spotted this going threw old posts. its a good laugh going threw it. early days for some answers but other answers are well funny.

i got it wrong with flop of the season with griffin (based on injury). good season so far. at least i didnt pick parks ye know who ye are.

also dissapointment of the year seems wrong too, expected to lose vs zebre but so far won 2 away games against them.

This looked nucking futs when I first read it but on second thoughts it's (just about) possible:

Zebre away 4 points
Quins home 4 points
BOPB home 4 points
BOPB away 1 point
Quins away 1 point
Zebre home 5 points

How this forum from being so negative about all things Connacht, to becoming this optimistic, I'll never know :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

1. What position will Connacht finish in the Pro12? 7th. We'll get over 40 points but maybe just short of the 2 average for each game of 44.
2. How far will Connacht go in the HC? Knocked out in the group stage. We'll probably finish 3rd. Fancy us to take Biarritz at Sportsground, we should do the double on Zebre but mightn't, think we might struggle against Harlequins this time. 14 points.
3. Our player of the Season? George Naoupu in the pack, Tiernan O'Halloran in the backs.
4. Our flop of the Season? I won't comment on this one. Its a clean slate. Don't think its fair at this stage.
5. Biggest home crowd of the season (which opponent?) Leinster
6. Which (if any) of our players will make the final 6Nations Squad? If that means final 23 probably nobody. Could have a strong representation in extended squad and A team form, injury and Kidney picking on form permitting!

8. Top Points scorer of the season? Dan Parks
9. Biggest improvement of the season? More in hope than expectation I'll say Jarvis, plenty of candidates here

10. Biggest disappointment of the season? Not beating Ulster away

1. What position will Connacht finish in the Pro12? 6th: ahead of Zebre, Treviso, Munster, Glasgow, Cardiff, and Llanelli.
2. How far will Connacht go in the HC? First round exit with 13-15pts.
3. Our player of the Season? Dan Parks.
4. Our flop of the Season? I worry about Faloon getting gametime if Eoghan Grace starts well.
5. Biggest home crowd of the season (which opponent?) Harlequins in the HEC
6. Which (if any) of our players will make the final 6Nations Squad? McCarthy, and possibly Loughney and Muldoon.

8. Top Points scorer of the season? Dan Parks.
9. Biggest improvement of the season? Dave Moore at No9.
10. Biggest disappointment of the season? The away HEC games just don't fall right this year.

2. How far will Connacht go in the HC? 3rd in group; 3 wins + 2 LBP + 1 TBP = 15 points
3. Our player of the Season? Muldoon to be back to his barnstorming peak
4. Our flop of the Season? Could well be Parks if he gets plagued by injuries and can't work with what's shaping up as an exciting and young backline
5. Biggest home crowd of the season (which opponent?) Pro12: Leinster, HEC: Biarritz
6. Which (if any) of our players will make the final 6Nations Squad? McCarthy will hold tackle bags, Loughney and Wilkinson in the hunt for gametime, O'Halloran as the surprise package. Muldoon to be shafted by having to accommodate Ferris, O'Brien and Heaslip in the back row
7. Shock of the season? Qualifying for the HC by finishing ahead of Munster in the league. Landsowne Road to start spitting feathers. This all causes a financial crisis in Limerick where the mortgage repayment on Thomond is missed again.
8. Top Points scorer of the season? Overall: Nikora; Tries: Vainikolo
9. Biggest improvement of the season? Denis Buckley, building on last year
10. Biggest disappointment of the season? Personally, it's highly unlikely I'll make an away HEC game due to the calendar
