Shame we lost Roberts but I still think we should make the finals comfortably. Nabuli will score a heap, Soward will be one of the better halves in this format and Peachey/Cartwright will be almost unstoppable.

Shame we lost Roberts but I still think we should make the finals comfortably.

Bold prediction Umina. Couple of strong teams from 2013 in your pool & it's hard to know how it will play out.

Hope you are right though.

 

[This Year?]

The DUGANS will absolutely end themselves. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST.

 

[Cena]

Souths will win this pool

 

[dragonsman4eva]

Souths and melbourne have already stated they won't be taking there gun players over so dragons and penrith to go through

 

[wittyfan]

Dragons and Panthers will do it easily.

 

[Card Shark]

Souths and melbourne have already stated they won't be taking there gun players

Really, I didnt know that.

Guess until teams are announced, that's somewhat "here-say". The other clubs may do similar?

 

[Patorick]

Souths and melbourne have already stated they won't be taking there gun players over so dragons and penrith to go through

Even so mate, with this format so unknown, it's hard to say for sure.

Some of the nuffys may go way better at this level.

Pennies/Souths for me.

 

[GongPanther]

Teams have been instructed to take their strongest squad possible.

If any teams don't name players that should have been there and the next week they make a miraculous recovery,there'll be a lot to answer for...of course unless it's that lot from Melbourne...then it's OK....they've already got a rule change re Billy so why not press your luck?

 

[Titanic]

Panfers and Souff$ for mine

 

[Vic Mackey]

Panthers should shit this in with their backs. The storm will send a heap of unknowns, however it's the storm so in 5 years 4 of them will probably be origin players.

Can't see souths doing much, have shit backs as it is and inglis isn't going

Weak squad, as 1/2 expected. Which 1 of them is among the 5 highest paid players at the club?

Hoffman I suppose?

 

[ek999]

I would guess Hoffman.

Good squad they might make a good go of it

 

[wittyfan]

Witty's conversions could give the Dragons the edge!

 

[BranVan3000]

Rabbitohs:
1. Merrit
2. Champion
3. Johnston
4. Reddy
5. Walker
6. Keary
7. Koroisau
8. Tyrell
9. Simone
10. Lowe
11. McQueen
12. Te'o (c)
13. Sutton
14. McInnes
15. Turner
16. Tuqiri

Really only our starting backrow going over, and probably still some competition in the backs

I'll be keen to see if Walker kills it in the halves though. More interested in watching some of the young talent
