Who do you reckon is the most intimidating team nowadays?I was thinking about the Broncos of the mid-late 1990's and it got me thinking...they were feared by everyone. So what happened? And who is the new feared team?
1-Roosters (I think they are the new benchmark. They go a long way off the reputation of 2002)
2-Bulldogs (they are bloody scary proposition for most teams)
3-Melbourne Storm (a bolter, but the olympic park hoodoo scares teams to no end)
4-St.George Illawarra (when they turn it on with their good young forwards and lightning fast backs....say goodnight....your team is gonna get smacked.
5-Broncos (they slip to 5, even this year i thought souths could beat them...and we almost did)
6-NZ (you tangle with their forwards and see how well you do)
7-Penrith (medium fear factor....nothing more)
8-North Qld (8th and rising....depending on what they manage in this years semis)
9-Newcastle (they used to be so much higher)
10-Canberra (they ain't got no Mal Meninga these days)
11-Sharks (Ando really stuffed this club up, and they aren't very scary)
12-Parramatta (they have turned a hardened semi final unit into a bunch of premier league pansies)
13-Wests Tigers (i actually look forward to playing Wests most of the time)
14-South Sydney (I kept my team off the bottom because I think teams know we could have a good day i.e. penrith 2004 storm 2003
15-Manly (their team list is getting better but they hold no fear to anyone)
