Lets have some predictions then. Where can we expect to finish? Last year was an eye opener for a lot of us optimists. This coming year our older players are aren't getting younger and they might be a bit slower than last year and Kevin Locke hasnt really lived up to expectations. However we have a better squad now though and more time to gel together so i'm optimistic (again!)



Top 8 doesn't matter as much next year with the new restructure but I still think it has to be our aim. Our main aim has to be avoiding the bottom 4. This could be disastrous for us if we're playing Championship level clubs as our attendances will plummet and it wont be appealing to some of our stay-away fans.

I'm going to say we'll finish 6th.

For what its worth I think Wigan will win the Grand Final and Wakefield, Widnes, Castleford and Hull KR will finish in the bottom four.


So whats everyone elses predictions?

What's the difference between finishing top 8 and avoiding the bottom 4? Have I missed a new restructure?!

6-8th place I'd guess at, I'm stubbornly optimistic though. If we can pick up where we left last season then we'll do well, need to start performing against the big teams though!

Hopefully we'll start the season off well, if we don't Harris may well be making an early exit and we'll be back to square one.

I cant be bothered turning this onto a debate on the restructure but what I meant was that finishing in the top 8 wont give us any play off oppurtunities guaranteed. Perhaps I worded it wrong, bottom four needs to be avoided though.

And i agree, most fans have never warmed to Harris so if we have a few consecutive losses the fans will be on his back.

Avoiding bottom four and getting in top 8 are the exact same thing, that's all my point was.

I personally think Harris has done a good job though a lot of fans don't think the same as you say. Still, its more our owner that worries me than our fans, he isn't the most patient of men.

I think wigan saints and warrington will finish top 3, then it's anybodies guess.
I'm going for us to finish 5th.

Didn't we learn ?
I'm not rising the ire of the gods of RL , temptin' fate .

3 months yet to go and most other ' teir 1' teams still have space to build on their squads for next season .
As to tipping other sides Hull KR Look to have gone on a Koukash style shopping spree:-
Josh Mantelatto
Ken Sio
Darryl Goulding
Maurice Blair
Albert Kelly
Keiran Dixon
Tyrone NcCarthy
James Donaldson
and more promised
Whether they do a Cas Or replicate their rivals 2014?

I think that Albert Kelly is the best import for next season, if KR can keep him interested along with Locke and Carney we have 3 immense players too look forward too watching.

I doubt that anyone will break the monopoly of Saints, Warrington or Wigan but doubt very much if Leeds again will be the force they have been this season.

Being in the top halve of the lets split the atom over complicated draw and a good cup run will do me.

Like I said, Top 8 has to be our aim. NOT because its important to get into the top 4 playoffs but just to avoid the tedious nature of playing championship clubs if we finish in the bottom 4. I actually think Catalan will improve a lot but I can see us finishing above Huddersfileld and surprising a few other fans.

There are 3 teams in the Championship next season who are full time and if you think a current Superleague club who finishes in next seasons bottom 4 will be having tedious games against Championship clubs is just that' then you are deluded.

Oh well then! In that case lets hope all of our part-time fans share your enthusiasm for playing Championship clubs and lets spend all of next season purposely trying to finish in the bottom four

Sorry mate but your reasoning is baffling.

Back to talking about rugby, but does anyone else think we've gambled on inexperienced pros? I like the idea of a young hungry team, but I feel they need more experience around them. It's great having the likes if Morley, puletua and griffin to guide them, but given their age, will they be able to produce the quality of performance required next year?
