Against all Odds! : Sat Nov 05, 2022 11:00 am  

Only 3 major bookies have declared as yet, but already a disturbing pattern is emerging for us.
They all have the top 5 for next year as:
Saints
Wigan
Catalans
Warrington
Leeds
With ourselves, Cas and Hull FC fighting for the next 3 places.

Fair enough Warrington can't possibly be as bad as last year. Leeds to start better you'd think.
We've got 3 against Saints................ But really, all the way to 6th?

They also agree on Wakey for rock bottom, for those with a particular interest.

It really doesn't matter where within the top 6 we finish, we need to learn how to win playoff games, we could finish first (as we have before!) and it would do us no good at all unless we improve in big games. The season is only a dress rehearsal for the playoff series, until we learn how to focus on that we will not improve.

In that case decent odds to get to the grand final. Stick a tenner on.
Bizarrely we have odds of winning the grand final at 10/1 and the CC final at 12/1.

Yes that is bizarre.

To be fair I think predicting the top 6 is an impossible task, other than Wakey every team looks really strong.

Salford should be in consideration, as should Hull. I've not been impressed with Warringtons signings so far.

As is the way with RL these days the table will be decided by injuries to key players and squad depth

Well we certainly have depth to compete!
