Hmmm...

I suppose...

O2E

3 10+ (I was tempted to go with just 2...)

54 total wins for the year.

[Washuyama 641]

O1W

2

56-60 (I'm guessing 55 or 56)

[Asojima 2,874]

O2e

2

47

His two kadoban will cut his win total.

[Oshirokita 188]

O1w

63

[Treblemaker 254]

He's plateau-ed. Barring injuries to Hak and other Ozeki, and now with 2 new ones, and Baruto finally coming into his own, I don't see HF rising about EO1 at any time in the next 12 months.

[Kotoviki 16]

I too wonder about his future.. I say Ozeki 1 W next January

3 basho with two wins and about 50-60 wins.

FWIW at the Yokozuna soken he didn't do any keiko at all, just gave advice to Kakuryu who was "pinch hitting" for him with the Ozeki group while he looked on from the sides. He looked as if he's lost a good amount of weight, upper body and legs. (this was not only me but other with me mentioned it as well) I am worried about him but haven't decided yet to call his tsukibito and ask him if the boss is ok or not!...

[Asashosakari 19,306]

O2e/3/51-55

[kuroimori 1,634]

I wish and hope for him that he can come back from this cancer scare (,return to ama-esque sumo again...) and keep his ozeki rank.

O2w

2 KK with 10+ wins

53 total wins in 2012

[Vikanohara 171]

O2W

3x 10+ (8-7, 9-6, 9-6, 10-5, 10-5, 12-3)

56-60 wins (58)

[Jejima 1,384]

Poll closing...

One brave sole thinks that Harry will get his tsuna - and one player thinks he will sink to Juryo! The rest of us place him as an Ozeki, mostly on the second tier of Ozekiness.

80% of us think that he will only achieve 10+ wins in 2 or 3 of his basho.

70% of us think he will end up with between 51 and 60 wins throughout the year.

Hi record for 2012 was:-

Jan - 11-4

Mar - 11-4

May - 8-7

Jul - 15-0 Y

Sep - 15-0 Y

Nov - 9-6

His rank on the Jan 2013 banzuke will be Y1W (as predicted by one anonymous.)

He had four 10+ bashos (10% correct).

He had a total of 69 wins throughout the year - so in the 66-70 bracket (predicted by one anonymous).

Oshirokita wins the yusho for this poll also.
