Super crazy almost always wrong prediction time!
1. Melbourne Storm - Stick to defense with no injuries and we should get there. Big 3 influence is huge.
2. Manly Sea Eagles - Seem too professional to let Dessie leaving at the end of next year affect their playing ability. Chezza and Foran with more experience.
3. Newcastle Knights - 1. Boyd 6. Gidley 7. Mullen 9. Buderus. Bennett. Enough said.
4. Paramatta Eels - The smokey, it won't take long before Sandow and Hayne develop a lethal combination. Best attacking team 2012.
5. Wests Tigers - If Benji and Farrah can stay in form, they can make the 8 without Lui quite easily. Unpredictability and luck is a good combination.
6. Canberra Raiders - Never have 2 bad years in a row. McCrone had to steer the team around the park this year, giving him the experience to know when Campese needs help. End of season run to get them here though.
7. Gold Coast Titans* - Decent signings, hopefuly we can see the Titans of last year come back. *If they sign Carney. If not, drop to 12th, pushing everyone up.
8. St George Dragons - The Bennett influence will still be there, Broncos didn't immediately die when he left them. Will get a hand up in origin time when Sticky gets a hardon for Manly players instead.
9. New Zealand Warriors - Always tip the losing team to miss the eight the next year. Not gonna stop now, Cleary leaving is a massive loss. Can the new coach turn the ship around when the inevitable form slump comes?
10. Cantebury Bulldogs - Transition year, plain and simple. Don't have the backs to make points.
11. Brisbane Broncos - With Lockyer gone, Brisbane is going to fall apart for a few years. I believe Locky had a bigger influence on them this year than Griffin did. Time will tell.
12. Sydney Roosters - Some off field discretion will screw them over next year.
13. North Queensland Cowboys - Cowboys seem fragile from what i've seen this year. All it takes is one loss to send them spinning out of control. It will happen early.
14. Penrith Panthers - Have they signed anyone? Cleary will be good for them, but it will be a long term thing.
15. Cronulla Sharks - Poor Sharks. Love 'em, but can't see them winning many. Though with a healthy side they could push for the eight, i can't see them staying healthy.
16. South Sydney Rabbitohs - Way to shoot yourself in the foot, Rabbitohs. Spend all your money on a centre so you can't afford your key player. Big forward pack, exciting outside backs, but nothing without the glue. Now Parramatta have all your glue, and you have nothing but pieces.
Grand Final - Melbourne Storm v Manly
Dally M - Glenn Stewart.
Orgin Winner - Queensland, in another decider.
The only one i have confidence in next year is for Souths to get the spoon.
