An Hull Kr fan who doesn't like Leigh coz they got beat at Wembley int CCup.

do the right thing.....place on ignore

God they are so needy aren't they.

Why is a Rovers fan even making new threads on an FC forum. The need for attention is genuinely embarrassing.

They'd still lose the final

Wigan
Catalans
Warrington
Rovers
Leeds
Saints
Leigh
Salford
Hull
Wakey
Hudds
Cas

As usual alot depends on injuries, also what happens at Salford, Leigh have lost alot of quality, depends if the replacements are as good, but still have two of SL best players. Leeds are a funny one, but think with Arthur they will do well, the two wingers will eat up meters for fun.

McNamara could be in danger if he doesn't have a good season, has the most expensive side in SL, a good coach should be challenging with their squad.

Early prediction, with some reasoning:

1st - Wigan: Not much changed from last year and will continue their dominance

2nd - Hull KR: Have recruited well however think they will fall just short again.

3rd - Wire: Same as last year, any side with Williams in will be up there.

4th - Catalans: Going off their recruitment they (should) be much better in 2025.

5th - Saints: Think another disappointing year for their standards, big year for them on the the recruitment/retention front

6th - Leigh: Lost vital players and still need a half, but still have plenty of quality.

7th - Leeds: Think passed their starting 17 is very weak and no cap space, injuries could derail their year massively.

8th - Salford: Hope for their sake that finances don’t disrupt their year however it seems inevitable.

9th - Hull FC: A step in the right direction, think most would see this as progress.

10th - Wakefield: Solid year back in Super League, think they’ll do fine.

11th - Huddersfield: Long year ahead for the Giants I feel.

12th - Castleford: Wooden spoon for the tigers, Rimbu could anything however.

spot on to how i had it, the only movement i could see in that is if salford sell nene cross sneyd which is looking more likely by the minute, if that happens i see them dropping to 11th and everyone bumping up one

its sounding like cross to FC is well in the works, cant see nene mcd coming back with all the stuff thats going on

Wigan- Will still be the team to beat, French is by far and away the best and most exciting player in SL, strong pack, electric backs and halves, can't see them losing many.

Wire- As long as Williams and Dufty stay fit they'll be near the top.

Rovers- Will miss Parcell and Hall but still recruited well, can they avoid injuries again?

Sts- There's a few creaking bodies but will be up there, not convinced by Wellens, individual quality will see them through.

Catalans- Unknown in many ways, lots of new recruits, if they can find consistency they may go higher.

Leeds- Think Arthur will have them more consistent, they've got a decent young team.

Leigh- Lost a lot of quality but Armstrong could be electric along with Lam and Ipape they'll have one of the best spines around.

Salford- Will depend on their financial situation and their ability to retain their squad when the vultures circle.

Hull- Lots of changes hopefully Cartwright will get us some consistency, youth players gametime last season will help us massively.

Wakefield- Recruited well will be solid, Johnstone and Mckmeeken are great signings.

Cas- Some quality but maybe not enough to get much higher.

Hudds- Lost a lot of quality and not really replaced.

Top 5 could really be in any order depending on injuries and suspensions.

Then Leeds, Leigh and Salford.

Finally us Wakey, Hudds and Cas, hopefully we're aiming to be top of that mini group or even break into the middle group this coming season.

Like most posters I don't envisage a massive change from last year across the board.
Taking a punt, I will go for the following:

1. Wire
2. rovers (2nd to Wire on points difference!)
3. Wigan
4. Saints
---------------------------
5. Catalans
6. Leeds
7. Leigh
8. Salford
--------------------------
9. Huddersfield
10. Fc
11. Cas
12. Wakefield

Grand Final: Wigan (comfortably beating rovers!)
C. Cup Final: Wire (comfortably beating rovers!!)

There could be any movement within those three separate groups but the league again has a top, middle, bottom air about it. I notice that everyone who's posted so far has each team in roughly the same place so there seems to be a general consensus about how it may pan out over the year.
There is usually at least one team who do better than predicted at the start with at least one favoured team going in the opposite direction so you can never be wholly sure with these predictions.

Even though there is a more positive air around the club I still think we are having to come from a long way back after these recent horrendous years. It's more about the attitude and performance level with us that I'm interested in, Although I'm hoping to witness more than three wins this time round!
There are a lot of questions around those bottom five clubs I've listed, with no one really knowing how any of them will go. I'd take 8th for us right now as a positive, but after these past years I'm loathe to set my sights too high, we really have been badly burned of late and I'm wary at setting my sights too high. One step at a time and all that.

Like I said, if we're competitive most weeks we should win more games than of late and at least start to look like we are travelling in the right direction again. Let's hope in future we look back on 2025 as the year the fight back commenced. Honestly think that is the best we can hope to see in 2025.
