1 Panthers: No better motivation after playing in the WCC. Premiers.
2 Roosters: On paper, they are lookin the goods. Will be thereabouts
3 Bulldogs: IMO, they'll quickly gell although the preseason was meh.
4 Warriors: A much better side than '23.
5 Knights: With Ponga at the helm and in a good team will do well.
6 Broncos: Will the ghost of '23 GF will haunt them? Don't think so.
7 Dragons: Liked what I've seen. Depth an issue if injuries mar them.
8 Eels: Should be in the 8 after a terrible '23. Will make a fist of it.
9 Rabbitohs: Not really sold on them. Injury to Graham is notable
10 Sea Eagles: Will have their good/bad runs, depth also an issue.
11 Titans: Still a work in progress with not too much depth.
12 Dolphins: Have a team on paper, but IMO the honeymoon is over
13 Storm: A toss of the coin if they go hard, or simply play for pay.
14 Cowboys: Not enough depth
15 Raiders: Unknown quantity here...wait n' see, or flounder early?
16 Sharks: Club which hasn't set the comp on fire since their last GF.
17 Tigers: Sorry Tiges, this aint your year. Better times ahead for '24.
