Nobody will break up the top 2 of Leeds and Saints again imo. Only we are anywhere near good enough to do it and we won't.

Leeds
Saints
Wigan
Warrington
Catalans
Huddersfield
Bradford
Hull(if they got a class halfback possibly higher)
HKR
Wakefield
Castleford
Quins
Salford
Celtic

I think thats roughly how I see it, couple of changes but that would be close to my prediction. The thing is, as we know, it's irrelevant and this time of the year, and of course there is usually a surprise team in there that upsets everything.

Hard time to judge anything tbh as teams(like Wigan) haven't finished their recruitment yet.

I think it's a fair call to think Leeds and Saints will be top 2 and that Celtic will finish bottom.

Places 3 to 13 are very hard to call. Theres probably going to be 2 mini leagues inside those places.

Thats two posters who think cas will finish below salford, is there any particular reason, i would say all the evidence points to us having a stronger team this year, wheras finnishing in 13th would suggest we have a weaker. Opinions and reasoning please, not club arguments.

I would disagree with them. Castlefords youth policy last year will result in them having a good season in 2009. As a Saints fan I would love to see Shenton, Owen and Westerman in pull on the red vee. The fact that Cas have held on to young players of such quality is a sign that they will soon be a strong team in Superleague once again. I would imagine a 8th to 10th position finish in 2009 would be a good prediction for them this season. With further improvement and playoffs the years after.

Salford and Celtic are likely to be far behind the rest as they do not have established SL teams. They will be looking beyond 2009 i would think.

Why will they? They have better resources than just about any other club and a very good coach. I'm not saying they definitely won't finish bottom, but it's surely not a clear cut issue as some are making out.
