POLL: Who will win the 2017 RLWC?

[TIM !!!!!!]

Sure, I'll have a go at guessing.

New Zealand, with a fit squad will be favourites I would imagine. Much will depend how Australia's Old Guard of Smith/Cronk/Inglis feel regarding their chances.

England? Will hold judgment til after the Four Nations. If they don't make the Final for that on home turf then I seriously doubt their ability to make a run of the WC.

Outside the Big 3, Samoa and Fiji will fight out for the final semi position.

 

[Pommy]

If Australia and NZ play the way they did in the ANZAC test and win this sport should give up.

 

[PaulyTom]

Samoa in a boilover

 

[Perth Red]

Until England can find a decent scrum half they've no chance. NZ losing Rona I think will hurt them, a lot will depend on the form of their starting 13 next season as they don't have quality of depth. Kangaroos will be interesting, if they go with the old timers it might back fire but are the next gen ready yet? Hard to see past a kangaroo win on home turf.

 

[Rhyno]

NZ.

Hoping England expect Australia. 4N this year will give an indication of what to expect

 

[Last Week]

I think Australia will win, and they're the deserved favourites. But this is the most open WC since 95 I believe. England have given themselves the nest opportunity to be successful with the development of their squad and having Wayne Bennett as coach is clever. The biggest problem for the Poms is they don't travel very well down here. I don't think they'll be as bad as 08, but I'm not expecting them to be as competitive as they were in 2013.

NZ will compete. I have them a bee's dick behind Australia. Their halves will be interesting.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Don't know why there's more than three options.

Nu Brown will lead Samoa to glory, overcoming Mitch Moses' plucky Lebanon outfit in the GF...
