[j0rd0_ShArKs]

Sharks have got a couple of buys which will change our team up quite a bit

 

[broncoFAN]

jamie theohurus
joel orton
masada iosefa
shane blackett
and tupoa peau from penrith will be 21 next year
they wont be eligible for under20s?

 

[Panther_Daz]

Jamie Theoharous,Masada Iosefa, Shane Blackett and Tupou Peaua all played SG Ball last year(under 18's). So i assume all will be able to play under 20's two years on?

Having said that, i'll have Theoharous and Iosefa in First Grade next year.

How about Levi Freeman?

 

[Mal Meninga]

Matt Smith of Wynumm Manly was recruited for the Raiders u20 side. Will most likely get a shot at the halfback spot next season.

Josh Dugan is highly rated, good chance for a wing/fullback spot.

[Kurt200]

This is a very rough estimate on who will be the better sides and why.

1st-Parramatta- always strong in the juniors
2nd-Penrith-strong junior base
3rd-Gold Coast- plenty of talented players and big junior base
4th-Canterbury- big team with speed
5th-Sydney City- look good on paper
6th-Cronulla- couple of good signings
7th-Newcastle- pretty good in JF this year
8th-Melbourne- hav good players in key positions
9th-Canberra- tough forward pack, also mightn't travel well
10th-Brisbane- wayne bennett doesnt support the comp 100%
11th-StGeorge/Ill- depends if they hav a premier league team
12th-Warriors- their better players will play premier league(i think)
13th-Tigers- basically players from wests & balmain
14th-Cowboys- wont travel well but good at home
15th-Souths- will probably be inconsistent
16th-Manly- will hav alot of younger guys

:lol: Gold Coast - your kidding!
Cronulla- No hope of making the 8
Roosters- Will struggle
Brisbane - Don't believe a word of it, they will field as strong a side as possible
Warriors- Ditto Broncos
Tigers- Top 8 no doubt

 

[Kurt200]

again it was just an estimate but i still think gold coast will go good. they hav shannon walker & chris sandow who will be awesome(if they dont play qld cup) along with afew more aust. schoolboys. and yea i do hope the broncs & warriors field their best teams but don't think they will.

 

[j0rd0_ShArKs]

Shannon Walker will play QLD cup probably or even first grade

This is a little bias but i wouldnt write the Sharks completely yet swamprat

How old will Brackin Henry be nxt year, if he's under 20 what do you think his chances are of making the side?

 

[j0rd0_ShArKs]

Brackin will be 19 and be able to play U/20s and he would be in the side for sure, but i have heard Ricky wants to play him in Premier League as he holds him in high regard

Tu'u Maori may also be playing Premier League

 

[The Engineers Room]

My prediction on the ladder at the end of 26 rounds is:

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

But until we see a few games it is going to be very hard to gauge. Now I've said it the Dragons will probably win the whole thing.
