Why Manly won't win the premiership

[stuke]

this is gonna piss a fair few off, but I have a sneaking suspicion that if Roosters fire in the first half of the year again, we could see Pearce and Anasta back in the NSW halves...
Why?
Off the top of my head, Wallace is the only other contender for the 7. A lot of people are tipping Brisbane to be massively weakened in the forwards, making a young halfbacks job particularly difficult.

For the 6, other than Anasta, we have Barrett, and Campese. Barrett is well past his best years, and I don't know how wise it would be to be looking so far back to the past for success.
Campese is the other option, who I could see getting the job if the selectors are willing to risk such a young combination. But given their tendency to stick with the incumbents over in form players, he could be facing an uphill battle.

Anyone other nominees? Would Mullen be in the picture again? Should this be its own thread?

Feleti Mateo is an option if he gets his allegiances sorted out. would prefer to see him at lock but could handle the 5/8 role, especially with his size up against some of those QLD backs.

manly v sharks

or

manly v warriors (depending on how they regroup)

Can we dig up all the prediction threads now? We can see who's egos are inflated or damaged....
