I think Saints are too strong to be topped again, Wigan will just edge the Giants for 2nd. To be honest, teams from 4th down to 10th are a complete lottery, any can finish between those 7 places in my opinion. I am not convinced by Cas, i think their recruitment has been quite 'meh'. I also see Catalans and Wire having rather disappointing seasons. Salford scrape the play offs as long as they keep players injury free. Wakey will struggle, however they always seem to do just enough, so who knows.
As for us, if we have a clean bill of health and TS can prevent our annual mid season collapse then I think we are in good shape for 5th.
As said above I think 4-10 is a real lottery depending on injuries/ Suspensions. I think Wire could go well, no idea why just a feeling, not convinced by Leeds, Rovers will surprise a few (unfortunately). Really liking the look of wigan this year. Leigh could struggle to adapt to week to week super league especially if/when injuries bite or if Lam or Ipape are out long term. Wakey have some quality if they can stay fit they'll avoid the drop.
As they say opinions are like ar*eholes we've all got one.
1. Saints 2. Wigan 3. Hull FC 4. Huddersfield 5. Warrington 6. Leeds 7. Hull kr 8. Catalan (think McNamara could be first coach to get sacked if Catalan get off to a bad start) 9. Salford 10. Castleford 11. Leigh 12. Wakey
I think Wigan will pip St’s this year but it’ll be close. Then I think 3 to 10 could be any of 8 teams think we will surprise a few and think Leeds may not do so well. Then just a straight shoot out between Wakey and Leigh at the bottom.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
Saints and Wigan to battle it out but Huddersfield could win the league leaders shield IMO, 4th down to 10th like most seasons is a bit of a free for all really, Catalans and Wire under a lot if pressure, probably fair to say that about FC too. Wakey and Leigh battling the wooden spoon.
It's probably fair to say that teams that handle injuries the best will do well (obviously)
My only prediction is that Leigh will go fairly decent until uncle Derek does his usual of not paying players & threatening to leave the club, then comes relegation.
