| I've voted for top 8, I think we'll make the playoffs this year but I'm not sure we'll break the top 4. Top 8 a must, top 6 would be nice.

| I think we have the potential to finish anywhere between 4th and 10th. I would suggest that the top 3 and bottom 3 are easier to predict.
If the side gels, stays clear of injury, gets a bit of luck and young players really come on then 4th is realistic. However if for some reason we lose Orford and we're as inconsistent as last year then 9th or 10th is realistic.
I would say we're probably looking at 6th or 7th. We have some good players but are lacking a line breaking forward and a few strike players in the backs.

| i'm going for a top 8 finish for the bulls,but a final position of 7th will be their highest finish imo,the competition is so close from 3 to 11,and a finish outside the play offs cannot again be ruled out

| I think this year we have more reason to be optimistic.
Some of our shakey performers, Deacon and Newton, given their great service to the Bulls did under perform last year, injuries to key performers such as Morrison didnt help. Finally some say Sam's heart wasn't in it last year. However other under performers such as Platt really showed some worth and Nero showed his best form yet, thats just last years team.
Now we have some new players keen to make a name for themselves such as Reardon and Sculthorpe. Kearney whos only 25 and has some top attributes if he stays fit. Hall a good solid player who gives good go forward. Heath a good solid hooker who should bring a good combination with Godwin and finally Orford, which the signing speaks for itself.
Im confident this year, come on you Bulls!

| I think top 8 for a side that have 4 players who played together in the NRL coming over and playing in key positions.
gelling should happen a bit quicker than last year.

| No idea myself, but interesting that Bulls are getting higher placed on the Southstander predictions thread than the equivalent on the VT.

I think if Tomkins develops a bit more, with help from Deacs and if Maguire can get Piggy and Paleaasina fit, they could be a force next season. I have a sneaky feeling that they will come good at the right time.

If they can, and I expect Morrison over Newton to be better, then you have recruited two players of proven talents.
Not so sure that Newton will be d to put the hard yards in but Morisson will.

Would you be happier doing that than winning the grand final? i know i would as no one has ever done it in sl it would be unlikely to ever happen again.

| It's really hard to predict, since I honestly believe that standards have levelled out in the last couple of years (some might say they've levelled downwards, but that's another topic!)
Our late season run proved that there isn't a lot to choose between teams in the top 4 and teams at the bottom end (which was us at the time), and I think we are going to be quite a bit stronger squad-wise this year.
I think that Leeds will probably finish top in the regular rounds and Saints should have enough for 2nd, even though they are starting to slide a bit. But there's not a lot to choose between the next seven or eight teams, and we are most definitely in that bunch. I suspect that Hull KR and Huddersfield might find it harder to sustain their Top 4 push than it was to get to that point last season, whilst there's no particular reason to think that the likes of Catalans, Quins, Wakefield etc are going to be massively better than us
So, I'm pretty optimistic. If the squad can gel and we steer reasonably clear of injuries, I honestly think 3rd or 4th is achievable - and I'd be seriously gutted if we aren't Top 6.

| Go on then, here's my very early stab in the dark;
1. Leeds
.............................
2. Warrington
3. Saints
4. Wigan
.............................
5. Huddersfield
6. Bradford
7. Wakefield
8. Castleford
9. Hull KR
10. Hull FC
.............................
11. Catalan
12. Quins
13. Salford
14. Crusaders
I reckon the league will be split into 4 distinct groups, with the teams above finishing in those groups, but within those 4 groups I think its far too close to call and a team could end up anywhere in their group (apart from Leeds obviously ). So I reckon we could easily be anywhere from 5th to 10th.
I can't see anyone but Leeds finishing top, a settled champion side with quality throughout, and I'd be surprised if it wasn't Saints/Wire/Wigan in some order to make up the top 4 - saints being slightly worse than last seaosn but still too good for most teams most of the time, Warrington to make huge strides froward and I just have a gut feeling that Wigan will be much better than last year and will reach one of the finals this year.
In our middle group at this stage you could argue for any order of those teams I reckon, as I think they will all be able to beat each other on any given day, should be too good for the bottom 4 but will struggle to perform consistantly, especially against the top 4. Us and Hull FC to be not as bad as last year, Hud and Hull KR will still be good but find it harder to maintain last seasons efforts.
Quins and Salford will be competive in some games but will not be consistant and will struggle overall, Catalan I think will be worse than last year with the loss of Bird, and the crusaders are a cert for the wooden spoon again IMHO.
And one thing I am certain of, a couple of teams will be completely different to everyones expectations and make my predictions V wrong....as usual
