This would be my prediction.

1 St helens
2 Warrington
3 Leeds
4 Wigan
5 Huddersfield
6 Castleford
7 Hull KR
8 Catalans
9 Wakefield
10 Hull
11 Salford
12 London.

Well you will be wrong

Can you do any better??

id predict catalan will be stronger than your 8th place.... london will do well not to finish bottom thats for sure

Catalans was one I couldnt make my mind up about,could be a very even league wigan and leeds have made good signings,but as always injuries will play a big part.Salfords run on team looks ok but a couple of injuries and the back up looks poor,which is why I put them so low,as with you,when ur back ups had 2 play you kept losing,we had the same 2016.All very interesting.!

It wasn't so much because of the players that came in weren't good enough it was the fact we had far too many of the first 17 out for lengthy periods and most around the same time plus the loss of Watts. That all told in the end with the number of players that got game time probably the highest at the club in SL era. In a salary capped sport thats what can happen when the bulk of your first choice squad are all out for a long period.

One or two injuries to key players for short periods you can cover but not 6-8 for a good chunk of the season.

Think we will be in and around the top 6, expect Cats to go well unsure on Leeds and Wigan.

hull fc 4/5 kr 10th cant see leeds in 3rd, hudds bottom4 cats 5/6,

1 Warrington
2 St Helens

Warrington
Castleford
St. Helens
Catalan
Wigan
Leeds
Hull
Huddersfield
Wakefield
Rovers
Salford
London

Wire
Wigan
Saints
Cas
Wakey
Leeds
Hull
Cats
Hudds
Rovers
Salford
London

Think the addition of Blake Austin will have Wires right up there this season.
We might have to wait until 2020 and the signing of Widdop, amongst others, to feed at the top table.

6th to 10th depending on how badly hit by injuries we, and everyone else, are

Forwards simply not good enough IMO

1 Warrington
2 St Helens
3 Castleford
4 Leeds
5 Wigan
6 Catalan
7 Hull
8 Wakefield
9 Huddersfield
10 Hull KR
11 Salford
12 London

Rovers where rubbish last year sign some average players and they think going to be top 5

Got the Wizard haven't they?

While you lot where Fantastic ( especially the last 11 games ) and sign No one

Yes, but the majority of us are anticipating a disappointing season. See the difference?

Here's mine. I think 6th to 9th are a bit of a lottery. I don't think we've signed anyone that improves our team but I don't believe we're a bad team when fit. For Rovers, Cutherbertson is a great signing whereas Linnet is a bog standard plodder. Never really been sold on Hauraki either. Drinkwater should offer them the most improvement. I think Hudds are still in decline and losing Brough and Ikahihifo will hurt them badly.

Cutherbertson? And Linnet aint no plodder. Can only agree on your top two choise, think 3rd to 8th is anyones

Up to losing Kelly and Sneyd we was 5th so not that worried. We could have done with one signing but unfortunately not happened.

The problem for Hull is there are a number of players who are coming back from injury and until they start playing we will have no idea if there are are any permanent or long term effects that are going to hamper their performance: Kelly, Sneyd, Bowden, Mini, Manu, Green, Talanoa, Carlos and Griffin either haven't come back yet or were not up to speed when they did. If most of them are OK then the team should be competitive. The other big if is how well Matongo, Bienik, Litten and Lane in particular progress. I'm not bursting with confidence but I'm hopeful.

Meanwhile we have the comedy from the unwelcome dobbins intruders (where have they been the last 2 years?) somehow thinking that a side that avoided the MPG on points difference thanks to a Widnes side that was trying to lose is now top 4 material. Fat Mose is going to be a real force with interchanges down to 8 and Fanny McGuire and Lunt booking 2 of them for their early injury exits.

Haha, I knew it was Garbutt - I really should read before I click "submit".

I think it's clear in my post that I have quite a balanced view. I did compliment 2 of your signings in it. I have seen Linnet approximately 8 times, and unless he's completely transformed as a player at the age of 29 - then yes, he is a plodder. A plodder that couldn't even find a reduced NRL contract. Sadly I think he'd fit right in with our recruitment this season!

I'd love to agree with your "3rd to 8th is anyones" but I just can't see Wigan not hitting top 4. Picking Leeds 3rd is a bit of a wildcard, but I think their recruitment has been pretty impressive.

Whether we are welcome or unwelcome that's irrelevant really considering it's a public forum. Most KR fans on here have regularly contributed to conversations, some on the wind up as well. It's only reciprocated on our board really, nature of the beast I guess.

Mose is anything but fat now, and I actually think he has lost that much weight it impacts his effectivness. One good game in 5 should be better then that, what does happen though is defensives put all their effort into stopping him due to size/reputation it creates a bit of extra space on the outskirts of the ruck which we had quinlan exploiting well, it's a big shame he is missing as he was on fire last year. Fanny mcguire, original material there sir.

What's with the sneyd rumours? Is he unhappy, homesick? or does it all sound a bit OTT

Also missed out on top spot by points difference

You conveniently failed to continue your highlighting to the end of the sentence. The dobbins were never in contention for the top spot and Widnes had everything to gain by not winning. Now bog off and go and dig some new floodlight pylon foundations.

Has a Hull KR player/fan/employee slept with your Mr/Mrs or something? You're hatred for Rovers is worrying considering ateotd its just a game.
