We cant be worse than we were with him-Leeds will suffer you wait and see.

Granted I'm a bit biased, but...



1 Wigan

2 Wire

3 Saints

4 Huddersfield



5 Leeds

6 Hull KR

7 Bradford

8 Hull FC



9 Salford

10 Catalans

11 Castleford

12 Harlequins

13 Crusaders

14 Wakfield



Wigan will just manage to secure top place, although any order of the top four is possible.



Bradford will improve on last season by securing a play-off spot, with Hull FC taking 8th. Salford, Catalans and Castleford will all put up a fight for the play-offs though, so should be interesting.



Wakefield will "win" the wooden spoon, and probably lose their license.



Just my opinion, not trying to start an arguement with anybody.

I'm quite glad in a way that we're being predicted 9th/10th by most people, less expectation on the squad and we can go quietly about our business.



I'll still be disappointed if we dont make the 8 though.

I think Bradford will finish higher than Leeds.

Don't know how serious this post is, but that would be excellent for Potter's first season!



Would be a huge ask, but it is a totally new Bradford team so although we haven't been good for the past few seasons, its hard to tell how we'll play in 2011.

I am serious. This season will be a nightmare for Leeds. Bradford might not have a good season but Leeds will have a worse one.

It's too hard to predict this year IMO but the league will be split into 4 different mini leagues IMO, they could finish in literally any order.



Wigan

Saints

Wire

Leeds



These 4 will be fighting for top spot, but too hard to predict which order they will finish, it will depend on head to heads, injuries and how each team deals with their 'bad spell' of the season. Leeds will improve on last year I have no doubts. We have strengthened in a few areas and should improve. Wire have got rid of their worst player and brought in one of the best FB's in super league, I think they are the main challengers to Wigans title defence. Saints have lost experience but in super league they always field a good squad, I can't see them finishing below 4th.



Hudds

Hull



These two are pretty similar on paper, last year Hull were superb when at their best but had too many poor games. Hudds had alot going on behind closed doors last year and struggled at times but I think this season they could finish fifth again despite losing Hodgeson. Both can match the big 4 on their day but both are not as consistant, therefore they will both miss out on the top 4 IMO.



Bradford

Hull KR

Salford

Catalans



These 4 will fight for the last 2 play-off spots. Bradford and Salford have both made some good signings and got rid of some poor players so I think they will be in with a shout. Hull KR have been there or there abouts in the play-offs and will challenge again, they have a decent squad with some classy players. Catalans, well I don't know but I just have a feeling they may pull something off this year. They don't have a poor squad and if they can sort their naughty boys out and use their home advantage well then I can see them making a charge for the play-offs.



Crusaders

Quins

Cas

Wakey



The last 4 teams are either just as poor as last year or have lost some decent players.



My prediction of how it will pan out is.....



Wigan

Wire

Leeds

Saints

Hudds

Hull

Hull KR

Bradford

Salford

Catalans

Cas

Wakey

Crusaders

Quins



This will hopefully provide us with some more nail biting play-off fixtures again.



Wigan v Saints

Hull v KR

Wire v Leeds

Hudds v Bradford



Proabably even better than this years!



In conclusion I think every team has arguments as to why they will have a cracking season and every team has a chance of things not going their way whether that be new signings not gelling or expectancy being to high etc. I think this is the hardest super league season to call and the first time we have had 4-5 maybe even 6 teams with a shout of Old Trafford at the end of the year. We certainly have 4 teams who could realistically win the compeition, I dont think we have had that since 2004 when the old big 4 was in place before Wigan and Bradfords demise. Wire have IMO replaced Bradford to form a new top 4 which will stick around for a few years yet I think.

The Warrington squad might be old, bt Morley, Monaghan, Higham, King and Briers all played 30+ games last year, as apposed to Vinnie, Wild and Feka probably kicked in about 15 each. Plus if you look at the standard of talent, i'd rather have a class 30 odd year old, than a has-been (or never has-been and never will be)

Hold on there Mr Burns, i never commented on the quality of your team im mearly saying the age of your team is the same or older than ours so your dads army comment isn't justified.

Why not though, i know "Leeds know how to win games" and all that jargon, but they have one proven hooker, that under performed fot 18 of his 24 months over here, and a youngster that doesnt look to be world beater. Their two best players of last year are missing the first 8 (ish) games. Rob Burrow has ost the yard of pace that made him any better than Dean Lawford impressionist. Brett Delaney is as good a centre as Barrie McDermott is, actually, Barrie would be quicker and at least look like breaking line. Signed Ben Cross, who has spent the past 6 years on his back in the NRL. The core of the Leeds team is rotting, Webb, McGuire, Burrow, Diskin and Sinfield are all struggling, losing a yard of pace, having to be wheeled out onto the pitch carrying an injury or (by far worst) joined Bradford

My comment wasnt just a dig at age, it was a general concept that maybe a few of the old guard can't cut it anymore

RED LEAGUE was trying to say that the same concerns can be levelled at Warrington, if you think it's not an issue for the Wolves, then go and look at your squads player profiles.
