1.Roosters (lost half there players and only gained 4 adn still they look even better
)
2.Penrith (if they keep there 17 on the field could be awesome)
3.Nth Qld (may have loss morrison/campion but they didnt really have them for most the year anyway)
4.Bulldogs (loss of price will hurt them but still a top 4 contender)
5.Dragons (too hard too predict seems like there reserve graders are better than there first graders sometimes)
6.Brisbane (no way im counting them out next season i did that this year and they finished top 3 :? )
7.Newcastle (still dunno if johns is healthy than they could be anywhere)
8.Melbourne (kearney will be a big loss but they have bought some good players)
9.Tigers (good team but a little young a lot will depend on our go forward lima/gibbs/jobson and merideth must step up)
10.Parra (i would have them up higher but they have no half combo)
11.Manly (have some great juniors should be in the 8 by 2006 now have a good half combo)
12.N.Z (will price and wiki be enough to help the kiwi's? i doubt it)
13.Cronulla (havent bought much at all still dunno if killmorley is the man for the job have a awesome forward pack stevens is ageing though)
14.Canberra (Matt Adamson and Jason Smith are not the answer withers is a great buy but if elliott plays him at half there could be some huge problems)
15.Souths (2006 could be the year for them will win more games than last year but will still struggle)
between 9-15 should be really close maybe only 6 points seperating them but the top 8 are still way too strong
i think the roosters will domminate again only to get beaten in the gf by either one of the other top 4 teams
