Wouldn't be surprised to see at least one of the Hull clubs overtake Huddersfield in 2012, I think the Giants have had their best shot at winning silverware with this current side which is only going to decline IMO.

1= Leeds

2= Warrington

3= St Helens

4= Wigan

5= Catalans

6= Huddersfield

7= Hull

8= Hull KR

9= Bradford

10= Castleford

11= Salford

12= London Broncos

13= Wakefield

14= Widnes

Not sure about that. I don't think their 3/4 line has peaked yet and their halves are still young enough. I think they'll be as credible as contenders for the next two years as for the previous two.



Which is to say they'll have good runs where they can turn anyone over, flatter to deceive and then fall apart shortly before the prizes get dished out.

1. Saints

2. Warrington

3. Wigan

4. Leeds

5. Catalan

6. Huddersfield

7. Hull Fc

8. Hull Kr

9. Cas

10. London

11. Bradford

12. Wakey

13. Salford

14. Widnes



Its difficuult to predict the bottom half cos they are all equally poor apart from Widnes who I think will be whipping boys this season!

Hard to be sure until they hit the field, but Widnes have been getting ready for this for a while, they have built some better foundations than when they were last in SL, and I think they'll be outside the 8, but outside the bottom 2 as well.

Tricky.



1. Warrington

2. Saints

3. Leeds

4. Wigan

5. Catalan Dragons

6. Huddersfield

7. Hull KR

8. Bradford

9. Hull FC

10. London

11. Castleford

12. Salford

13. Wakefield

14. Widnes

Making predictions so early leaves you at a disadvantage as numerous factors could occur nearer to the seasons start.

But Hey Ho and what the hell, I'll go for:



1 - Warrington Wolves

2 - St Helens

3 - Wigan Warriors

4 - Leeds Rhinos

5 - Catalan Dragons

6 - Huddersfield Giants

7 - Hull FC

8 - Hull KR

9 - Bradford Bulls

10 - Castleford Tigers

11 - London Broncos

12 - Salford City Reds

13 - Wakefield Wildcats

14 - Widnes Vikings

1. Saint Helens

2. Warrington

3. Wigan

4. Rhinos

5. Hull FC

6. Huddersfield

7. Catalan Dragons

8. Hull KR

9. Bradford

10. Castleford

11. Salford City Reds

12. London Broncos

13. Wakefield Wildcats

14. Widnes Vikings

That's true but the earlier entry counts as an unofficial third element of the tie-break formula used to order the final table.



Anyone duplicating an earlier entry will be unable to secure a higher finishing position so getting in first with a prediction could be important.

1. Warrington

2. Saint Helens

3. Wigan

4. Leeds

5. Catalans

6. Huddersfield

7. Hull FC

8. Hull KR

9. Bradford

10. Castleford

11. London Broncos

12. Salford

13. Wakefield

14. Widnes

As there has already been one duplicated entry I guess I better place my unique entry before someone else bags it first.

I think the bottom teams will all take a lot more points of each other this year than previous years, 5/6 to 14th will be pretty close, with a gap to the top teams
