Gotta love the offseason.... not. Well here we go another ladder predictions thread in the pre season!!

I'm just ecstatic and can't wait to see the transformation to the club we will be going through in the next couple years!!

I predict the competition is going to be really close and there will be a wins difference between the top 4 and bottom 8.

1. Roosters
2. Manly
3. Melbourne
4. Cronulla
5. Broncos
6. Cowboys
7. Eels
8. Bulldogs
9. Panthers
10. Souths
11. Dragons
12. Canberra
13. Tigers
14. Gold coast
15. Knights
16. Warriors

That was difficult. Probably gonna get bashed for my predictions lol.

Not bad. I’d swap Manly with Eels. I’d have the tigers just outside the 8. Dogs are about right.

Predictions are difficult. Last year I tipped Canberra in the top 4 and looked what happened haha!
Canberra pretty much lost me the tipping comp. I kept expecting them to do what they did last year after a poor start to the 2016 season but they only won one more then we did.

Very difficult but I think the Sharks are done and will miss the 8. I don't think they will believe they can win it and will play accordingly. Great chance next year for a dark horse to win it.

Roters, as much as i hate saying it and even worse seen it. Bulldogs, only if Foran fires. Eels, Sea Eagles, Broncos, Panthers, Storm, Cowboys, Tigers, Raiders, Dragons, Sharks, Souths, Knights, Warriors, Titans,
The NRL will want to see Sydney teams up the top for a change for the sake of the game overall, so trust me they will make it happen.

1-I expect Newcastle to run 10th-13th.
2-Roosters won’t finish first
3-Cowboys easily top 4
4-Dogs won’t make the 8 unless they buy 3-4 quality players
5-Was there a typo with Manly second ?

Top 4.
Storm
Roosters
Cowboys
Brisbane

The rest vying for the 8
Penrith
Canberra
Parramatta
Manly
South Sydney
St George.

The also rans
Canterbury
Gold Coast
West Tigers
Newcastle
Warriors

That's my pessimistic view.
I hope the team has more than 10 wins in them next season.
As I think Foran will straighten the attack there shoukd be more tries.
Also who will be kicking goels next season?
We need a 80% kicker to be a chance of getting higher up the ladder.

Most ppl have the dogs finishing just inside or just outside the 8 which is extremely similiar to what most ppl expected at the end of the 2011 season with a new coach coming and not a superstar roster and we saw how 2012 turned out so im confident 2018 will be a year where we surprise most ppl and finish up high on the ladder....heres hoping anyway

Off the back of an unbelievable season from Barba and the laws back then that Des exploited well.
We were the best team in 2012 once the team clicked.
It was a shame not to come away with the premiership that year

As for next year I think out team is stronger than this season.
IF Foran gets the team around the park and straightens the attack and we have better 5th tackle attacking options I'm sure we will have more than 10 wins.
But I think the clubs depth is questionable. So if there are injuries we will be in trouble.
Also who will partner Foran in the halves?
Mybe, Brown, Frawley?

Given uncertainty about a number of position and a rockie coach I think top 8 will be a big achievement.
