Cowboys, Tigers, Dragons or Warriors

Bulldogs have probably bought themselves off the bottom. Broncos should improve with Reynolds but if he goes down injured they are definitely in with a chance.

I'm going to go Tigers

I think the Tigers and Cowboys are good shouts

I've got my eye on the roosters though. Smokey imo.

Only thing that might save the tigers from getting it is their new assistant coach Nathan Cayless ( the next Craig bellamy)

Probably Tigers or Dragons based on recruitment, but I agree Newcastle wouldn't shock me (if Pearce leaves). I think they're still a bit stronger than bottom 4 but an injury to one or two forwards or the hit and miss bloke at the back and they could be in trouble.

Cowboys are in the mix too - for their sake I just hope they stick with Payten for a bit regardless. He's still struggling with the absolute disaster Paul Green left behind. His recruitment hasn't been great but as an Eels fan I understand exactly the issues with a club in the mess they're in. You almost have to take who you can get until things pick up

Payten is a weird one. PENRITH had a similar issue in the post Elliot years, we signed a bunch of average plodders who were highly experienced to give the young blokes time rather than rush them (one of those plodders is now responsible for one of the best defensive structures seen at NRL level though).

I agree with the sentiment that Payten needs time but the Chad signing does my head in. Three years on big money for a player barely first grade standard.

It'll be a criple fight between Saints, Cows & Tigers. I reckon Bulldogs will still be down the bottom of the ladder, Barrett is a terrible coach. The major smokey is Canberra.
