Sharks will be a top four team this year imo.

I can't do a ladder for the life of me. The only team I can't see missing the 8 are Melbourne. The other 7 could be any of the other 15 teams.

I spent 2 hours this arvo righting up a detailed description of my ladder complete with reasons why I chose as I did, then when I went to post it told me the thread had moved and I lost the whole bloody lot. Then I spent another 1 hour tonight typing up a another detailed response (not as detailed as this arvo) to my choices for it to bloody happen again with me losing everything I typed again. So stuff yas, I'm just going to give you my table with no explanation whatsoever.

1. Melbourne Storm
2. Sea Eagles
3. Parra Eels
4. NQ Cowboys
5. NZ Warriors
6. Wests Tigers
7. Brisbane Broncos
8. Sydney Roosters

9. Souths Sydney Rabbitohs
10. St George Dragons
11. GC Titans
12. Penrith Panthers
13. Newcastle Knights
14. Canberra Raiders
15. Canterbury Bulldogs
16. Cronulla Sharks

Even though no team in the comp really deserves favorite to be wooden spoon, I just felt the Sharks showed the least spark out of the lot.

Melbourne Storm are morals to make it back to back titles with a nearly flawless team. They are streets ahead of everyone in consistency and attacking brilliance.

Bit of spare time up my sleeve so i thought it would be interesting to compile the pics everyone has made(yeah, i know..nerd) and come up with a final ladder based on those results.

To get a full 1 - 16 selection i only included those that did full pics from 1 - 16. There we're over 80 selections to compile results from and interestingly 60% chose Melbourne to finsh first.

So this is how the final ladder ended up.

1. Melbourne
2. Manly
3. Cowboys
4. Warriors
5. Eels
6. Bronco's
7. Roosters
8. Rabbito's
9. Sharks
10. Bulldogs
11. Dragons
12. Panthers
13. Titans
14. Tigers
15. Knights
16. Raiders (suprising as i felt they have been pretty stable and building over the last few seasons, and have a bit of continuity.)

I can't see Manly coming second. Or Raiders finishing last.

But the rest of that, looks very possible.

and your reason behind the tigers being so high?

The Dragons look a different side with Gaz there. Ryles is coming off his best season imo, Creagh was very unlucky not to get a rep jersey and with Cooper off contract expect a big season for him. Their halves are coming along great.. I think they'll give the semi-finals a shake with a bit of luck. Maybe they'll perform better with no-one rating them?

The odds at Knights missing the top 8, are far greater then the odds at Raiders finishing dead last. And Manly finishing second. :p

Are you aware that the Sharks last year actually had a better for-and-against differential than the Cowboys, Dogs, Rabs & Broncs (all who made the 8) AND that just a single extra goal in 4 of their matches (hell even a field goal in regular time, if they could ever learn how to kick them) would've had them finish 4th.

They may not have the 'spark' to get the monkey off their back but I reckon they're extremely long odds for another pot stirrer.
