Crunch time predictions

Post by MrPartridge »

So to use the old cliche the 'business end of the season' is here!

So for a bit of fun let's have some predictions for March to May... 5 simple questions to answer and we'll review in a few months to see who is the best tipster...

1) Where will Tigers finish in the league table?
2) Who will win the Premiership?
3) If team selected in 2 is not Tigers, who will win the Prem?
4) How far will Tigers get in the HK?
5) Who will win the HK?

For a bit of background on this the bookies offer Tigers at best priced 9/4 for the Prem (Saracens 15/8), Quins (5/2) and Saints (16/1). You can get 25/1 on Tigers to win the HK with Clermont 6/4, Toulon 4/1, Saracens/Ulster and Quins between 6-9/1 respectively.

I guess I'm obliged to give a guess as I started the post, so I'm going with:

1) 2nd
2) Quins
3) Beaten finalists (please not again :-()
4) Quarter-final (sorry but away form in HK is unlikely to see us beat Toulon)
5) Clermont

I hope I'm wrong - in a pro-Tigers way!

I actually think we're going to win the league this year. Crazy, I know, but I just think an away semi-final could be the kick up the :censored: that does it for us.

Until we lose, I expect us to win everything :smt003
Of course this is my own opinion and other posters may have a different perceived factual viewpoint.

Yep I'll agree with this.

I predict we will be thereabouts again and would not write us off just yet.Clearly the away games are going to be tough,but if anyone can turn this round Tigers are the team to do it.
I predict we win next week.

I think we can win the league and even scrape a HC win, but sadly don't think we will do either.

Tigers, heart says second in the league, head says third.
Quins to win it.
Tigers to lose in Toulon.
Clermont or Toulon to win the HC.

But I hope I'm wrong.
Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.
