Who wins the Premiership?

[NewySteel]

Storm or Panthers would be the logical ones right now, but certainly feels like a season someone could potentially win it from outside the four (yet to happen in the nrl era I believe?).

Penrith vs parra would be the shot in the arm the game needs, especially in western Sydney.
Could hook an entire generation of youth in the west, undermining the millions the afl have pumped into GWS in the last decade. You’d love to see it.

With the Roosters broken the two best sides currently are those coming 1st and 2nd, surprisingly enough. 8 straight wins apiece. We're a long way out though. Panthers have time on their side. If not this year, then next. Teams will be fighting to lose to us in the GF for the next 5 years.

Settle down Rhyno.

Pearce definitely wasn't about money. He was the half and the club bought Cronk. What do you think he'd do?

The point is that the Knights paid him more than the Roosters did.

Getting on the Storm bandwagon early aye so you can get your grand final tickets and selfie with Cam?

As a proud Queenslander that will back any of our teams, including our latest NRL team the Sunshine Coast Storm I can confirm that this meme is fairly accruate

He didn’t leave the club because of salary issues though. His salary increased due to competition for his signature as a free agent

Should be back in a couple of weeks

Really? According to the commentators' reaction Keary's funeral was on Monday.

Good news - Broken ribs suck! So much pain no matter what you do - Can't breath, fart, cough or anything... Hopefully a speedy recovery

That's good news. I like watching him play.

Any news on Aubusson? It would be a shame if this is the end for him so close to the club record.

I have nothing official so take it for what it's worth at this stage but hearing Aubo is 6-8 weeks so a chance for finals.

Lam is apparently only going to be a couple of weeks as well

Is he going around again next year?

No official word but I see it as doubtful.

I don't see a spot in the top 17 ahead of Radley, Sitlli, Crighton, Liu and Cordner.

He is of course utility value but we also have young Verrils and Lam for that role.

Then you have other players like Fifita and Bailey who will continue to demand game time on the bench.

Hopefully gets back & gets another 2 games at least then. He has been a very under rated player for a long time.

He can fill in for Cordner in the half a season he misses.

Actually think something like Storm v roosters for this year would be better (a year no one really cares about) and save the all Sydney final for next year when hopefully people can gather and the real benefits of a final like eels v Panthers could be felt with big crowds and parties in the street. Would seem a bit of waste this year.
My hope would be Storm v raiders from a personal point of view.

Ouch, most painful injury I've ever done! Lots of sleepless nights ahead for him.

f**k that. I think a few Eels & Panthers fans would be happy to win it this year.

My hope would be Storm knocked out the week before the grand final, then I’m happy for anyone to win it

The only people who won’t care about this year, are the fans of the 15 teams that don’t win it...
