011 comp thread can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=477434

I have predicted Saints to finish top - the above is more about where Leeds will finish I have predicted 2nd but they could finish 5th if Wigan, Warrington etc get their act together.

Brown won't be sacked no matter what, he's off at end of season anyway.

1. St Helens
2. Warrington
3. Hull FC
4. Wigan
5. Leeds
6. Huddersfield
7. Catalans
8. Hull KR
9. Castleford
10. Bradford
11. Wakefield
12. London
13. Salford
14. Widnes

Tvoc, who was last year's "winner"?

Old Feller, according to TVOC's linked thread above with Keith Swift second.

I will have a go even though i am rubbish at predictions!!
1. SAINTS
2. WARRINGTON
3. LEEDS
4. WIGAN
5. CATALANS
6. HULL FC
7. HUDDERSFIELD
8. HULL KR
9. WAKEFIELD
10. BRADFORD
11. CASTLEFORD
12. SALFORD
13. LONDON
14. WIDNES


Just to let TVOC know Old Feller will probably do his when he returns from his jaunts around Southern California at the end of the month.

1. Warrington
2. St Helens

11. London
12. Salford

Changed this slightly since my prediction a few weeks ago on the Bradford board. The positions from 7th to 10th are almost interchangeable but the top 6 are almost certainties (although maybe not in that exact order).

The only problem with delaying an entry is the danger of duplicating an earlier one which ultimately will be placed higher in any tie-break situation.

I'm sorry to you Rhino fans but the Bradford squad has improved and I have been watching the game for many, many years. Whilst I agree that we will not finish in the top 4 - I believe we will make the Play-Offs. I still think that opposition are enjoying the fact that Bradford have not been in the Play-offs for the last three years as they didn't finish outside the top five for the first 13 years of Super League and in that time they handed out many hammerings to many teams. But Bradford remains one of the biggest clubs in Super League with a large fan base - I'm just hoping back to being what they were - although it might be long process to gain our 5th Super League Title.

For the record I believe Leeds will finish in the top 5 and stand a very good chance of winning the Super League from anywhere in the Play-Offs as Sinfield is an exceptional leader - the loss of Buderus may hurt you however. You will also have a good run in the Challenge Cup as you still have some great players with the likes of Mcguire, Burrows, Hall and Peacock. This season is going to be close and should make for a good competition as even London seem much stronger than last season.

Nice stat and speaking personally you can bet your bottom dollar that's what's happening but it's about time Bradford got themselves back in the game to help keep that red rose lot in check, instead of leaving it all to plucky Leeds.

For the record St Helens have never finished outside the SL Regular Round top 5 for an average finsh of 2.31, Leeds likewise except for SL 1 (1996 - 10th) for an average of 3.44, next it's Wigan at 3.63 with Bradford slipping to 3.94

Nice Big four statistics there.

And Bradford will remain safe in the SL Era ever-presents big four for at least a few more seasons to come.

Ignoring any namechange, ground move type alterations SL has incorporated 22 different teams since it's inception but only 6 of the present group have been in there from the start.

After St Helens, Leeds, Wigan and Bradford it's Warrington with an average finish of 6.56 and London on 8 completing the set.

No props to start season, get on a losing roll and not good enough to recover.

I'm sure they'll recover to finish higher than 9th. Are the props injuries long term?

i called for the "big hitters" of ss.com to join in this prediction competition this year in my opening post
several of these big hitters have duly entered their predictions,and i respect them for doing so as we are all there to be shot at,but it's all in the name of fun at the end of the day
i have noticed whilst reading todays rl express that the one and only garry schofield has entered his predictions for the 2012 sl seasons finishing positions,which are

1-warrington
2-st helens
3-leeds
4-wigan
5-catalans
6-huddersfield
7-hull
8-hull kr
9-castleford
10-salford
11-london
12-bradford
13-wakefield
14-widnes

now that is a "big hitter" and one who is now entered into our comp
