Predictions - top 2 bottom 2 : Tue Jan 07, 2020 3:17 pm  

With SL generally getting tighter, it's just too difficult to predict all of the league placings but, who do we think will finish top and bottom of the pile.

I'll go for Saints and Wire as 1st & 2nd, with any 2 from Shudds, KR and Toronto for the bottom 2 spots.
I would have gone for Wigan in 2nd but, I haven't a clue whether Hastings will actually play for them.
There are a host of clubs (including Trinity) that could finish anywhere from 4th to 10th.
Leeds will be massively improved and Salford, despite being GF runners up, could struggle

Not too long to go till round one and it's all to play for

Come on Trin

Despite a new coach you have got to think that Saints will finish in top spot, Warrington, Wigan, Cas to fight it out for second spot, Hull and Leeds to take up the 5th and 6th spots.

Salford , Toronto, Catalans, Wakey, Hudds, Hull KR will be fighting it out for positions 7 to 12, I think they are all pretty equal, it will come down to luck with injuries, team spirit and coaching. Cant see any of these 6 doing a Salford and finishing in the top half, that said there are some good coaches at these clubs and some excellent players. All I know is that on paper its the most competitive season ever, fingers crossed we get some luck.

Top 2: Saints then Wigan, although Wire and Hull will push them close (I think Hull have recruited really well, but very much from a prop forward angle - make everyone big, whereas the winning teams recently have been quick and mobile)
Bottom 2: Toronto and Hudds. SBW can't win every game.

Warrington 1st Wigan 2nd
Wakey 11th Hull kr 12th.

Does that make round 1 a must win for us? ha ha

I do think many neutrals and pundits will see that 1st game of the season as a very early 4 pointer and indicator for the rest of the season. Betfred are giving Rovers 4 points start currently.

I think Saints and Wigan top 2, with Warrington 3rd.

As for the bottom two, I would say Huddersfield, though they have signed Sezer would be one, as one player doesn't make a team, but he could be one of the standouts in the competition. As for the other it could be one of a few. A lot are saying Hull KR, but with the likes of Dowall, Brierley and Hadley, they have recruited quite well.

Wigan sts wire in the top 3
Shudds, KR and Toronto in bottom 3
All in that order

Wakey for a top 5 finish too

Cannot see past Saints for top spot, equally confident that Toronto will finish bottom, the other 10 clubs I would not bet on where they will finish even with somebody else's money.
