Good bump, here were my thoughts:
Accidentally Onside wrote: 1. What position will Connacht finish in the Pro12?
[/b]8th
We're unlucky in that, for me, the teams ahead of us are getting worse (but are still better than us....excluding Glasgow who look very strong next year) and the teams around us and immediately behind us are getting better. I don't see where the improvement will come from us over last year, and Edinburgh looked a much much better team in the second half of last season add in to the that a settled Scarlets team and a Cardiff team that just can't be that bad again and I think we will need to move forward just to stand still

2. How far will Connacht go in the Amlin?
Lose an away semifinal.
3. Our player of the Season?
Buckley
4. Our flop of the Season?
.....ummmmm.........Aki if he continues his form from late last season, could be our player of the season if he continues his early season form
5. Biggest home crowd of the season (which opponent?)
Munster.
6. Which (if any) of our players will make the final 6Nations Squad?
Henshaw. Bolters of: Buckley and Masterson.
7. Shock of the season?
Edit: beating Leinster in Dublin.
For the league: I think Munster will struggle, as will Ulster until they replace Doak who is stealing a living
8. Top Points scorer of the season (Tries, and Total)?
Tries: Matt Healy. Points: Ronaldson
9. Biggest improvement of the season?
Dillane looks better every week
10. Biggest disappointment of the season?
Not being given the resources to push on with what is a really solid competitive squad. Put 2 players of real quality in there and we'd be troubling 5/6th. I'd expect continued player drain at the end of this season too we could see headliners such Marmion, Cooney and Henshaw go
Long story short: it's good that I don't gamble as I would be rubbish at it
Only things I got right were Dillane as our most improved (Finlay could argue this) and the points and try scorers, I had Bundee as our flop ffs

Was right about Dillane too, ok for Healy best scorer, and Challenge Cup home semi is still possible.Aki was wisely enough my player of the season. I've said we'd lost Ulster home and Robbie to Dublin.
So glad though we can't finish 8th of the league anymore!

Bump, now that the regular season is over.
Seems a few people predicted Dillane to do good things this season, and one person even mentioned Masterson
Another posted that we'd do the double over an Irish team - kudos to you
No one I think, expected us to finish in the top 4, nevermind 2nd
Lots of expectations for Carty as well.
One poor poster also thought Bundee could be our flop of the season (they did also say he could potentially be our player of the season)
No talk of Finlay at all.
