Parra 15th? Did you just copy this years table?

Reckon the Bulldogs might struggle after overachieving this year ala the Warriors in 23. Good squad but I think after that success rival coaches will successfully target and exploit their lack of middle forwards.

Manly 21
Cows 22
Wahs 23

Were all teams who came from nowhere in those years to rocket up the ladder, all failed the next year. Wouldnt surprise if the Dogs are the same.

I'd take Manly out of that list. They are the true definition of a 1 man team in Turbo. I f**king hate Manly but it's a shame what his career has been.

 

[Vic Mackey]

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

Souths have maybe the worst spine in the comp and shite middles outside of Murray. Crazy to see people still rate Wayne that high

could be right, as i said its a smokey and maybe an indication as to how many poor/average sides there are after the top handful

souths still have some quality and guys like trell, graham, walker, wighton, tatola, koalamatngi, murray and arrow make most starting line ups of teams 3-17

Agree that the middles are a problem and Bennett is a shadow of his former self. Not sure how you can say that about the spine. Mamouzelos is young and raw but very promising. His role will be very clear. Quick ball and tackle your arse off. That’s his game to a tee. Dodd is one of the best halves in England, won multiple titles and kicked the winning field goal to beat Penrith in the World Championship. He is a legitimate controlling half and has attacking upside. He is very clever. Walker is old, slow and cranky but he is still capable of magic. Mitchell is a freak. That spine will take time to gel but it will be effective.

Latrell is the world's best centre and a terrible fullback.

Walker is an absolute f**kwit but still a good 6
