1/ eels (same as last year only smithy will do a lot better)
2/ dragons (same as eels especially if head stays fit, and the turmoil does not effect them on the feild)
3/ knights (if johns stays fit)
4/ eagles (signed orford now they have a great halves combo)
5/ broncos (every time we say theyll struggle they prove us wrong but i think they make struggle to make the 8, im just not prepared to take that chance)
6/ tigers (should make to 4 depends how teams around them go, pat richards is a humongus loss as is there former captain)
7/ cowboys (paul rauhihi will be a big loss)
8/ roosters (all depends how anasta and finch combo goes, other wise theyll struggle)
9/ sharks (may do better depends if vagana plays 5/8)
10/ rabbits (wll do alot better have a good halves combo going and some good signings, plus alot of yongsters coming thru which will more than make up for there losses)
11/ dogs (no anasta means no strong halves combo.)
12/ storm (no orford will struggle big time)
13/ panthers (lost all there power up front, and most of there backs)
14/ warriors (they struggled last year without stacey theyll do even worse)
15/ raiders (depends if smith stays fit)
