As ive never been one to sit on the Fence ,the Slats sometimes hurt

, here are Charlies League finishing Predictions for next season .

1-Fev
2-Fax
3-Batley
4-The Mighty Centurions
5-Keighley
6-Batley
7-Swinton
8-The Seagulls.
9-Dewsbury.
10-Hunslet.
11-York .

I think we are a little light on Players , Swinton will find the LSV to much for them , so Charlies Shilling each way , might go on the Cougars,iknow many will disagree , but this is only what Charlie thinks .

Leigh = 6th

Anything higher is a bonus.

Winners - Halifax

Are Batley allowed to field two teams?



Can't see past Fev but I think you men will be there or thereabouts if you can keep injuries to a minimum. My dark horses are Batley who I think have made some very smart signings.

Featherstone Rovers
Sheffield Eagles
Batley Bulldogs
Leigh Centurions
Halifax
Keighley Cougars
Dewsbury Rams
Swinton Lions
Hunslet Hawks
York City Knights

Fev won't win it this year. Leigh will be in top 2. There's going to be a few surprises . Batley won't finish in top 5

Charlie apologises for the Double Batley entry ,either this Acorn Wine is stronger than i realised or i must change my Medication

, my Batley prediction is therefore 3rd.

Leigh top Fax second and Fev third.

Have you been on the red wine tonight Frank?

A case here of "Wishing and Hoping" cant remember who sang it though?

,Frank im up late tonight , off to the willows in a couple of hours to pick up the Drunken Mrs Caroli , after a Sainsburys Christmas do .

While we're at it, I'll say Fax for the NRC and Workington for Championship 1.

BLACKPOOL ,ah the Memories , Casino

Lifeboat PUB

A drink from Frank B



young Zoe falling asleep in the Pub Toilets

Charlie Jnr singing on the Stage in the Manchester Pub , for all this my prediction has to be return ticket in July for the Leythers , and Championship 1 winners , Haven .

Fev to win the league, NRC and playoffs while just missing out on the CC by golden point.




(But I would say that, wouldn't I

)

Oh, forgot 1......

European champions by winning the inter french thingummiwotsit

Yes ,you would sidnee.

Can't see Fev getting past the group stages in the NRC after all they are away at Keighley and know all Charlie rates them for the coming season.

I hope my predictions are wrong but mine for now is
1st Fev
2nd Fax
3rd Sheffield
4th Leigh
5th Batley
6th Keighley
7th Swinton
8th Dewsbury
9th York
10th Hunslet

Winning a playoff game would be nice should we get there & retaining the NRC should be a fesible goal we could aim for this coming season

Is that on the playstation or Xbox ?

NRC Fev, GF Leigh, Anglo-French cup Fax

Apparently the anglo french cup thing is just a 1 off game between the teams already paired up, and the title of European champions will be awarded to the winner of the game at Fev as those 2 teams won their respective comps!!





Thats a fair way to establish who the champs are, eh!

Northern Rail Cup winners - Leigh
Grand Final winners - whoever turns up on the day

A real spread of quality throughout the league so you could swap a load of those positions. Would be great if we could at least make the Northern Rail final again, and hopefully this time it won't take place amidst a monsoon!

July in Blackpool what do you expect sunshine?

The Merseybeats round about 1964

Make my prediction when the coach in place

4th will do, if it mean FINALLY winning a play off game !!!
