2024 Ladder predictions

[JamesRustle]

1. Roosters - Stacked.
2. Souths - Probably too high, but just got a feeling in my lower bowel.
3. Panthers - Out in straight sets though, so suck on that.
4. Cowboys - Aberation last year, think they will go well.
5. Warriors - Usually go alright for 2-3 seasons then tank for 5-6 seasons.
6. Storm - merkins are always up there.
7. Broncos - Lost about 25% of the GF team. Kev can't fluke another top 4 result.
8. Titans - They due.
9. Sharks - This feels about right for one of the baldest coached teams, and f**k me, they deserve to be lower after blowing a decade of easy draws.
10. Eels - This feels about right for one of the baldest coached teams.
11. Knights - Pongy will not back up his last half of 2023 effort.
12. Manly - Will look good until Seibs screws the pooch with some whacky game plan or training regime or Turbo's hamstrings turn to dust.
13. Dragons - Need to show some grit and not need to use their (lack of) depth.
14. Bulldogs - Nope. Bought not bred go go f**k themselves.
15. Dolphins - Will be like a fish out of water in their 2nd year.
16. Tigers - Benji will be bald by round 3.
17. Raiders - Ricky's intensity is overdue to blow up a season.

Cody to throw an intercept in the GF to gift the Roosters the premiership in a firey chapter in the Book of Feuds.

 

[Black Panther]

That is the worst attempt I have ever seen.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

You’re right, he has the Raiders way to high.

13. Bulldogs
14. Raiders
15. Knights
16. Dragons
17. Tigers

Places 4-12 could be very tightly split, and open to the fact both Knights and Dogs could push their way into that fight too.
For me it’s split into 3 groups this year;

top - Roosters, Panthers, Bronx (wouldn’t be surprised to see 1 of Panthers and Bronx fall this year)

middle - everyone else

bottom - Raiders, Dragons, Tigers and think Knights may slip into this fight

Yes I know its terrible. But without fear or favour, I make my choice as there will always be knee jerk reactions. What can one do?

 

[Apey]

I forgot to do it before season kick-off but oh well.

Picking a spoon team this year was more difficult.

isn’t this virtually 2023s ladder?

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Jason Saab has been sacrificed to the Hamstring Gods so Turbo will have a career season.

 

[Apey]

isn’t this virtually 2023s ladder?

It's similar yeah.

I know the top 8 usually changes by 2 - 3 teams but I couldn't pick a 2nd. Souths and Raiders swap in and out of the 8. I have Souths just making it because their backline is plod central until they get some players back.

I'd probably drop Knights if I were to pick a 2nd team to switch out the 8 so that might be some bias. Hard to know if we build on last year or revert to usual programming.

I have the Dogs, Dragons and Tigers improving but I'm not sure it's enough to take them too far up the ladder. I don't see where the Titans will improve so thats why they got overtaken by those 3 teams.

Roosters up 4 spots, Storm down 2 - so that's a top 4 change.

Similar in the sense the groupings of 4/5 (top 4, bottom 4/5 etc) would be nearly identical, but not the same order.

Prediction 2024 NRL season
WOODEN spoon
Titans
Dragon's
Rabbitohs
Tigers
Bulldogs

 

[Twizzle]

they cant all win the spoon

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Titans are my pick

 

[wittyfan]

Titans, however Rabbitohs are a possibility.

 

[Someone2]

Tigers to get the 3peat

 

[This Year?]

Dragons will have a go, but fall short.

 

[Nuke]

Titans would have to be the heavy favourites at this stage, but I hope it's the Roosters, as it appears it won't be Brisbane this year. That was a good year though. Ah, memories..!
