2019 Ladder : Predicting the Movers and Shakers

[Captain Kickass]

Tipsters, punters, Super-coaches unite !!!
Give us your best forecasts below ...

• Which teams will push for Top 4 ? Roosters, Storm, Souths.
• Which teams will be likely Bottom 4 contenders ? Gold Coast, Bulldogs.
• Who's in danger to fall out of the Top 8 ? Cronulla, St.George.
• Who's gonna surprise us and make the Top 8 ? Canberra, Newcastle.

Everybody else I can't get a gauge on.
Keen to hear you theories.

 

[Mr Invisible]

We did this last year where you had to predict 1-16. Was a real interesting one.

• Which teams will push for Top 4 ? Roosters, Storm, Souths, Panthers.
• Which teams will be likely Bottom 4 contenders ? Titans, Warriors, Eels, Raiders.
• Who's in danger to fall out of the Top 8 ? Sharks, Dragons, Warriors.
• Who's gonna surprise us and make the Top 8 ? Cowboys, Bulldogs, Manly.

I think the Knights are going to struggle, and when Ponga goes in 2020 it'll be back to a rabble again. Too many egos in the playing ranks, and a coach thats been allowed to deliver average results far too long.

I'd be happy to see Ponga go to the Roosters or Broncos just to see the cocky Knights turn to shit again ..

 

[Wolfmother]

1. Bulldogs will be in the top 4. Lewis and foran will be a good combination.
2. Napa will impress
3. Klemmer will be a distant memory

 

[Dognacious]

Bulldogs will make the 8. Fuck the rest.

But seriously Im not sure yet. I reckon Souths and Roosters will be up there. And Eels and Gold Coast down there. The rest is roll the dice. Us 5-8th.

I'll join your 1-16 prediction post round 1 but after some trials have been played.

Probably create a thread on it and might see if we can make it bigger and offer some prizes.

He apparently has an open ended deal with the Knights that can see him sacked for non performance on an agreed severance package. Knights have been given every conceivable chance to do okay this yerar with the players they have been allowed to recruit..... and it will be interesting to see how many more, ahem, little incidents they will be involved in this year...

I might change mine by then lol

 

[Mr Invisible]

Yeah gotta talk to "the bosses" here about that.. but I think a competition with small prizes (merch or something) might be do-able.

Just gotta find out if we have any issues running competitions or anything.

 

[Haslerhasworms]

1. Rooters
2. Panthers
3. Broncos
4. Souffs
5. Cowgirls
6. Storm
7. Raiders
8. Dragons

Hard to be optimistic about dogs making the 8 but I really hope I'm wrong!!
Happy to leave sharks n knights out and back the eels in for another spoon...

 

[GrogDog]

1. Bulldogs will be in the top 4. Lewis and foran will be a good combination.
2. Napa will impress
3. Klemmer will be a distant memory

When did Klemmer play for us, was it juniors or something??

 

[GrogDog]

Looking at the draw I think we are capable of wining 8 of the first 11 games and lose to Storm twice and souths once. Get a good start and confidence into the team then who knows...

 

[Bull Terrier]

For me only one comment on movers and shakers I care about.
Bulldogs will make the 8.. just to add they will be the achievers in 2019 and the rest of the teams will underestimate the dogs until the 2nd half off the season.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

1. Rorters
2. Souffs
3. Penrith
4. Manly
5. Dragons
6. Gronkos
7. Knights
8. Tigers
9. Warriors
10. Cowboys
11. Bulldogs
12. Storm - the season Bellamy gets exposed as a fraud
13. Parramasala
14. Peptides
15. Titans
16. Faders + Ricky makes the dressing room toxic

 

[Cook]

Dragons to surprise and push for top two finish. Parra to take out spoon again. Knights to finish top 4. Souths to struggle on last years form

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Not in any order
Top 8
Broncos
Dragons
Souths
Storm
Knights
Sharks - Big chance of missing the 8 with Titans coming in for them
Panthers
Roosters

Bottom 8
Titans - I think a smokey for the top 8
Dogs - We probably will be 6 points shy of the top 8
Parra - No fucking hope and spoon
Tigers
Warriors
Manly
Cowboys - Won't be far off the top 8
Raiders
