2009 Crystal Ball - 10 Prediction Questions

[Charlie124]

2009 NRL Premiers: Cowboys
2009 NRL Minor Premiers: Cowboys
2009 Wooden Spooners: Penrith
One player to make State of Origin Debut? Farah
State of Origin Series winners? QLD QLD 2 - NSW 1
Leading Try Scorer? Josh Morris
Leading Point Scorer? El Masri
Buy of the year? Gareth Ellis
Most improved team? Bulldogs (from spoon to top 8)
Yes/No - Souths to make the Top 8? No

So the Cowboys are going from equal last to minor premiers/premiers but are still not the most improved?

 

[Garts]

The Cowboys had potential last year but were screwed with injuries. I would not pick them for most improved based on that.
