2007 predictions

Post by FROM A TO B »

This has been taken direct of 606 BBC site, so not my opinion. However, some interesting choices (seeing as it's from a Londoner)

Who do we all think will be the challengers, the winners, the leading pack, the flops, the stars and the shockers of 2007?

You are all invited to nominate your winners in the following categories... if you don't agree with my answers then there's obviously something wrong with you (sorry - just to stir up some banter at the end of what has been the DULLEST off season in living memory).

1. Challenge Cup winners...
Wigan
2. Challenge Cup flops (most embarrassing exit)...
Bradford
3. Challenge Cup surprise package (remember Salford in 1996?)
Hull KR again
4. Super League Champions and fellow Grand Finalists
St Helens and Wigan
5. Super League top 6
Saints, Bradford, Wigan, Leeds, Warrington, Hull FC
6. Superleague wooden spoonists
Wakefield
7. Team to get promoted
Castleford
8. Man of steel
David Solomona
9. New foreign import who will have the best season
Scott Hill
10. New foreign import who will not live up to the hype
Matt Gidley - too much of a shadow from Lyon
11. Most improved Super League team
Warrington

My choices.
1. Wigan
2. Saints (get over cocky and knocked out early)
3. Widnes
4. Wigan Warrington
5. Leeds, Stains, Hull, Wigan, Bradford, Wire
6. KR
7. Widnes
8. Trent Barrett
9. Trent Barrett
10. Gidley
11. Catalans

cc finalists:wigan and leeds

Grand finalists:wigan and saints
GF winners: Wigan
Man of steel:Stuart Fielden
Top 6: st.helens, leeds, Hull, wigan, Bradford, salford
