1. Leeds - Can't really see anyone beating them in the regular season, we've strengthened further whereas Saints are similar to last year.
2. Warrington - I think they have the greatest chance of breaking up the Leeds Saints dominance. Myler will be key.
3. St Helens - Long Gilmour and Cayless replaced with Soliola Moore and Fozzard, Eastmond will have to have a big year if they're going to challenge.
4. Wigan - Will be there abouts but won't win anything I don't think.
5. Catalans - Johnson and Sa are good signings, but I think they need Bird to really have a chance of silverware. He showed in the play offs that he was a quality player.
6. Bradford - Despite losing Burgess, I think if the Orford rumours are true they will have a good side next year and improve on a poor 2009.
7. Hull FC - They've brought in some quality and I think this year they'll make in the eight.
8. Huddersfield - It will be difficult to repeat the brilliance of last year but they'll scrape the eight.
9. Hull KR - Again a great season last year and will be a difficult to beat but apart from Dobson I don't see where the quality is going to come from.
10. Castleford - Not really much difference in the side but other teams have improved whereas they haven't
11. Wakefield - It's a very different team this year and they've replaced some dead wood with quality but I can't see them making the eight.
12. Harlequins - Very average team by the looks of things.
13. Celtic - Hoping for a better season for them this year but can't see them doing better than 13th.
14. Salford - They've lost most of their good players and replaced them with not much really.

WCC - Melbourne by 10.
Challenge Cup - Leeds Bradford final.. Leeds by 14
GF - Leeds Warrington - Leeds by 8

If we managed to finish fifth with 'deadwood' in our squad, byreplacing them with 'quality' we should be capable of a similar or better finish.

I think Catalans will finish above Warrington, Wigan and possibly Saints with their forward pack.

1. Leeds

for me

Why do people always put Hull and Wire so high up the table and put like of Wakie and Cas so low i have no doubt we can beat both these teams.

1. Leeds rhinos- cant see anyone stopping them again next year, however i do predict the gap will be closer.
2. Catalan Dragons- Ive got a feeling, especially after the signing of dallas johnson that they will be the team to watch next season look like they have real potential.
3. St Helens- saints will be a force still but they need a big year from eastmond, soliola will be key.
4. Wigan Warriors- i expect a good season from us next year, a new coaches influence will definately have an effect and i can see our defense being extremely tight. wigan also have the same squad so weve got a bit of continuity there.
5. Warrington Wolves- Wire need to finish in the top 6 this year, with the players they have signed the spotlight will be on them. however i still think they will have the tendancy to turn in a shocking performance and cant see them getting over that culture
6. Bradford bulls- some good signings around bradford for next year, if they get orford they could finish higher, however i dont think mcnamara is the man to get the best out of that team.
7. Hull Fc- hull look to have signed some good players for next year, if they can keep long and shrek fit they will be in the top 8 come the end of the season.
8. Huddersfield- dont see them improving on last season, they will just get in the 8 in my opinion. other teams around them seem to be making more significant signings and moves.
9. hull kr- going to say the same about kr to be honest; they have some talent but again cant see them doing much next year.
10. castleford- cas will have another decent season, and i am looking forward to seeing how some of the players, such as owen and westerman develop, they could be pushing for england places next year.
11. wakefield- cant see them hitting the heights of last year; however i hope they do because i like the club. be difficult for them with the rumours of the problems surrounding the club with debts.
12. crusaders rl- i think the noble factor alone could see the welsh pushing upwards next year, if he can recruit some real solid grafters i can see them finishing further up.
13. harlequins- think quins are going to have a quiet season next year. they really need to improve on the finish to last season however i cant see how they are going to do it.
14. salford- they will miss myler, however the likes of ratchford can really step up now, they have some quality youth coming through at salford but i cant see them getting off the bottom.

world club challenge:- melbourne to comfortably win, they have a quality team there and i cant see leeds being able to live with them.
challenge cup- wigan- maguire will lead us to a final and i think a trophy next year.
super league- catalan dragons there pack is going to be huge and they are constantly on the up- walters should know them better in the second season anyway

Think that's a bit harsh tbh...

Leeds - Eastwood is a good signing, he gives them more beef in the pack and once again they're the team to beat.

Saints - Younger side. Soliola is a quality signing and will bash people about. Graham will have more support in Fozzard and Eastmond will get a settled run in the side. I think he'll have a big, big season on the back of a good Tri Nations. Big pack, but lack of pace in the backs.

Wigan - New coach should bring more consistency. I think they'll be a fitter and more organised side next year.

Wire - Could take a little time for the new boys to settle, but once they gel they'll be a tough team.

Catalans - Great additions to the squad and will be a threat.

Hudds - Added some quality to their side and will be strong once again.

Hull KR - Can't see them challenging for honours, but they'll make the 8.

Hull - Stronger side, but much depends on injuries. Long is past his best, but he'll bring experience and organisation to the Hull side.

Bradford - Made a couple of good additions, but I question the coach and the loss of Burgess will be difficult to overcome.

Wakefield - Difficult to beat under Kear, but lack quality.

Castleford - Good, young, exciting side to watch, but it'll be hard for them to make the 8. They may just make 8th.

Salford - Similar to last year. Can't see them challenging.

Harlequins - Might start well, but always seem to fade.

Celtic - Noble has a tough job and needs to make signings, otherwise they'll finish bottom.

Keep taking the tablets mate, Rovers will once again finish above our poor relations from west of the river.

I'll have a grand on with you that we won't finish in the bottom 2.

not making any predictions, yet, but going on teams as they look now

bradford- starting to look a decent side again,get orford in and they could be top 5, backs maybe their weak link

hull fc-we've made some good signings and offloaded dead wood, if the team gels quickly we should make the 8

hudds-signing of gilmour is great buisness, drew re-signing

leeds-always lookstrong even when they don't sign many, eastwood will add to that

teams that look weaker
hull kr, saints, salford

Hudds look to have a stronger team next year so i cant see them finnishing out of the top 5.

1.Leeds
2.St Helens
3.Bradford
4.Hull KR
5.Warrington
6.Wigan

10.Castleford
11.Wakefield
12.Harlequins
13.Salford
14Celtic

I don't think Celtic will finish anywhere else once again but i think they'll win more this season. Leeds have improved their squad again and with Eastwood and Lauitiiti in the team we won't be stopped in Super League. Bradford will be much improved now they have Orford in their team they will pose a greater threat. Overall I believe the standings will shape up similar to the final standings of last year.

Super League- Leeds
