Top half looks about right, though I think Leeds will manage the transition just fine and it wouldn't surprise me to see them top of the pile again.
Also looking at top 6 would be Cas who showed 2014 was no fluke in 2015, and Hull who have lost a lot of talent, but have recruited similar or, in the case of Pritchard, better - their pack should see them make the 8 at least, IMO. The 8 should be our target, but I'd be pleasantly surprised if we exceed the OPs prediction. Salford could improve or just as easily implode.

So roughly similar to recent seasons, with enough small to medium surprises to keep the journey to a familiar conclusion interesting

Can't see much changing from this years 'blocks' within the league. No one has done enough in terms of recruitment to look like upsetting the applecart.
We still look too light up front for me. I think wire will continue to struggle in the lower reaches of the 8. Hull have recruited well in the areas they were already strong and failed to recruit in the areas they were weak.
Suppose the only factor we can hope for is the squad bedding in better with less comings and goings.

Hulls 6&7 hold the key to them making the 8. Pryce is good for a couple of games and his partner is not consistent enough.

Re: Predicted league 2016 : Fri Dec 18, 2015 2:45 pm  

Agree about Hull's backs. Good pack but not enough strike on the fringes. A few injuries in there three quarters and their screwed.

As for us, it's all dependent on injuries. Keep our spine intact and we'll be ok. Have a year like last year, and bottom four beckons. Our squad is fairly young, so I'm hoping we'll keep fit and healthy.

Predict us: 7/8th.

Each reply so far mentioning Hull , forever looking up at big brother. At least Mild Rover realises there are 10 other Superleague to talk about.

Re: Predicted league 2016 : Fri Dec 18, 2015 3:39 pm  

Hopefully we will Finish top 6, as for rovers top 8 . I know one thing can't wait for new season

I wouldn't have mentioned Hull if the poster hadn't have had them down in 9th as for my own club 6th 7th or 8th id be happy with and should be achievable
