Hadfield's opinion is no more or less valid than anyone elses. The fact someone deems fit to pay him to offer it is an irrelevance. I'm sure he'd agree with me on that.

Predictions are crushingly dull, fair play to him for having the cajones to offer a slightly different view, even if most people will deem him mentally unstable as a result.

Good on you Dave, you bearded cuddly bear you.

I agree. You have nothing to lose, as people forget about these come the end of the season, unless KR do well and he will quote himself. He wouldn;t get any prizes for predicting Leeds v Saints in the GF.

If you are going to have to write a prediction, you may as well stick your neck out with one of the predictions, and this is what he has done. KR are no mugs, and whilst I think his prediction is OTT, they could be a surprise package.

Out of interest, how did his predictions fair for 2006/07/08 when compared with actual?

Maybe Rovers haven't but plenty of players in the team have!

If Dave Hadfield ever reads this I will be happy to take a wager that HKR don't make the GF.

phil clarke predicted catalan last night. is he getting as mental, or is he right about them having the best centre combo, and the best front row in the comp?
