(5)1. Dragons (Their suffocating defense is a timeless strategy, if they can pull it off next year, expect to see them in the grandfinal again)
(16)2. Titans (Matt Rogers is a big loss, but the titans seem to be getting better, and i don't expect that to change)
(4)3. Tigers (i love the freeflow style of footy the tigers bring, and with 2-3 x-factor players, they could well be higher)
(6)4. Warriors (When their defense gelled this year, they excelled, and with the addition of Feleti Mateo to their pack, and his freakish offloads, i think the warriors will do great next year)
(3)5. Broncos (Greg Inglis and Justing Hodges in the centres, but with lockyer starting to die off, this is the highest i could put them)
(8)6. Knights (The knights back row is amazing, even the mad dog, if Gidley starts next year in the halves rather than Fullback, knights should make top 8)
(10)7. Rabbitohs (Their attack is so potent it could well wipe any team away, but mix that in with a near 1:1 try ratio, it is no wonder they drop so low. Muscle up in defense and the bunnies could be a force)
(1)8. Storm (Unfortunately, i can see it taking a while for our new side to gel, but when we do it will be the storm we (the Fans) love to see and everybody else hates)
(14)9. Eels (another mid season run cut short)
(2)10. Manly (pfft)
(13)11. Sharks
(7)12. Cowboys
(15)13. Raiders (poor poor campese)
(12)14. Panthers
(11)15. Roosters
(9)16 . Bulldogs (smelly bulldogs)
the whole bottom 8 is interchangeable, coz i doubt the roosters will go to fifteenth, but i expect them to "parramatta" 2011
Melbourne and Dragons Grand Final. That would be a battle for the ages. No 30 points in this game
