I voted 7th, but in reality I think that is the highest we are likely to finish. Lower is a distinct possibility.

Looking at the poll and the comments, I think it is fair to say that we haven't a clue😉

I don't know...it seems that most are applying fans' natural optimism to our current position and thinking that we will end up slightly above where we are now.  I think that is pretty natural, and with no sign of an upturn in form, it's probably not far out.  9th is likely to be the lower end as Bristol are a bit behind and we are beginning to fall away from Gloucester in 6th due to our general lack of form, so 9th - 7th looks reasonable with optimists going for 7th, pessimists for 9th (notwithstanding the error of the 13th place!!).  I'll certainly have some of whatever the person who thought we would win the whole thing is drinking, the world must look fantastic from that vantage point! I went for 7th by the way as I don't think there is much between Sale, Saints and us.

I voted 9th. I think we've wasted too many points this season and will be undone by other clubs getting big players back by the later rounds.

I'll go for 6th, purely because no-one else has posted that position and i'm definitely a glass half full guy.

Surely as long as the players have a chance of making the top 4, then they will "believe" that they can as professionals?

I agree that top 6 or 8 should be achievable, but if Top 4 did happen then we'd be carrying a lot of momentum into those games (much like Quins last season).

There's still a lot of points to play for and many teams all pretty close together.

I know that some teams will be getting International players back, but don't they still have to sit out some games before the end of the season based on International Game Time as that was always the case before?

It will be an interesting few weeks certainly.

I went uber optimistic and said 6, but realistically it's probably 7 or 8.  7 would  be good considering what Wasps have been through this season.  ('ColonelWasp' ...  what a lovely name!!)
