I think the Dragons will go 'Back to Back', with the Sharks, Cowboys & Dogs the big improvers from last year.

Dragons v Tigers GF

Knights the spoon

I don't know about back to back, I can see them cracking it for another one within the next few years though.

I think its hard to go back to back due to losing talent immediately after the result.

To go back to back they'd need a clean bill of health right up until GF day for their key positions and some of the players getting on would have to hold it together for one more year.

However, should injury occur in some areas, the capable Kyle Stanley will slot in nicely and it would be good to see Cuthbertson re-booted under Bennett.
He will need to lose some bulk fat and ditch the majority of his second phase game, but it could happen.

Tigers are specials, more depth then any other team and rep quality in every position. Were missing 4 of our starting 13 v the dragons and still took a field goal to beat us.

Likes of dwyer, Lui, fifita, Murdoch-masila will be better for the year and moltzen is like a new signing.

Wests are the team to beat.

Our only weakness is fullback, where we still have good options in McKinnon and Brown. I can't wait till March, because I feel this season will be special.

But yeah, Dragons are still the team to beat, unless midway through the season and they suck.

Does anyone actually have any evidence that Saints cheated the cap, or is it all just a bunch of monkeys (mainly Souffs and Scum fans) flinging sh*t?

I'm going to have to say:

- Rabbits
- Dogs
- Storm
- Tigers
- Roosters

Can't see a team outside of this doing the business in 2011

Unfortunately for St Merge fans, I can see them falling in to a very familiar hole in 2011. Teams will work out how to play against their defensive line and they will have no Plan B. They also have a number of guys on the wrong side of their career who will lack the firepower to back up for another year.

Cheers,
Moffo

hahaha, souffs.

will any of those teams even make the top 8?

Dragons to be the favourites again.
Lost some important players but still a strong roster.
Weyman will be fit.
Hunt and Tagive back from injury.
Fien should play a full season.
Promising juniors.
Confident and coached by Bennett.

Tigers to be good again.
Much improved forwars and fast backs.
Less injuries and they could take the title.

Souths a major threat with the Inglis.
They were smashed with injuries.
Shame - they were looking good.

Dogs the big improvers.
Probably the best squad in the league.

Brisbane, Roosters, Penrith and Titans to round out the eight.

Dragons are the early year favourites and with good reason. They still boast arguably the best 17 on paper and a coach who knows how to win back-to-back titles. I believe the Dragons are the team to catch.

I see Raiders & Warriors as big improvers.
Saints Tigers Melbourne up near the top....I think the Roosters may slip
