HKR to make grand final, i sincerely doubt it...

At least he's shaking things up a little.

Why not?

They possibly have the best coach in Super League IMO.


"............ underachievement looks like a habit" - that refers to us by the way

Nowhere Near the class of Leeds and Saints though IMO

I prefer sky's prediction Wire 3rd Leedz 2nd Stains 1st .
Something though about the sky prediction- Saints have a weaker squad than last season with a new coach and I can't honestly see them finishing higher than 3rd imo I am sure this will come back and haunt me but that is the way I see it so Leedz 1st,Wire 2nd Stains 3rd

In my mind, 3rd downwards is there for the taking for anybody who can put some results together and sustain it, i'm even thinking 2nd downwards (I'm putting Leeds way out in front), the danger with that is St Helens, every year you write them off, every year they prove you wrong. The likes of us, Wigan, Bradford in recent times just haven't been able to put rtesults together, Catalans made their home a fortress and picked up away wins at the lesser clubs, Hull KR or anybody could easily do that.

I think we could finish 2nd at a canter this year. It's just that defence that will hold us back. As discussed though, cut out the errors keep the completion rate above 80% where possible we will win most games.

Say it quick. Easy.

We will still be lightyears away from 1st and 2nd this year me thinks. If we can keep all players fit throughout the season, then 4th/5th for me.

if we stop this conceding 30 pts a game lark then who knows what thislot could do...i do agree with you our defence is the key

There is no way in hell Bradford will finish 2nd.

One of the best packs in the league for me Bradford, they're boring but very very tough to beat. Bird's a massive signing imo.

No Chance Of Rovers Making the Grand Final they have never played Super League play off Rugby..
Sincerly doubt Bradford will finish 2nd.
Can't disagree with his comment about us though underacheivement becoming a habit..

He'll certainly be getting the website hits with this. Mostly for people to criticise him though

Well we've never made a final, but people are still expecting trophies this year.

Hull K.R. have never even played in the playoffs...We have on a few occasions plus we have a squad full of internationals thats why people expect trophies..
The fact we've never played in a Grand Final is irrelavant..

Bradford have made some quality players and one or two returning that missed big chunks of the season, they will go very well. The last two years i thought warrington could do some damage in the league but this year i don't really see us threatening the top 3 or 4 places and will be fighting around the 6th spot area.

Not too disimiliar to The Times' predictions.

What with the salary cap and such now, it's fine margins SL. Your splitting hairs between maybe 8 clubs. You can't predict injuries, so you can't predict SL. The most injury free sides, will in the main do better.

Hadfield's opinion is no more or less valid than anyone elses. The fact someone deems fit to pay him to offer it is an irrelevance. I'm sure he'd agree with me on that.

Predictions are crushingly dull, fair play to him for having the cajones to offer a slightly different view, even if most people will deem him mentally unstable as a result.

Good on you Dave, you bearded cuddly bear you.

and he drinks in the angel

I agree. You have nothing to lose, as people forget about these come the end of the season, unless KR do well and he will quote himself. He wouldn;t get any prizes for predicting Leeds v Saints in the GF.

If you are going to have to write a prediction, you may as well stick your neck out with one of the predictions, and this is what he has done. KR are no mugs, and whilst I think his prediction is OTT, they could be a surprise package.

Out of interest, how did his predictions fair for 2006/07/08 when compared with actual?

You are a strange individual Padders! If you are such a positive person, why do you have such a negative, closed mind to so many of our players?
