3rd would be nice but can't see this for next season maybe a step to far maybe 6th I'd say, I think fc will do better than 8th I think giants will
Drop of next season and I think ul see Leeds and saints back up there and Wigan and wire start to drop of a bit. Watch out for catalans they will be up there to.

No chance, Leeds aiming to finish eighth and then go on to win GF again (yawn) and p1ss off all RL fans.
Can't wait!

You missed the "

" off the end of your post.

Deluded.

That is all.

Dog fight between KR, FC, Hudds and Bradford for final 2playoff places.

Can't see Wakefield finishing last with the recruitment they have made.

Who have they signed thats any good?

I would expect us to beat Catalans, Hudds, Widnes, London, Cas, Wakey, Hull, Salford, Wakefield at home. With a chance of beating Leeds too. I would expect to go to Widnes, London, Cas, Wakey and Salford and win. Thats 30 points as a minimum expectation. Good enough for the 8 last season. The season will be made or broken by how we perform against the top 4.

Hence the reason most of our fans are deluded. Why would u expect to beat Catalan, hudds, cas and hull at home? They are all good sides who we shouldn't expect to just beat.

5th

going on recent results huddersfield would be expected to beat you surely

You are a card Puggy,your entertainment value is top drawer.

St Helens where 3rd this year winning 3 games more than Rovers, With the form at the end of the season we should have been up there this year. The facts are we lost 5 games we should have won and that would be 3rd.

would you rather everyone say we expect to get beat every week we did beat the two grand finalists at home last season so why are we deluded

I'd rather we not expect to win any and we fight for every single yard - if we do that then we make our own luck.

1.Warrington
2.Leeds
3.Wigan
4.Rovers
5.Saints
6.Catalans

14.Widnes

You're knocking the lad for predicting a good Rovers season, I'm not as convinced myself - I'd prefer to write us off as having a gap year and welcome whatever success we have. What I do find funny, is that while your all laughing at plugwash for his Rovers predictions, your failing to realise that he's also predicted Wire as finishing first, that won't happen and in my opinion, is funnier than Rovers finishing 3rd.

Yes, you are correct. I was (and still am) laughing at pugwash pal.
I'm now lauhing at you more.

Bit random. Spelling's bad again. Lots of sherberts last night?

So you don't think we should be beating these teams at home?

Pugwash, I reckon Saints have recruited strongly and, having bloodied so many youngsters last season, will push Wigan and Warrington and pip them by the odd point for the minor-premiership. I don't think they will win the play-off - I reckon Smithy will make sure Warrington don't run out of steam and are my favourites to pick up that trophy.
I also think Catalans will improve again with Pryce adding another ingredient. Leeds will be solid but will have a similar season like last year with an aging squad.

Here's my prediction:

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

I agree with you about the Giants, imo they are in transition like the other teams I position from 6th to 11th. I cannot see any of these teams breaking into the upper top-5 tier next season. With this in mind my 6-11 is much more of a stab in the dark and I hope Rovers can top this middle tier.

I think London and Wakefield will do far better than many expect but will be squeezed out of a very tight dog fight for 8th place. I think Castleford will flatter to deceive and fall away, whilst my bottom 2 will struggle from day one.

We'll win/lose games which we probably shouldn't, but overall I hope we're more consistent and close the gap to the teams above us. I don't think we'll surge up the table but if things go our away 4-6th isn't outta' the question.

The rest - top 3 will be battling it out between themselves again, think Graham will be a massive loss to Saints, but they'll still be better than most. Hudds form dropped alarmingly but I still see them in that group above us. Leeds will be there or thereabouts again. Cats, who knows - but there's no reason why they won't kick on again. Then ourselves and Hull, doubt there will be too much separating us. Cas/Bradford/Salford/Quins - no idea. Just guessed.

Not at all, they've got just as much right to say they should be beating us as we have of beating them. I hope we beat them but I don't go around expecting to as if the players go and do that we would get hammered

yes but were the supporters not the players so whats your point i and by the how much did you wager last night
