TheDuke Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 So given the season starts in just a few weeks let’s see what positions people think clubs will finish in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDuke Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 I’m going to go for 1 Hunslet 2 Siddal 3 West Hull 4 Mayfield 5 Thatto Heath 6 Wath Brow 7 Underbank 8 Kells 9 Myton 10 Egremont 11 St Pats 12 Normanton i think Hunslet could claim the top spot going on previous results, ST Pats have flirted with relegation in the last few seasons and this could be the time they fall out the trap door Sorry Normy coming up via the playoffs is always going to be tough unless you have picked up a couple of players, if not then it might be a short stay in the premier division i think West’s will fare better this term and Mayfield will certainly challenge this will be the first time we have no Leigh side in the premier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunsletgreenandgold Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I agree with your top 6, although maybe some slight ordering adjustments, like I think Thatto may be a little higher, and would obviously love to see Hunslet finish top. Can't wait for the start of the season - will be great going to some of these teams this year and we're very much looking forward to hosting them. I think for overall winners Mayfield and Siddal will pose the biggest threat to us. My prediction: 1 Siddal 2 Hunslet CP 3 Mayfield 4 Thatto Heath 5 West Hull 6 Wath Brow 7 Kells 8 Underbank 9 Egremont 10 Myton 11 St Pats 12 Normanton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC3 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Siddal are a great club and I don't see them struggling... however I think the loss of Garrod, Sanderson etc. will have a big impact. Look at Miners last year after O'Brien left? 1. Thatto 2. Mayfield 3. Wath Brow 4. West Hull 5. Hunslet 6. Siddal 7. Kells 8. Underbank 9. Myton 10. Egremont 11. St Pats 12. Normanton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunsletgreenandgold Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 For what I know Siddal have some very able replacements to step straight into them shoes. I just hope they find their feet after the second game of the season..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDuke Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 I think Myton will be just outside the playoffs and certainly not bottom. Siddal ought to come higher than 5th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunsletgreenandgold Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Just looking at peoples prediction here it feels like there are at least 9 teams realistically pushing for play-offs and not just to make up the numbers, but actually to make it to the final. Looks like a very strong league, which is great for the NCL. Nobody wants to see teams getting annihilated at any level but in the Premier division there's even more spotlight, so this bodes well IMO.

I disagree - I think the play offs have been predictable over the past few seasons and this is evident when you look at the results in the weekly rounds. Usually at least 2 blow out (20+ winning margin) score lines every week. Only time will tell how it pans out this year but I agree with the above table predictions that show around 9 clubs could potentially beat each and therefore be competitive in the play offs.

Cumbria1 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I disagree with showing Egremont in the bottom 3, They proved after getting lads back from injury that they are a very good team and nearly sneaked into the playoffs at the end of the season. Cumbria is always a hard place for teams to come and take 2 points away, would love to see all 3 teams in the playoffs this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDuke Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 Well looks like I failed to predict Mayfields plight and underestimated Egremont, Normanton look to have done extremely well too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see the collapse at Mayfield coming and Normanton will have done great to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davo5 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Given that a side could be relegated and only be 6 points short of the play offs,is 3 up 3 down too much ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fax lad Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Yes i do think 3 down is too much,2 down and 2 up is ample,how far are hunslet club parkside widening The net for next seasons recruitment?..would be nice to have some local lads playing for them like the warriors , instead of cas, wakey lads being drafted in !!!!

Hahaha, That's a good effort to get a bite I'lll give you that. Surprised you didn't chuck in a bit of 'How much they paying them?' bile that we've heard plenty of as well. Don't be bitter, be better Fax lad. But just to clarify for the wider forum, who won't have the local knowledge, 9 of our starting 13 last week are from LS10 (Hunslet post code area) so this is literally absolute rubbish. Craig Miles is probably the closest to being from Cas/Wakey - but saying a player like him has been 'drafted in' is hilarious. He's played for us for about 6 years now hahahaha. I'll tell you what though, if there's all these brilliant players from Cas and Wakey you might want to give the Warriors a knock and let them know....if they don't mind Div 3 next year that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree in some respects but it's hard to argue that it doesn't work especially as it appears all 3 promoted clubs this year will stay up? It just means the margin between success and failure is closer. If Thornhill, Leigh Miners and Lock Lane come up this year i'd say that will make the Prem even stronger than this season IMO.

AC3 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Now the playoffs are all but confirmed (barring a big win for Siddal and a heavy defeat for Wath), who do you fancy? At this moment in time, Hunslet are the obvious pick but anything can happen in one off games. On top of that, there's very little to split places 2-6. Should be an interesting one!

Fax lad Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Yes u have got to fancy hunslet, but west hull are never far away and Thatto r showing some form in the latter end of the season, here’s wishing all the teams good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
