(theyll have a run when all their players return from injury, i went thru their soft draw and they made it to finals easy, even winning some games i didn't account for (roosters, raiders)

Cowboy and Eels could come good, although too inconsistent this year in comparison to those 8

Probably going to regret doing this right before proper trials are played but

1. Storm
2. Panthers
3. Roosters
4. Souths
5. Sharks
6. Cowboys
7. Broncos
8. Dogs

9. Eels
10. Raiders
11. Manly
12. Tigers
13. Knights
14. Warriors
15. Titans
16. Dolphins
17. Dragons

Notes
- Dogs biggest riser
- Eels/Dragons biggest drops
- I wouldn't be surprised if my team (Knights) came anywhere 10th - 17th. Actually all of 11 - 17th feels like a crapshoot
- Despite being shit Dragons usually manage to beat the other shit teams so probably not the best spoon choice but it'd be funny
oof
Roosters, Cowboys, Dogs trash. Sharks not far behind.
Eels will end up in the 8
Warriors and Dolphins the biggest changes from bottom 8
Good pick so far for my own team, in the exact same position currently. I know my Knights.

You shouldn’t be too critical of some of your picks Apey; I think there was a fair bit of hype for the Roosters, Cows and Dogs before the season started. I definitely had the first two in my mental 8. But the Dogs have probably been the hardest done by; while Ciraldo has made some rookie coaching errors (uncertainty about his halves is the major one) the Dogs have played well by and large but have had a shocking run with injuries.

Think Dolphins lucky to miss out. Manly and Roosters could make a run but can't see it happening. Warriors a smokey for the top 4 given their draw in the last 6 weeks

warriors remaining draw:

Dragons (A)
Rabbitohs (H)
Eels (A)
Sharks (H)
Raiders (H)
Bye
Titans (A)
Tigers (A)
Sea Eagles (H)
Dragons (H)

you’d think there’s at least 14 points in that lot, maybe more.

Roosters were in majority of people’s top 4. Way they are going the 8 will be a struggle. Dolphins have overachieved but may now fade with injuries.

parramatta is quietly doing pretty well, after the byes are complete they will end up comfortably in the 8

I think people underestimate the impact of losing Dylan Brown will have on Parramatta. I'd like to think they'll not win another game this year but that's unlikely. They will finish just inside or just outside the 8.

Looks like a different comp to the last 5 years , since the crazy ladder of 2018 first hasn’t lost more than 4 games , I think 1st will finish with 6 or 7 losses . Great to have an open comp after the storm/panthers dominance over last few years.
