2009 Crystal Ball - 10 Prediction Questions

[Franko]

I'm not sure about all these early tips but i think the Sharks are the team to beat next year. Great year this year and with the addition of Barrett and Tupou hard to see them not being a major player.

Glen Stewart or Chris Heighington to play Origin.

Oh you mean the premiership halfback in 1999?

I don't expect him to deliver us a premiership but you can't deny his great form in 2008 and he's surely got to be better than the Holdsworth/Roberts combo...

kimmorley - hahahahahahaha

I wonder how long that attitude will last after a month or 2 of Trent Barret....
