Done with very little thought and on the basis of clubs not losing major players for a long time. Feel like any order from 3rd-17th could come true, for instance I’ve picked manly to come 3rd however it wouldnt surprise me at all if they came 13th.
1. Storm - speak for themselves
2. Panthers - as above
3. Sea Eagles - likely DCElast ride, good 1/6/7, pace in backs, 12 games at brookie
4. Broncos - madge great fit, 1/6/7 quality if fit
5. Souths - smokey but i expect wayne to get trell and cody going. also the quality in teams from here is a massive rop
6. Sharks - be there abouts again, tougher draw drops them down a bit
7. Roosters - first half of the year will be tough but too many good players and winning culture will get them here
8. Eels - top 4 halves pairing, great goal kicker, lots of unknowns but think they improve
(3 in, 3 out as per history)
9. Cowboys - lots of points but way too fragile, forward pack poor
10. Titans - des did well last year, tino back, sort the spine and they;'' upset some teams
11. Tigers - please just dont be garbage
12. Dogs - like the wahs and nq in previous years, will come back, lack of quality in spine
13. Dragons- flanno will have them strong and fit, thats where it ends
14. Fins - strong 1-5, young gun 7, not much else
15. Knights - lots of us tip this eveyr year but think its finally the down fall in 25
16. Raiders - poor wicky
17. Wahs - massive rebuild year
