Sorry, wasnt meant to look as though I were having a go, just trying to get a point across about the bookies and where their money comes from.

I think that gfb's initial assessment is what I would go with

BIJ yes I have predicted 7 th spot for Fax next season , though nowt to do with the Bookies prices,I suggest you ask the Bookies to give you a price on Fax without Leigh being in the betting you might get 5 or 6 to 1, could be more.
As for my knowledge of our great game?I did win the Fax Fantasy League fairly easy and will be trying to repeat it next season,so I must know something, we all have our opinions though.Again Andy likes to watch Leigh , he says we remind him of the Wigan team he played for I know he looking forward to the Fax game at the Shay next season,as much as I am,not long to wait.

Ian, where do you get 7th place for Fax? How the hell did you win the Fax fantasy league? The Shay Wake, Shaw. Driftwood Pale Ale 5.0 % Mmm!

Sorry Pete,it's just my opinion,I think it will be a great League this year ,for me Leigh should be top ,provided they can gel together,Bradford should be second ,then it's hey boys hey after with Sheffield , Fax , Fev,London, Dews,maybe even Batley going for the other places, I'm not impressed with the signings Fax have made ,sorry but again it's my opinion,obviously RM is a very good Coach , but I think opposing teams will wise up to Fax after last season's great run in you had, my dark horses are Dews.
As for how I won the Fax Fantasy Comp? I'm keeping my tactics quiet as I'm trying to win it again next season.I'm sure you and all my Fax friends won't listen to my predictions,what do I know?Fax will finish in 3rd or 4th spot .

Ian, go to Fax's official website, there is a photo of Richard having just heard of your prediction.
It's called the Halifax stare, and is much more potent than a Glasgow kiss.
Stay indoors for a few days if I were you.

Charlie I'm tempted to DOUBLE our wager ,you know NOWT about Rugby even less about Fax ,we have the best Coach in the Division the best Team spirit ,and a very good group of loyal fans,Leigh might have the overpaid superstars but can they play as a group?The Bookies think so I'm not convinced.

John ,I always say it as I see it even when I'm totally wrong,and though I'm predicting Fax to finish 7th like last year I could be wrong again, I just feel other teams have recruited a bit better,Fax received a fair few quid from Central Funding for finishing where thy did yet I feel they have not invested it on playing staff,obviously RM feels his squad is strong enough and who am I to disagree.It seems the Bookies agree with me.

Good Evening Tezzer,hope you are well?I wish you would double our wager it would be like giving a Donkey strawberries as for my knowledge on Rugby?I'm happy with what I know,I would also contest your claim to having the BEST Coach in the Division I admit RM is a good Coach but to make this claim on the back of winning 7or 8 consecutive league games is a tad early, we will see where you finish at the end of the season.Anyway before that have a Happy New Year. .

Sheffield have a current squad of 20. It's nearly January. Either they've cocked up big style or they're going to announce a glut of signings imminently. Either way - they can't be prepared. I'd have us finishing above them at the moment.

I agree Rich, Sheffield might struggle for top 4 this season. Will be interesting to see how London do after last seasons shambles
