How do you know that? I really can't see how they could possibly have made a profit. Their crowds have been mediocre and they would have had quite a hefty bill for their players wages. I think Eric Watson is telling fibs if he's trying to claim he makes money out your mob.

Roosters if the money connection drop off and the brown paper bags stop passing under the table. Shades of the doggies in 2002.

 

[Eels Dude]

I'd say Manly. Though if Roosters finally get busted for rorting the cap it's over to them.

I think the argument that Canberra will struggle because they have bought aging players is a bit lame. Davico and Wiki werent exactly in their prime. In essence we are losing two 30+ players and replacing them with another two to cover for the experience we would have lost.

 

[brenno]

fair dinkum some of you blokes neet to give yourselves an uppercut and then one more just to keep you honest. Losing wiki and davico will hurt in the short term but, it certaintly does not make canberra wooden spoon contenders. I doubt anyside in history having lost two quality experiences guys has gone from perennial top8 material to wooden spoon contenders in just 1 season. Turn it up! With exciting youngsters like Todd Carney, Terry Campese, Michael Weyman and a host of experienced guys i can't see the Raiders falling anywhere below 10th place. Afterall, Ruben Wiki hardly played for the Raiders this season, he missed most of it due to suspension and injury and the Raiders still made the 8. The Raiders will definetely still be in the hunt for the top8 next year.

raiders young guns are gonna kill it

If Manly don't get a decent centre, i really can not see em going to well next year, Hasler should not be a coach.

And Raiders are no chance of getting the Spoon.

The lack of centres isn't a big worry, spoon wise. we played well at the back end without Hicks and he's better than Torrens in the centres. But he's better on the wing .

 

[Red Bear]

Raiders. Sure wiki n davico werent in their prime but they were still your best players!

 

[yakstorm]

I think Parramatta, they had 3 halves this year, have let two of them go (Thorman and Dykes) so have just Witt as the only established half they have for the first 13 rounds, and IF, and its a big IF PJ Marsh does come back then to the NRL, there is no guarentee he will be anything like the player he use to be.

You left out the favourite and as if Canberra are second favourite for the spoon...

Im just waiting for the Panthers investigation to conclude......Its going to be heaven sent.

 

[Trollhammaren]

Pretty ridiculous Souths aren't in the poll. I tip them.

11,000 (estimate) season ticket holders which the club still makes money off

 

[bartman]

I actually think the Sharks are soft, and will get found out next year, no offence.

But yes, Yakstorm and others, I share your fears about my Parra. and dashed hopes the last two years haven't helped my confidence at this stage.
