Dave Hadfield of the Independent has the Bulls to finish second, which mirrors William Hill. Sportinglife.com predicts a third place finish. Most of the experts have Leeds and Saints in the top 3 with us. Looks like being a good season, I just hope we can be a real challenger, it has been a while since we imposed ourselves on teams.

Consistency, improved defence, luck, determination and ruthlessness will improve our chances.

Other than the three clubs I have mentioned I think Catalans and Wigan will continue to improve. I still think Celtic will finish last and I think Wakefield will struggle. Hull FC will be much improved on last year.

If you get, & keep, Bird I can't see why second should be beyond you. If Bird ends up doing bird, then fourth. Otherwise it's adios McBanana.

macca wunt b sacked this year. pete hood has a lot f faith in what hes doin

I think you missed a letter out. There's an S in lot.

I expect us to finish top and do the double over Leeds.

That is serious too.

...then lose to Saints in the Final. Just like the old days!!

I expect the bulls to seriously threaten leeds and saints stranglehold on the top 2.

McBanana might be given the bird if we don't finish in top 5. No doubt the club parrots will have something to say about that, obviously losing Feather and Peacock has weakened us. If Deacon gets injured again seriously I reckon we may be in for Finch as his replacement who could work well with Bird, and possibly even perform better than Dave Heron during his stint with us, as long as he doesn't eat too much fried chicken like Slolomona or do as much foul play like Tez.

Cock.

So Hull KR are going to come 4th and make the GF, presumably winning at either Knowsley Road or Odsal for the first time since the 1980s IIRC? Interesting...

Meanwhile Sinfield hopes to [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2009/feb/02/super-league-new-season-leeds-rhinosemulate his betters[/url.

could be a bit of a worry if solo or worrincy cop a ban and miss KR game. would prefer them to miss quins if any

According to Andy Wilson in the Guardian Leeds aim to emulate Saints who in 2006 became the only team since the beginning of Super league to win the Grand Final and Challenge Cup in the same year.

Did I dream 2003 then?

Enough journo bashing on this site at the moment, so there's a bit of balance.

Sorry didn't read that correctly



Still wrong though.

Missed that. Saints '96 didn't even win the Premiership.

Saints are becoming a spent force now and I reckon we should get competitive on them this season

We have strengthend but they have only weakened



Still think Wire will be a threat but not if Jimmy stays in charge

depends what saints will be like this season with a few new faces but i am more confident for us than i was last year

think we will finish in top 3 and get to both finals this year

Ooh just remind me again will you

Any Bulls fans that fancies a chuckle should take a look at [url=http://www.redvee.net/forums/showthread.php?t=11336this thread[/url, and its frantic u-turning by Saints fans includng one who says they always accepted Bradford were the better team in 1999...
