2019 Ladder Predictions

[Clem Gould]

Sliders
Pennies - Way too many coaches at that club
Bronx -way too many high priced duds and so few leaders
Risers
TItans Tigers Cows These three clubs look the best chance.
Left the Newcs out as Roster roundabout factor might take another year

Roosters
Dragons
Sharks

Yep

Val and Luke Lewis have been the sharks best attacking weapons. Losing them both and keeping Gallen will shift them even further back into the grinding style.

They had that record breaking NYC side 2 years ago yet the only guy they brought into first grade was Jesse Ramien and now he’s gone.

Flanagan’s reluctance to try anything new or blood any young players will catch up with them big time this year IMO

Well katoa got injured in his first game

 

[Slackboy72]

I have no f**king idea on how next year will go, none of us do obviously. I just have improvers, about the same and sliders.

Improvers:
Bulldogs, Tigers, Raiders, Manly & Newcastle

About the same
Dragons, Roosters, Storm, Eels, Rabbitohs & Titans

Sliders
Penrith, Cowboys, Warriors, Broncos & Sharks

My guess at a ladder
Top 3
Rabbitohs
Roosters
Storm

In contention for the 8
Dragons
Tigers
Manly
Sharks
Newcastle
Warriors
Broncos
Raiders
penriff (sorry)
Bulldogs

Cellar dwelling
Eels
Titans
Cowboys

 

[Rhino_NQ]

So you think the Warriors are in contention for the 8 twice?

Sorry one of those should be penriff. I got confused by the look-a-like jerseys.

Knights
Raiders
Sharks
Tigers
Warriors
Eels
Dogs
Manly

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

It is all idle speculation. The Roosters will win it with their eyes closed, assuming the Big Five -- Cronk, Keary, Tedesco, Mitchell and Manu -- stay fit.

Hard to argue considering they must be $2 million over the cap.

That is neither our home or away Jersey.

Cronk needs to get fit before he can stay fit.

Well he did say he was confused. At least he got that right.

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

Cronk needs to get fit before he can stay fit.

Cronk's surgery was successful. He will be ready to go in March.

Good to hear.

 

[grouch]

1. Roosters
2. Souths
3. Panthers
4. Storm
5. Knights
6. Cowboys
7. Warriors
8. Broncos

spoon: Dogs

 

[The Charlatan]

Roosters, Storm, Souths and Panthers are probably the only real certainties for the 8 I believe.

I reckon up to seven other teams are thereabouts to be fighting it out for the remaining four spots in the eight in the Broncos, Manly, Dragons, Newcastle, Wests, Cronulla & the Warriors.
