Keep dreaming Crown Flatter...

Will be a miracle if we finish 6th...

Ever the optimist, that's me Nick!

You rape wakey for scraps your in top half of league. You dont strengthen and its yo-yo time again

[hindsfordleyther79]

I think top 2 are nailed on as hull kr and london. If toulouse can be good away they should be a top 4 side after that there are a number of teams who could get 4th. Batley, featherstone or sheffield given their dual reg with leigh or an outside bet on swinton, they have recruited well

[Blind side johnny]

My revised prediction now that most of the dust has settled:

1. Hull KR

2. London

3. Featherstone

4. Batley

5. Toulouse

6. Swinton

7. Halifax

8. Dewsbury

9. Bradford

10. Sheffield

11. Rochdale

12. Oldham

I'm pretty confident about 1 & 2 and the top five as a whole, the other seven could be something of a lottery highly dependent upon DR.

Shows what a good league it could be next season. When I saw Oldham at the bottom my first thought was not a chance but someone has to come bottom and in my eyes it could be any of those teams you have in your bottom 5.

Like how you say bottom 5 and not 6?

[Piggy's mate]

I see on the back page of the press your mighty leader reckons better than 8th although his team selection/availability is getting a bit thin already!

I were talking reality rather than fantasy.

Go on then for a laugh (although on reviewing it I realise it does look remarkably like TPH's). After the 'regular' season:

 

1st Hull KR - by a wide margin but not as wide as Leigh's last season

2nd London - should finish here but will be just in front of 3rd

3rd/4th Batley/Featherstone - could be in any order with not much to choose between them as last year

5th 'Fax - not far behind 4th

6th Toulouse - home form will see them finish up the table but as with most French teams they won't travel well

7th Oldham

8th Dewsbury

9th Swinton - 7th - 9th could be in any order

10th Bradford - if someone saves them from the 'liquidiser' they'll retain enough of their current squad to see them safe

11th Rochdale - I think the experience of those above of playing in the championship will mean an early return to C1

12th Sheffield - have they got enough (any) players yet? Looking at their forum even their fans don't appear to know.

Well after todays result lets hope their away form isn't that clever or a few of you might need to move them up a few places...

Nice start though.. Cant beat a Batley drubbing to bring a smile...

Nah, think many of us may have over estimated Batley

The trouble with schottenfreude is it don't last long.
