Well now we know three things



1. The Grand Final will be a Wigan v Catalans clash which is probably a fair reflection of the regular season.

2. As a collective you have to question our general RL knowledge with these scores

3. You can find most things on t'internet if you look hard enough thanks BWW for the Catalans/Saints crowd



Well done CW8 and our Walter for being 'kings of the hillock, top of a very small heaps'.

Well that's all folks, probably the right result and disappointingly from a Wire perspective, the right teams at Old Trafford so the wait goes on..



Our Grand Final winner was CW8 with 36 points thanks in no small part to Marshall being the first and last try scorer. This fantastic haul proved to be decisive, giving them a well deserved Prediction Competition Title for 2023 and the standard fortnight in Barbados first prize, overtaking the long term leader Builth Wells Wire with a final roll of the prediction 'dice', commiserations BWW.



Well played all better luck next year. .

Wow, I knew I had a good day but I assumed others would have too. Many thanks for running it again Uncle Rico it does add (more) excitement to the superleague competiton.



Winning this means a lot more to me than it probably should. Commiserations to BWW for my huge chunk of luck in the last 2 rounds.



Will you be calling me from your offshore telephone for my passport and account details so I can book the Barbados trip?

As I bid farewell to my title, let me pass on my congratulations to CW8, who timed his/her (mustn't presume) winning run to perfection, in a way we can only dream that Wire will one day emulate. And huge thanks to Uncle Rico for all the hours spent adjudicating the competition, which provides a welcome bit of fun throughout the season. Roll on 2024, and the joys of trying to predict how the Sam Burgess era Wire will perform!

Congrats cw8..if there's any of our friends from up the east lancs on this prediction comp you do realise they will probably appeal this..and thanks uncle Rico for the time spent organising this bit of weekly fun..

Thanks once again for all your efforts in running this comp Uncle Rico and well done CW8.

OMG, I ended up in 6th, so excited about that in a way that Wire never should be!



When do the playoffs start, coz we all know that the top team at the end of the season aren't the champions....



Many thanks to Uncle Rico, it's the only thing that kept me interested for long parts of the season, and "Congratulations" to CW8......it's my year next year

Congratulations to CW8 and commiserations to Builth Wells Wire.



Another podium finish for the Yorkshire interloper who's a Bolton supporter (that's 3 in 6 seasons).



Massive thanks to Uncle Rico, keep up the good work mate it really is much appreciated.

Thanks Uncle Rico, enjoy your break from having to wade through all of our mad predictions (well mine mostly were).



Congratulations to CW8 too, winning from second place or lower is fitting for the way we do things in RL. Just ask London Broncos fans!

Well done CW8, and many thanks UR for running the comp.

Thank you UR.



Well done CW8 the champ

Tough on BWW. who was a moral winner.



My run of prediction prowess matching that of Powell.

Note to self “next season do NOT let your heart rule your head!”

Congratulations CW8 and many thanks to UR.
