1.N.Z - added a few key players and the return of stacey jones this is there year
2.Cronulla - has probley the best forward pack in the comp
3.Manly - will find it harder this year but will still be in the top 4
4.Dragons - improved a lot
5.Bulldogs - just like the dragons have improved lots
6.Roosters - will be there still have a great side
7.Storm - a few players leaving depth maybe a problem m,might finish higher if there juniors come in and do there job)
8.Souths - improved there backs which should see them improve
just missing the 8
9.Gold Coast - will be there if prince stays healthy
10.Tigers - young players need to play well along with benji and farah
11.Canberra - have added well to there side still could be top 8
12.Nth Qld - will improve but not enough
13.Brisbane - i can see this year being a rebuilding year for the broncos ,Hodges/Falou will be entertaining but can Lockyer remain injury free?
14.Parramatta - ok side will need to stay injury free if they wanna contend
15.Newcastle - nice young side that might be a lot better next year
16.Penrith - will cause some upsets for sure,could be a chance if there juniors fire
the way i see it any team can make the 8 its just wether or not things go there way (injuries,luck)
