2018 Top 8 flops

[Pennies]

Happens every year.
Who won't make the 8 from last years top 8?
Usually 1 or 2 from the previous season don't make it back the following year.

Last year's 8
Melbourne
Roosters
Brisbane
Parramatta
Cronulla
Manly
Penrith
North Qld

I say Brisbane out

Saints in.
Penrith better watch themselves they also could drop down the ladder with all their pre season troubles.

 

[Roosters rule]

Sharks out

 

[King hit]

Cronulla might drop but I don't think it will be a major drop. Maloney has been such a big part of their success and can't see Townsend bringing them home like Maloney did. 5th to 8th. They still have a good side.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Penrith out, Manly barely in 8th, Merge in to 7th

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

Donkeys out.....Saints in

 

[Valheru]

Penrith, manly and sharks are big dangers and maybe broncos but i expect them to stay

 

[Rabbit toes]

Brisbane and Penrith, eels to slide to 8th

 

[carcharias]

Panthers are one injury to Maloney and they’re screwed.

 

[The Vaulting Violinist]

Eels will implode with f**k stick there

 

[macavity]

Manly out, Newcastle in

/homer

Panthers have the worst coach out of all of those.

 

[JD359]

Manly & possibly Penrith for mine
Tigers, 'dogs & Titans to push for the 2 spots if both the above miss

 

[WellsNZ]

Manly out for St Merge.

 

[stryker]

Roosters. Too many big noters trying to be heros and theyll get in each other's road, especially the flog at the back.

 

[Diesel]

Manly and Penrith out

 

[macavity]

I don’t get the hype around St George. Lost their best player and picked up a washed up Pom and a bench hooker.

 

[beave]

Are we talking Nathan Hindmarsh/Corey Parker/Shane Webcke-esque tackling techniques in this thread or actual teams flopping??

I don’t get the hype around St George. Lost their best player and picked up a washed up Pom and a bench hooker.

Nah, we lost a slow fullback who can't pass. Gained a world class prop to add to an already outstanding pack and a quality halfback. Coach will be the biggest barrier to success.

 

[muzby]

roosters out.

salary cap scandal.
