No

Cronulla is pretty close, dont know about that Bench however.
Souths is pretty close, but im not sure Farah will be dropped for round 1, i personally think it will be a little later.
Penrith, well, I would need to see a pic of Peachey to see if he plays on the bench or starts at center. But that does look like a good team.
Didnt look at others cause i dont really care about them.

On a slightly related note the new NRL.com format is f**king awful. The site is so hard to navigate now. I hope they didn't pour too much money into that monstrosity.

they moved away from Telstra..... yes something digital is worse than telstra.

 

[Canard]

That website is a hate crime.

$100M well spent.

 

[Perth Red]

Some big name movements for next season, I wonder which signing is going to offer the most in 2018 to their new club? The contenders:

James Graham - Dragons
Ben Hunt - Dragons
Jordan McLean - Cowboys
Blake Green - Warriors
James Maloney - Panthers
Dane GaGai - Souths
Mitchell Pearce - Knights
Kalyan Ponga - Knights
Josh Reynolds - Tigers
Cooper Cronk - Roosters
James Tedesco - Roosters
Jack Bird - Broncos
Keiran Foran - Bulldogs
Jarryd Hayne- Eels

Lets hope its not a prelude to the next 5 years of digital "investment"!

I've got my fingers crossed for Hunt, Green and Pearce to do well
Maloney, McLean, Teddy, Cronk and GaGai should each be a lay down misere
Graham will add more than expected, Hayne and Foran less
Ponga and Bird will need to show as much heart as their wallet does fullness

I also hope Croft considers himself a new signing . . . he's the one I wonder about the most

Couple other big names moved that you missed.
Sam Kasiano - Storm
Tohu Harris - Warriors
Matt Moylan - Sharks

I think Tohu Harris will be the best buy of the year. Great player.

 

[shaggs]

And duges to cronulla

 

[King hit]

The Broncos team looks pretty accurate. They will be competitive and will make the top 8 but I feel that they lack the thing to take them the whole way. Nikorima will badly need to step up this year.

 

[The Vaulting Violinist]

A few quick thoughts

If the sharks forwards hold up (dads army) the backline is scary good.

The dogs have Frawley and Foran in the halves. We are doomed

Fitzgibbon not in the starting 17 for knights? Yeh ok....sounds legit

I’m not so sure about the knights improvements, they’ve bought a couple of pea hearts

The storm without Cronk will be interesting. I think they’ll slide a little

I like the experience the warriors have bought. They’ll top 8 imo

Eels will implode. Too many egos there

Roosters deserved favourites

Tigers will be competitive, a lot more than people think

Overall it’s shaping up as a much more event year. Only the titans and dogs look like duds

 

[Silent Knight]

My team is pretty much on the mark except that Lachlan Fitzgibbon should come in for Brock Lamb on the bench. I don't really hold with having a half utility on the bench because Brock Lamb could realistically only fill in at either 5/8 or HB and I don't believe the coach should be looking at moving the spine players around midway through a match. Especially when you consider we have a new young spine and they will need time to gel - they need stability.

would sezer foran look much better? who would you be prepared to give up (realistically, not greg leper eastwood) to make that happen?

 

[Iafeta]

Iirc it had Gerard Beale on our round one team sheet. .... who is out with a broken leg.

 

[Haffa]

GaGai should each be a lay down misere

LOL

 

[ed-grimley]

How good is Ponga - I can't say I've seen him play more than 30 minutes and he looked about 16 yo.

Manly's 6-10 is funny

Lachie
Daly
Marty
Api
Darcy

That's all I have to add
