So the prediction is
- Exeter
- Saracens
- Wasps
- Gloucester
- Leicester
- Newcastle
- Sale
- Bath
- Northampton
- Harlequins
- Bristol
- Worcester
I think we can do better than that.
Last season we just fell apart in the second half.
This season I'm expecting better defence, better set piece.
So if we work hard all season, I think mid table 5-8 is
possible.
I expect Exeter, Saracens, Wasps, Leicester and maybe Newcastle
to be above us.

I'd be happy with 6-8, ecstatic with anything above that,
disappointed with anything below.

FWIW, The Rugby Paper and Sunday Times have both got Quins
earmarked for 10th as well.

Yeah - being realistic I’m the same. We have to hope for an
improvement on last season but the Premiership is becoming more
and more competitive and, like last season, I wouldn’t expect
there to be many points separating 6th and 10th.
Most, if not all of what I’ve seen from Gustard so far has been
good and I’m optimistic he and the new coaching team can bring
the direction and focus we need to improve. The challenge is
that this clearly isn’t going to happen overnight and a bad
start in the Premiership would be very difficult to recover from
in terms of league position.

I’m predicting 5th. I think we’ll find our way in the latter
part of the season

I am filled with doom, gloom, despondency and foreboding.
So just my usual cheerful self, then?
Tenth or eleventh is my forecast.

Gussy's 3 year road plan.
Year 1. Avoid Relegation, have a bit of a Cup Run.
Year 2. Top 6, reach later stages of a Cup.
Year 3. Top 4 and a Trophy of some sort or very close.

I don't mind where we finish necessarily as long as we avoid
relegation - I'd just like to see a side that appears to know
what it's doing, has some heart and a recognisable game plan.
The league is so tight and there are already some sides on the
up from last season, we need a complete rebuild, so have to be
realistic. I could survive seeing us lose games at the Stoop if
they're tight games between two competing sides.
I can't watch another season of capitulation against nothing in
particular - several of the sides who turned us over didn't even
have to play good rugby last year, they just had to not drop the
ball and run at our defence.

I said 8th on another thread a few weeks back - I'll stick with
it. Bit uninspiring, though. Oh well.

I will settle - if I have to - for winning all the home games
and losing the away games.
Not that I want to, you understand.
