How good would it be to see the cheating purple dicks miss the top 8 for the first time in 20 years.... unfortunately I dont see it happening. This is how the top8 will look in 2020:

1) Roosters
2) Storm
3) Manly
4) Bulldogs
5) Panthers
6) Dragons
7) Tigers
8) Cowboys

Grand final to be Storm vs Roosters, with the roosters getting a 3-peat.

My team Wests Tigers will finish 9th again.

Probably after losing a must win last game of the season by 30 points..

I’d like to see the Titans do better. Not saying I want them to set the world on fire, just be better than the shit they’ve dished up for the last few years.

I love how your optimism ends at Mary getting punted. Don’t reckon there’ll be a form turn-around with a caretaker coach?

Mary is a representation of the problems at the Dragons, not the problem himself. He will be replaced by someone else like him.

No, because Mary will probably get the punt when the spoon is confirmed in.possibly rd 24 or 25. Avoiding the spoon would be a win from my perspective. In every cloud there is a silver lining :)

Saints will probably start the season well and everybody on LU will troll Saints fans by suggesting that Mary should get an extension. And the club will probably do it.

Grand Finalists : Manly vs Eels

9's Winner : Either Broncos or Eels
NRLW Grand Finalists and Winner : Broncos (w) and Dragons

Dally M : Luke Keary
Rookie of the Year : Tommy Talau (aka the bloke from my team)
Top Try Scorer : Brett Morris
Best Buy : Adam Doueihi

First Coach to get the flick : Kearney or Mary, 100% one of them
First Scandal : Curtis Scott to get tasered by the magistrate for trying to roundhouse kick him
First Media muppet to nominate a player as a SOO bolter : Buzz surely
Which Round : 2
Which player will prove the Captain's Call was a really bad move : Scameron

SOO Winners : NSW

Your Team : Wests Tigers
Your Teams chances in 2020 : As of 3 weeks ago, bleak, however some good purchases have bolstered the team and if they gel and we stay injury free, then most likely we’ll finish 9th yet again.

1 Melbourne
2 Parramatta
3 South Sydney
4 Canberra
5 Sydney
6 Manly
7 Newcastle
8 Wests

9 Cronulla
10 North QLD
11 Brisbane
12 Penrith
13 Canterbury
14 Gold Coast
15 St George-Illawarra
16 New Zealand

I think a lot of clubs have made really good offseason moves. The top 8 will be extremely high quality this year. Manly and Parra are primed to make some serious claims, Storm will be as good as ever, there's no reason for Raiders or Souths to shift too much but Roosters will come back to the pack a little. Recipe for some quality football.

Dally M: Shaun Johnson
Rookie: idk
Top Try Scorer: Daniel Tupou
Best buy: BJ Leilua

Coach flicked: Kearney. But smokey for Green if Cows don't improve significantly.

SOO: NSW 3peat baby

I'm starting to think the Tits might actually avoid the spoon this year. It's a long shot to be sure, but I am just not impressed by that Dogs side in the slightest, and I think it's more likely than not that Dean Pay will prove to be a nuffy coach as well. The Eels and Sharks battle for 8th will be a knifes edge, and you could easily interchange them depending on how F/A works out.

That’s just the club trolling us and showing everyone on LU how it’s done.
