Last week I gave you The Power's league cup group predictions, so for what they are worth here goes some predictions for League divisions..
Division 1:
Eagles: Defending champions, without Danny Evans and what seemingly is going to be a regularly absent Kyle Pickett. Ego's will have to go some if they are to retain their title.
Hot Shots: Last seasons runners up. Rod & Sean will have to win the games if they are to threaten the Ego's & Prop. Losing the stable middle order & what was the backbone of the side will cost them.
Propeller: New signings of real quality and for the first time in a long while must start this season as hot favourites to win the 1st division. All the pressure on them to do it though.
Patriots: Took the Knockout Cup last season, plus made the quarters in the league cup, and have a decent squad. Whether they can produce enough top performances over 22 games has to be a doubt.
Cuemasters: Signed a few Coney players to stabilise the night's they fail to show up with a full squad. Top half finish at best, and will need to travel better than in the past.
Farley Eden: Big squad of players, and we will need to find some consistency if we are to be a threat. On our day can beat anyone.
Bloodhounds: Did well to keep their division 1 status last season and have dipped into the transfer market with success. Top half finish is a big possibility.
Unpredictables: Double summer champions. Struggled the last 3 seasons to stay up in the winter. Will the bubble burst or can they build on the summer success and be serious contenders.
Legion: Home advantage used to be massive for them before the move to Rileys. Went down in the Summer campaign. Have the likes of Brooker & Taylor who will need to win the games to keep them up.
The Jolly: Did well to stay up in the Summer, but this is the Winter version and its tougher. Not an easy place to travel to and will need to win a big percentage of their home games if they are to survive.
Pond Q's: Can Pat keep them up? Well he won't if he plays. Had one good season in Div 1, but apart from that have yoyo'd between the top flight and division 2. Should stay up.
London Snooker: Shuffled up as last seasons 4th place Div 2 side due to the demise of the Coney Cues. This is surely a leap too far for them and is going to be tough and they will start firm favourites for the drop.
Div 2:
Rack Pack must be favourites for an immediate return to the top flight, main danger coming from Warbank.
Winners: Rack Pack
Runners Up: Warbank
Promoted: The Warriors
Relegated: The Seamen, SAS, Coach & Horses
Div 3:
Looks a good division and 4/5 sides could win this. Think the Elmer have the experienced players.
Winners: Elmer Cuemasters
Runners Up: Jolly Sailor
Promoted: Goodfella's
Relegated: Langley Park Sports, Penge Con Club, The Goodies
Div 4:
Our stable mates must be firm favourites.
Winners: Farley Big Potatoes
Runners Up: Thicket Tavern
Promoted: Farley Small Potatoes
Relegated: Stelfs, The William, Waddon Hounds
Div 5: Flick a coin.

We have a potential new signing to add to our squad, but without Danny and Kyle, I think your assessment of us is bang on.
If Morray plays home and away it will be a massive bonus to the Prop, but if he doesnt then whilst they will obviously be in the mix I wouldnt necessarily put them down as massive favourites.
Heard a few rumours about the Hotshots having a pretty much full strength side, within a few weeks of the start of the season, and if they arent too far away at the miid point of the season I have them as favourites this year.
The Unpreds have to be brimming with confidence but I still dont see them doing better than 3rd, if one of the usual suspects has a bit of a mare which is quite probable.
