Fox Leagues 2023 Bold Predictions have tigers, dolphins and broncos making the top 8, and parra missing out
Its' possible but reality is if Hodgson stays fit we have a top 4 spine in comp. Top 3 best starting prop combo in comp. Lane & Matterson are origin level and almost as good as any in their position.
The only drop offs if Hodgson stays fit are -
Marata ( Ordinary season) ,Papali'i( Big loss)Kafusi,Stone (Barely played and bog average)
Doorey,Hopgood,Murchie,Moimsea,Greig,Matalele, Ogden ,Rodwell,Bryce to fight for their spots. Any of them could break out or have a good season.
Most likely Taupua for N.Brown which I see as an upgrade.
Russel,Laizou,JA,Yates,Hands a year older. Dunster fit. Along with ASI. Heaps more depth......
Plus I'd expect Peninsi to really settle into grade and D.Brown to keep improving.
