2024 Ladder predictions

[Someguy]

sharks look pretty comfortable for the minor. Panthers will have a very rough origin period, Brisbane are not consistent enough and Storm on the back of injuries and tough schedule will drop to the bottom of the 8 (or out of it)

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Cronulla Minor Premiers still time to get on if you haven’t.

Why are you laughing Blue Bags?

Can’t see us losing another game to be honest.

What odds will you give me on that? 100% we will drop another game.

Happy to be where we are on the ladder, but there is a LONG way to go in the season.

Finish top 4 give yourself the best chance to win week 1 and get the rest.

Top 4 - Penrith, storm, sharks, roosters
5th - Brisbane
6th - Dolphins
7-10 knights, raiders, dogs, manly

I’m not convinced about that top 4 to be honest. Storm and the Roosters still have alot of work to do. Storm because of injury and Roosters because of Origin and inconsistency.

 

[blue bags]

Dolphin's top 4 finish ?
You're thought's

A chance only because of their easy draw and some bad injuries to key players from teams that are contenders.

Inconsistency? Our 5 losses are by a combined margin of 33 points and we have the best F/A. Have an honest look at our draw from now and tell me how many loses you see.

Storm have some injuries but they will find a way to get in the top 4.

Brisbane I have left out due to Reynolds injury. If he was there it would be hard to see which one of the five misses out.

That's how it's shaping up. Only minor changes likely I reckon such as Storm/Broncos, Warriors -> 7-10, Parra to improve with Moses back.

Are you talking about the Dolphins or Sharks?

Dolphin's

 

[Dragon Slayer]

The question was about the QLD teams.

I said I give the Dolphins a chance because of their favourable draw. Everyone is so focused on the Sharks that they don’t even realise the Dolphins have a favourable draw.

Yes I see the Roosters as inconsistent.

They flog the bad teams so far this season and have lost most of their games to the top teams.

You are lucky with injury so far with no key players ruled out like others and that will help a lot with your run in.

A lot to play out yet for sure but.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Actually I just saw your draw.

Yes it looks very good.

There’s some tricky games in the last half a dozen but the immediate draw is soft for sure.

Storm could be the team in trouble with their current injury situation and Origin commitments.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Even at full strength I think the storm are miles behind panthers, broncos, East’s and sharks. A first week finals elimination wouldn’t surprise me at all. Their middle rotation is terrible. I’d argue Katoa is comfortably their best forward these days.

Even at full strength I think the storm are miles behind panthers, broncos, East’s and sharks.

And yet they've beaten 3 of those four - none of the games with their first choice spine.

You know what, I can live with that. Winning enough games to finish top four most years is pretty good as a supporter, even if you dip out in the finals. Storm supporters have had a pretty good ride overall.

But all up I think they are slightly better than you think. Not premiership material but they'll go ok.

Nauuurrrrr - you had your first choice spine against us. Munster returned for it. We were the cripples in that game.
