1) Warrington - Yes i think we can do it again a couple of players have departed but they have been replaced pretty well, although King will be a miss Rhys Evans will hopefully get more game time..Most importantly i think the winning culture flows through the playing staff thanks to Tony Smith.



2) St Helens - Recruited well, new stadium all points to a good season for Saints.Lomax,Foster,Hohaia,Laffranchi some good firepower there.



3) Huddersfield - I think they can improve slightly on last season,they do need some luck with injuries as their starting 13 is strong but not a huge amount of depth in reserve.



4) Wigan - I know eyebrows will be raised on this prediction but i think the departure of McGuire will be hugely significant along with Tomkins,Hoffman,Deacon and Coley. A fair bit of experience has gone.



5) Catalan - Will be hot stuff at home as ever. But i think the away record may let them down again.



6) Leeds - I expect something similar to last year from them. Indifferent in the league but the buisness in the playoffs.



7) Hull FC -I think it may be a slow process for Hull they have the new coach that the fans have cried out for but the recruitment has been very unimpressive IMO.



8. Salford - There seems to be a bit of doom and gloom at Salford but i think they're better off without Parish and could grab the final playoff place. Veivers has been around a bit and with some luck who knows.



9) Castleford - Think they will just miss out but will cause the big guns a few problems especially at home.



10) Wakefield - I think Agar has a point to prove and has made a couple of good signings i think they'll suprise a few.



11) Bradford - Last season was a poor one.Lynch has gone and the squad hasn't been beefed up enough



12) London - The squad has been tweeked pretty well and the coach Rob Powell isn't afraid to throw in the youngsters. However they are prone to winning a couple then going on an horrendous run.



13) Hull KR - Can see it being a long hard season for Rovers. Fair few have departed and the squad looks the poorest since their return to Super League.



14) Widnes - Our friends from down the road are gonna find it tough, a poor season last year in the Championship which means no momentum. And completely new squad this season which will take time to gel. They may get 1 or 2 wins at best.

What have you done with Cas and Bradford?

why bother with technicalities like that left up to the wire they would only want to play themselves that way they may win the grand final

Ha ha sorry i was rushing slightly at the end...

Might slip a place or two, King is a big loss. However, Saints have got to adjust to a new stadium and Wigan to a new coaching team. Might be Leeds again next year.

As other posters have said next year will be difficult to predict and I fear we may not do as well as last year. I am not being a pessimist because last year I predicted would be a very good year for the Wire (which it definitely was)



So here is my pennies worth



Wire (we will still finish top but we will not demolish as many teams as last season)

Catalans (This will be a good year for them)

Saints (they might finish 2nd or even top)

Wigan (new coach, lost important players not the force)

Huddersfield (the wild card in the bunch)

Leeds (even typing their name hurt, I still haven't got over the events of 30th September)

Hull

Bradford

HKR

Salford

Cas

Wakefield

London

Widnes
