There's 3.

Replace wellens with greenshields and you might have a point, though the point that richards is one of the best backs in the league remains valid, can you think of one team he couldnt get into?

Top 4
Leeds
St Helens
Warrington
Catalans/Hull/Wigan

5-10
Hull/Catalans/Wigan
Bradford
Hull KR
Huddersfield
Cas/Wakefield

11-14
Wakefield/Cas
Harlequins
Salford
Celtic Crusaders

The teams in each category could finish anywhere within that category imo

As an aside, there's a genuinely nice touch in the link above... putting the fans at No.18. But how can they be 'fully fit' when they only ever last 60 minutes? Thats wrong Nicky Standton at Leigh next season.

Halequins are much better than most are making out with their predictions. They also seems to be getting the youth policy right at last. I'm very exited about Clubb, LMS, Sharp & co.

I would certainly agree with you that quins youth policy is producign some excellent players, the reason why (and perhaps others) put quins low down in the table is that they have lost 3 playmakers (rinaldi, hill and paul) and only brought dorn in to replace them, while dorns not a bad player he can be expected to fill the shoes of three players, and plays his best rugby as a support player (for me he is arguabley the best support player in the league), who thrives off converting his playmakers hard work into points.
