Who will HONESTLY win the 2005 Premiership?

[AdamH]

I can't go past the Bulldogs.
I also unwilling think the Dragoons might make the GF.
I am very confident the Roosters will not make another GF this season.

 

[Southernsaint]

I think Saints can & will win the Premiership in 2005.

I also think Celtic will win the SPL & Leeds wil rally but miss out on Promotion back to the EPL.

I also think that John Howard will be asassinated *did I just say that out loud??*

 

[LESStar58]

the team that scores the most points will.

I predict the storms crowds will decrease further and that the nrl will relocate them for the 2006 season.

Leatherface...Boba Fett. You have your mission. Go forth and kill the commie bitch!

Eels, they've bought so well it will be an absolute travesty if they don't at least make the eight.

 

[Broncodroid]

The Eels not making the 8 would not be a travesty, it would prove that Brian Smith's time, the coach unable to adapt to the modern game, is up and force Parramatta's hand in dumping him for the 2006 season despite having time left on his contract.

Admittedly, Smith again has to gel a newish team together and this will be an exucse down the track if they struggle as they have no solid halves pairing, a new dummy half in which could add to a slow start for the Eels if the creative men are not cohesive.

Honestly, I can see Smith at the Eels in 2006 as Fitzgerald is a fan of Smith and more importantly a fan of money in which he would not look forward to a payout to the coach for terminating the contract.

The Eels have the right tools to make the 8 in 2005, a good forward pack bolstered by the return of a fit Nathan Cayless, with the addition of Paul Stringer and Mark Riddell. Add Nathan Hindmarsh, Daniel Wagon (overrated IMO), Mick Vella and the like...you have one half of what's needed to win a premiership, A BRILLIANT FORWARD PACK.

The halves will be the key for Smith, if he does not get this right, it will be a season of ups and downs for Smith and the outside backs Tahu included.

I was like WTF when you said you can't honestly say your own team will win, but it prolly is the best way of seeing who people generally think will win

I voted Bulldogs, but it's out them, Penrith, Dragons, & Roosters. I'd even give Parra & Newcastle an outside chance

 

[God-King Dean]

Who will HONESTLY win the 2005 Premiership? (YOU CANT VOTE FOR THE TEAM YOU FOLLOW)
Parramatta Eels
12% [ 13 ]
Newcastle Knights
5% [ 6 ]
Penrith Panthers
1% [ 2 ]
St.George-Illawarra Dragons
6% [ 7 ]
The Bulldogs
29% [ 30 ]

Canberra Raiders

That's what it was after I voted. Theres sure to be people who voted for their own team, I'm thinking Parra fans looking at that poll ;-)

 

[Foz]

Very open comp.
I think 11 of the sides have a shot at the title but I'm not ruling out any side to make the 8.
I voted Broncos on value but I think a few bolters have a chance this year.
Never ridicule anyone's tip because it might come and bite you on the bum.

 

[steven_tiger]

tigers 4th favourite. haha - yeah right!

 

[ozzy_ozman]

I would have said the roosters but i couldnt find them so i chose cowboys!

 

[God-King Dean]

I wonder who voted for Tigers :-k Hmm

 

[The Way I See It]

I follow the raiders but i know we won't win so Bronco's cause of there rising talent again and big thorn to help out the loss of tallis(loss not replace)

 

[Phillips]

who were the idiots that voted for the Sharks :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[thuganomics]

:lol:

 

[God-King Dean]

Who do you think? Sharks fans, & gregstar :lol:

 

[Dragon_psa]

Well, I can't vote for my team, so I'll go out on a limb and say the Warriors. They'll improve markedly this year - Stacey Jones has had his first off season without nagging injury since '02, and the leadership styles of Price and Wiki will work wonders for their forward pack. Nathan Fien will slot in nicely at hooker. Don't be surprised if Ivan cleary is head coach before the end of the season. But my heart still says the Dragons to beat the Broncs in the GF.

 

[rednut]

broncos

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

if this is honest then who the hell voted for cronulla other than gregstar who is, like he sai a cruel prick.
