With not much going on during the off season I thought I'd ask you guys to compile a list of 5 predictions for the pride of the league in 2017. Here are mine:

Robert Jennings to nail down a backline spot

Robbie Rochow to make a permanent move to the front row

Adam Reynolds to make Origin once again

Robbie Farah to guide the Rabbitohs to the finals

Rabbitohs to finish their season in the second week of finals

1. Our season will end in controversy in week 2 of finals with Cecchin.

2. AR, Farah and GI to play origin

3. Goodwin to play at least 14 matches.

4. Nielsen, Tyrrell, Turner and Kelly to prove they are duds.

5. S. Burgess to fire and eat up the metres.

Rochow is an edge runner same as Teo was he's no front rower that's just a plain straight out waste

3 Farah to have an awesome season and guide us into finals
4 Rochow to be a regular off the bench
5 the Burgess bros to all step up and make lots of metres and curb their mistakes to a minimum

Here's mine

1. Souths to make the 8
2. Farah to be one of the signings of the season.
3. GI to have a much improved season, an awesome season in fact!
4. Same as GI, the Burgess boys to get back to their barnstorming best.
5. Gray to play most of the season in the centre's.

do you think it might be:

left wing - AJ
left centre- Gray
right centre - Hunt
right wing - Jennings

???
To start the season I'd go:

Left wing - Goodwin(would prefer him in the centre's bit I want Gray there more).
Left centre - Gray
Right centre - Hunt
Right wing - Johnston

By the end of the season reckon Jennings would have replaced Goodwin on the left wing(sorry R20), others to remain the same.

Article on robbie rochow playing prop.
Articles says that out of his 73 games in first grade he has played almost entirely on the edge. He was forced there out of necessity.
Says that while he's stats were high, he thinks they were misleading, that he has work to do in defence and that kick off returns inflated his metreage
Also worth noting that rochow was named prop the next week, was injured and hasn't played first grade since.
So the evidence that rochow is a great prop is pretty limited.

Also a few Knights supporters honest opinion of him

I'd rather Hunt and Jennings in the centres so we have 2 centres who are big and fast, and Gray and AJ on the wings, who are good finishers. I think it would also be better for us in defense that Reynolds and Walker would both be positioned between a second rower and a big and fast centre.
