2009 Crystal Ball - 10 Prediction Questions

[Timmah]

Why are so many going for Covell as LPS?

The only reason he got it this year is because Hazem missed about 6-7 weeks through injury.

Why are so many going for Covell as LPS?

The only reason he got it this year is because Hazem missed about 6-7 weeks through injury.

Covell was in poor form in general and with the boot till around the middle part of the competition. Then he rocketed up the charts.

The radar will be back on next year!

 

[Garts]

I can not believe the amount of people tipping the Warriors as premiers. Still lacking class in the halves next year to mount a serious challenge.

I think Witt would be a leading contender for LPS if he were to play as many games as he could for the Warriors. However in two seasons he has been unable to cement his place in the halves, and with more players coming to the club, this could be clouded even further. His form isn't good enough to warrant selection purely on goal-kicking.
