Actuallyu, stranger things have happened. In 07, 2 losers from the prelim final didn't make it, plus on from week 3, and one from week 4. A repeat of that may see, Cronulla, Warriors, Brisbane and Saints miss the playoffs.

There is a chilling link between Brisbane 09 and Canterbury 08 in that both start the new season after an exodus of key forwards - although I don't think Brisbane will miss the cut.

1. Parra

14. Roosters
15. Bulldogs
16. Manly

Yes, us Manly supporters are not looking forward to another wooden spoon as we have so many :sarcasm::crazy:

 

[caylo]

I will have a honest go, but will aways be critized for being bias.

Brisbane
Manly
Sharks
Parramatta
New Zealand
Storm
Cowboys
St George

Newcastle
Titans
Canberra
Tigers
Roosters
Rabbitohs
Penrith
Bulldogs

 

[Timmah]

Not criticising for bias, but can you suggest why you think Parramatta can make the top four? Their form last year was ordinary and the only change is their coach, and the loss of a few players...

 

[Timmah]

Time for more re-evaluation...

1 Melbourne
You don't keep your core and drop spots.
2 Dragons
You don't get Wayne Bennett and not rise to supremacy.
3 Broncos
You don't mess with Izzy and Locky.
4 Knights
You don't know what the Knights will do... they're my dark horse for '09
5 Sharks
You don't buy Maitua. He slacks off. Dropping a few spots k plz
6 Bulldogs
You don't buy like we did and not improve
7 Manly
You don't lose Menzies and keep pace with the pack
8 Titans
You don't miss the finals again plz.

then...
9 Warriors
10 Roosters
11 Cowboys
12 Eels
13 Rabbitohs
14 Raiders
15 Panthers
16 Tigers

 

[Noa]

With not much thought outside the top 4, here go's.

1. Warriors
2. Storm
3. Manly
4. Broncos

5. Cowboys
6. Gold Coast
7. Raiders
8. Souths

9. Knights
10. Dragons
11. Cronulla
12. Parramatta
13. Roosters
14. Tigers
15. Panthers
16. Bulldogs.

Everyone can have a mulligan after round 1. Would there be any changes to your top 8.

Personally Id have the Raiders and the Titans out with the Dragons and the Bulldogs in.

 

[Timmah]

I personally think there is no way the 'Dogs will go b2b with the spoon.

 

[Shorty]

I'll update mine...
1.Warriors
2.Sharks
3.Dragons
4.Newcastle.
5.Melbourne
6.Manly
7.Cowboys
8.Titans

Would prob take Newcastle out and put Souths in there(though one game is hardly anything to gauge by).
Dragons are a little too high as are the Sharks.
Put Raiders and Dogs on the waiting list and that's the race for the 8 I think.

 

[Non Terminator]

I wouldn't change. Round one is way too early.

 

[_Johnsy]

the sharks nxt season will have a real shot at the premiership

Bump. Posted on 01-07-2008, had to laugh.

 

[Timmah]

Hey! Some of us need hope

1 Bulldogs

I might've been joking at the time... but

Dogs = Spoon

lololol

I will leave this forum at the end of Round 26 in 2009 if the Bulldogs finish last in that same year. 100% swear by it.

no need *breathes sigh of relief*

1.bulldogs


16.roosters

Highhly possible.

I hope to god that happens.

Nope.

Its great being hated....means we are strong again.

No cigar...

Bulldogs second!? Hahaha.

Where are we at the moment buddy?

we'll go better then the raiders next year..

Correct.

We will have to nominate someone with enough responsiblity to ressurrect this thread Aug/Sept '09 so we can all see just how far wrong we were.
Who could we entrust with such a job?

Doesn't matter who you entrust, Todger will do it anyway

aThankyou!

16. bulldogs

I love it when you're wrong

1-Manly wait and see
2-warriors no confident would not be a surprise to see them miss the 8 altogether
3-Dragons should improve by how much wait and see
4-Cowboys no injurys to certain players they will make the 8
5-Broncos same with the cowboys
6-goldcoast wait and see
7-Sharks risky to have them in the 8 but dont know who will replace them, similar to the bulldogs only one or two attacking players
8-knights not confident dont know who would replace them
9-storm Dont have the coach to come up with plans
10-roosters dont have an attacking halfback, will rely too much on anasta, and need a coach with more then the kick for a try plan
11-penrith cant see them being a threat
12-souths could be a surprise packet
13-raiders no
14-tigers no
15-eels superleague coaches dont have a good record when in the nrl
16-bulldogs cant see where the attack going to come from

Oh gaba gaba gaba....

With not much thought outside the top 4, here go's.

1. Warriors
2. Storm
3. Manly
4. Broncos

5. Cowboys
6. Gold Coast
7. Raiders
8. Souths

9. Knights
10. Dragons
11. Cronulla
12. Parramatta
13. Roosters
14. Tigers
15. Panthers
16. Bulldogs.

No chance!

You laughed when I tipped them to come last for this year and was wondering how people could think that...

What makes you confident for next year, it's not like the team is exactly 100% better..

SBW, Maitua, Hickey (prob gone for the year with neck problem), Tonga, Hughes all gone.

How do you like them apples hehehe

And we will hold you to it! Better start packing!

No suitcase necessary.

What about you ponying up? If the dogs don't finish last, then you don't return to the Dogs forum. I think that's a fair deal!

As if he would ever honour anything like that lol

 

[Monk]

:lol: timmah, you had to do it.

 

[Timmah]

Couldn't help it

 

[Ausguy]

dear oh dear....

Timmah wat have you just done to your team???

This could turn ugly, like the GF tickets thread in the Dragons forum....

 

[skeepe]

Timmah get a f**king life you moron. Nobody gives a sh*t.

 

[ramble_on]

Timmah get a f**king life you moron. Nobody gives a sh*t.

carry on...

 

[Ausguy]

further to my post... i think the dragons will make it to the GF(good coach, good team).... but if i was a supporter of theirs id hang anyone who suggested it out loud
