Definite contenders
- Storm
- Manly
- Warriors
Dark Horses
- Bulldogs
- Tigers
Pretenders
- Eels (still haven't convinced me)
- Cowboys
Roughies
- Roosters
- Rabbitohs
Gorn
- The rest
I think this is the year Brisbane misses the 8, and one of the roosters or rabbits will grab that spot. Whichever side does will be no walkover for whoever they play in the first week.
