A little something i'd like to do to see who people think will have big and disappointing years. Try not to show too much bias ;-)

Dally M Winner: Benji Marshall
Dally M Runner Up: Todd Carney
Coach of the Year: David Furner
Rookie of the Year: Some Storm winger/centre who scores heaps of tries.
Comeback Player of the Year: Matt Orford
Prelim Final 1: Raiders vs Warriors
Prelim Final 2: Roosters vs Tigers
Grand Final Matchup and Winner: Roosters vs Raiders (Roosters Win)
Biggest Surprise Team: Sharks
Biggest Disappointment Team: Souths (again)
Biggest Breakout Player: Tim Moltzen
Biggest Bust Player: Robert Lui
First Coach Fired: Neil Henry
Top Try Scorer: Blake Ferguson

Other Predictions:
+ Pearce dominates Orford in the City/Country game, enforcing himself as NSW's premier half option.
+ Soward gets injured in the first five rounds when he finally tries to make a tackle
+ Hayne is snubbed from Origin as the Eels struggle
+ NSW win Origin, Dugan/Carney/Pearce are amazing.
+ Lockyer announces this is his final year playing Rep Footy
+ Sharks just miss out on the 8.
+ Souths come 11th
+ Eels get the wooden spoon, Daniel Mortimer is playing park footy at the end of the year.

Season predicitons

  • 16 teams will compete in the NRL this season, some more successfully than others
  • Points will be scored, usually by virtue of tries, penalty goals or conversions. Occasionally field goals will be kicked.
  • A player upon kicking a 40/20 will jump in the air in triumph and a team mate will pat him on the back and possibly even ruffle his hair
  • A coach upon losing a game, will complain about the refereeing and point to one thing that went against his team whilst ignoring the three things that went in favour of his team that the other coach would have been pissed off about had they lost. We'll call this coach Des Hasler.
  • St George fans will develop an air of superiority which even outdoes their current attitude and the entire Illawarra region will likely disappear up one of their arses
  • Darrius Boyd will be an annoying f**kwit on the basis that he plays for St George and Queensland. f**k me.
  • Daniel Mortimer will not phone Tim Smith to ask for advice on becoming a Parramatta great
  • Daniel Mortimer may phone Tim Smith to ask where you go to sign on the dole
  • Jamie Soward, regardless of his ability on the field, will still look like a f**king dope when he prepares to kick goals
  • When Dallas Johnson's name is used by the Channel 9 team, someone somewhere will think of JR Ewing and then feel silly
  • No one will mention James McManus's name in relation to Origin
  • Sam Burgess when being interviewed will leave the interviewer with a confused look on their face
  • Someone will eventually ask Daly Cherry-Evans why the f**k he has three surnames and no first name
  • Mark Riddell will have an affair with a meat pie ..... or thirty
I might think of more later

Lambretta you forgot one...

Any tries scored by South’s backline will be celebrated with some ridiculous and over the top hand gesture.

Like the Burger King Whopper thing you mean?
I'm amazed Inglis can catch a ball the amount of those he does in a week!

They use them to help him practice catching the ball. They throw the Whoppers to him and he quickly learns how to catch them at any height or any angle.
