Just quickly...what is the main reason for so many people putting the dragons up the pointy end???

Probably gna be one of the worst rosters we have had this century (which still aint that bad)

But can a coach make that much difference in such a short period of time???

 

[petetheileet]

also...if one person has huge amounts of time on their hands and would do a great service...how awesome would it be to see and averaged out ladder for LU contributers????

the gun players from melbourne who were no names a few years ago will go back to being no names next season

realistically the dragons have a good team and shouldnt finish in the 4 but will be close..bennett cant have a team outside the 8 unless there is a bunch of completely hopeless players

Roster not much different maybe slightly weaker due to gasnier (who hasnt played much over the years )and ryles leaving, to this year, and the dragons should have finish in the top 4 this year but things didnt go there way, be interesting to see if they have change the way they come out at the beginning of the year with bennett. Instead of being the typical dragons as in the least 10 years

They should make the top 4 easy,

the team i am surprise people rate so highly is the sharks , i think they will struggle big time next year,

:? Based on what. I hate the f*ckers but I can see they have one of the strongest sides going around, and they've still got a brilliant coach in Stuart.

 

[Chook Norris]

they should be at least top 6

 

[cb4]

i think the team to struggle next year will be the broncos

Where are people pulling these opinions from? Try informing yourselves first...

Refresher course for you cb4:

1. Hunt
2. Manihera
3. Folau
4. Hodges
5. Robinson
6. Lockyer
7. Wallace

That's a rather formidable backline...

I agree CB4 is an idiot. He thinks david simmons is the best thing since sliced cheese. The broncos will be in the top six next year for sure. They've got over 8 queensland cup affiliates and brisbane to themselves, they are formidable.

i dont rate simmo at all, but he is better than your hacks, infact, he scored 2 tries on you guys this year

the broncos have a good backline for sure, no doubts, but hannat eastwood ennis n carrol gone, add to that wayne bennet departing n i think they will have a transition period in which they will need to re adjust

im not saying they wont be top 8, i just dont see them being as strong

n souffs will get the spoon in 09

Swap Manihera & Robinson for Steve Michaels & Yow Yeh and thats your backline

Titans kicked out pre-season?

 

[mxlegend99]

If the Broncos are lucky with injury and suspensions, they will be in the top 4 at the end of the season.

IMO they need to keep their centres and halves fit for the bulk of the year to do well. They've lost a fair bit of their depth from this season and ofcourse Wayne Bennett.
