Predictions

[Chimp]

Most teams manage the season in chunks, and with the 'pre-origin' section almost over, just wondering, having seen how the teams have gone so far, who are people's predictions for the Minor Premiers, Wooden Spooners, Dally M and for 2018 Premiers?

Mine are;
Minors - Sharks
Spooners - Knights
Dally M - Smith
Premiers - Sharks

I'm letting my heart rule my head, but I just think the Sharks, despite turning over plenty of ball, giving away plenty of penalties and generally inviting teams to beat them, have still had too much in the tank, and could easily have been undefeated - in all 3 losses the Sharks bombed plenty of chances that could have seen them win the games.
If they're playing as poorly as they have and are still up the top, god help teams if they click as they did in the Finals last year.

Minor: Storm
Spoon: Tigers
Dally M: who cares. Not sure some of the judges even watch the games
Premiers: Storm

As usual a lot will depend on injuries and origin. But all things being equal Storm are the best team.

Newcastle the obvious spoon pick but the Tigers are right in it. They seem fairly broken with all the changes

Cronulla I think will go back to back.
Knights the spoon.

Minor prems - probably storm, but irrelevant.
Dally M is a joke.

The team that wins the Shield will once again be the best team of the year . . . you could throw a burka over what happens after that, never know what you're going to get

Yeah I was thinking that too but I picked the penguins because of Crosby
