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.
