Predict the 2010 Ladder

[Apey]

1. Sea Eagles
2. Dragons
3. Stom
4. Bulldogs
5. Tigers
6. Raiders
7. Storm
8. Broncos
9. Rabbitohs
10. Eels
11. Cowboys
12. Panthers
13. Titans
14. Roosters
15. Sharks
16. Warriors

Stom have come into replace the Knights?

1. Bulldogs
2. Dragons
3. Stom
4. Sea Eagles
5. Tigers
6. Raiders
7. Storm
8. Broncos
9. Rabbitohs
10. Warriors
11. Cowboys
12. Panthers
13. Titans
14. Roosters
15. Sharks
16. Eels (They'll still be bashed and bruised from their loss to Canterbury on the 25th of September 2009).

That's why you shouldn't copy and paste.

Won't post a ladder just yet but I think Warriors and Sharks will continue to disappoint while Dragons, Bulldogs, Storm, Broncos will make up the top 4.. with Eels/Titans following close behind.

Brisbane to miss the eight for the first time in a while. Parramatta to finish in the top four, Dragons top four. Other than that it's all a mystery. I can't see Cronulla or the Roosters turning it around in a hurry. Auckland will struggle again next year too I think.

 

[NK Arsenal]

1. Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs
Have more unity than any other team in the competition. But they are screwed if Kimmorely gets injured and Holdsworth has to play

2. Parramatta Eels
Daniel Anderson, like he did at the Warriors and St Helens, is producing something special. I won't be surprised if they make the Grand Final again.

3. St George-Illawarra Dragons
Another year where the Dragons will promise so much but fail to deliver.

4. Newcastle Knights
We will be better off for the finals experience this year. Mullen, Gidley and De Gois must stay fit for the majority of the season. Halves combo must be Mullen/Dureau

5. Melbourne Storm
I think that they will have a great start to the season but drop off a bit after Origin time.

6. South Sydney Rabbitohs
A great forward back that will do a lot of damage. They are kidding themselves if they don't make the top 8.

7. Gold Coast Titans
They are capable of more than this but they need to learn how to win more away games

8. Brisbane Broncos
Dave Taylor is a massive loss and so is the cutie. Lockyer isn't getting any younger either. But you can never write them off.

9. Canberra Raiders
A bit too inexperienced to make the 8, but I won't be surprised if they do.

10. Wests Tigers
Sheens needs to play Moltzen at halfback for the entire season if they are to have any chance.

11. New Zealand Warriors
Don't have a decent halves pairing.

12. Penrith Panthers
A lot of talent throughout the side but with Elliot in charge they are no hope.

13. Manly Sea Eagles
Because I hate them.

14. North Queensland Cowboys
Shane Tronc is a big loss for the Cowboys. They will struggle for consistency, especially after Origin.

15. Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks
Stuart has no idea when it comes to recruitment.

16. Sydney Roosters
Will be Smithy's clean out year at the chooks.

 

[Mr Angry]

1. Gold Coast Titans

Will back up this year with an even better year 2010

2. Melbourne Storm

Smith, Cronk, Inglis, Slater, Bellamy

3. Parramatta Eels

Bought well will be more consistant

4. St George Illawarra Dragons

Will be hungry and disciplined

5. South Sydney Rabbitohs

JT has gone and possibly the best forward pack in 2010, will play with depth under Lang

6. Brisbane Broncos

Will still have Lockyer and Wallace can't be discounted.

7. Cronulla Sharks

Have bought well, have a very good pack.

8. Manly Sea Eagles

Will be in the mix, well drilled side

9. Canberra Raiders

Still need a halfback who can run the team leaving Campo to run.

10. Canterbury Bulldogs

Handbrake will kick in

11. Wests Tigers

Not sure here could go better, but Tim is still there.

12. North Queensland Cowboys

One man team, JT needs more help than Burns (Cannot believe they let Humble go)

13. Newcastle Knights

Still recoving from Smith

14. Sydney Roosters

May do better, but recovery from this year will take longer

15. New Zealand Warriors

Not a Fan of Cleary, still no halfback (Seymour is a 6)

16. Penrith Panthers

Elliot, nuff said

Ins: Paul Aiton (Panthers), Dean Collis (Tigers), Adam Cuthbertson (Sea Eagles), John Morris (Tigers), Broderick Wright (Eels), Albert Kelly (Eels, NYC), Nathan Gardner (Eels, NYC), Rodney Moefaauo (Eels, NYC), Siosaia Vave (Titans, NYC).

No huge names, but filling the positions we needed to strengthen.

Still need a fullback though.

 

[yobbo84]

I will only say this much about Souths. A major injury crisis aside, with arguably the best forward pack in the NRL, the leading try creator in the NRL in 2009 and a premiership winning coach, there will be no reason or excuse for Souths not to make the 8, and make it comfortably in 2010.

Hmm John Morris. Surely they'll play him at hooker. If he's anywhere near a 6 or 7 jersey you should write 2010 off now.

I agree totally.

But from everything I have read,(comments from both Sticky and Morris) John will be used as a hooker, then we have Aiton there as well.

Whats the difference to this year??? Taylor and Ross.... that wont quailfy as the best forward pack..

Parra will have the pack to stop adding Poore and Shackleton to what they have in Moi Moi, Hindmarsh, Cayless and Mateo

 

[Bodsy]

Add in Sam Burgess? Also an up and coming Player in Pettyborne, plus a world class hooker in Luke.

Arguably the best.

 

[Doug2234]

Sam Burgess hasnt been trialled in NRL. SL is a differnt game to NRL. Sam is also still a young fella remember. Give him a season and he will be solid.
