Apart from putting us 5th and Cats 6th, I would go with the above at this moment in time.

I don't know which is un-nerving me the most, the fact that we are about to go into yet another season without a quality number seven or the fact that I am mostly in agreement with your post above.

Somehow, concurring with a viewpoint from the other side just doesn't seem right

.

I can't see Catalan finishing so high again and I would take 1 place above Leeds (considering we finished level on points and they went on to win it)!! I just can't see us being consistent enough over the season to challenge Wigan, Saints or Warrington at all. Therefore my hopeful prediciton is:

1. Wigan
2. Saints
3. Warrington
4. Hull
5. Leeds
6. Catalan
7. Bratfud
8. Huddersfield
9. Rovers
10. Wakefield
11. London
12. Castleford
13. Widnes
14. Salford

1. Warrington Wolves
2. St Helens
3. Wigan Warriors
4. Catalan Dragons
5. Leeds Rhinos
6. Hull FC
7. Wakefield Wildcats
8. Huddersfield Giants
9. Bradford Bulls
10. Hull Kingston Rovers
11. Widnes Vikings
12. London Broncos
13. Castleford Tigers
14. Salford City Reds

I'm saving this one.

London bottom? Rovers in the 8, you must be related to Mad Jack McMad.

there's clearly still far too many fans on not only this forum but throughout rl in general that tip the rhinos to finish 4th after the weekly rounds
that won't ever happen imo and i would much rather that you lot or catalan finish 4th if we could finish 5th,although i would prefer to win the gf from 1st again but i'm not too sure that our aging pack could muster such a momentous task and will again pick and choose which games to target

on a side note the next side besides the rhinos that finishes fith and under this present play off format had better come up with the goods as apparently out wigan and warrington way it's the best spot to finish in



all the best to you guys as your club is definitely on the way up again

Putting us 2nd when we're £200k+ under the cap? Don't think so

You think we'll go into 2013 season with what we have now?

Hopefully, unless we get someone of the quality of chase or prince, otherwise I can't see the point

A player doesn't have to be Prince/Chase to improve us and be of better quality then Seymour.

Indeed, however we don't want to jump into a signing that isn't right in the longer term just because we've missed out on other targets. This isn't just about being a bit better for 2013. We need to get the right player

Agreed. I can still see us bringing someone in though. No idea who.

not gonna do a full table but will say that I reckon we will finish in the top 4 and something that we should be realistically aiming for anyway.

better squad then at the start of the year, more strength in depth and a coach with a good year under his belt with a team he has assembled. knows what went wrong at times last year: Salford, Wakefield, Widnes away and Saints at home. when you look at Leeds and Catalans over the season (excluding the play offs) I would say we were just as good as them on our day and could have finished above them and should look to do that next year.

in the play offs, well Wire showed what we lacked ultimately when it was crunch time but it was the first play offs we played well in since 2007.

another good start will hold us in good stead for the season like this year but hopefully we will maintain the consistency and not have to bring in players mid season

At this early stage I am going to go.

Anybody care to revise their predictions.?

That's why I don't do predictions. They have a habit of making you look a right .

erm i tipped fc for 5th, egg on my face

For once sebasteeno is right, some proper dreamers on this board

Some crazy crazy people thinking Rovers would finish as low as 7th.
