This topic's probably been brought up a million times so my bad if I'm covering old ground here but I'm bored. Curious to get the kennel's opinion/prediction on 2022 based on the below categories. Will be interesting to circle back and see who was closest. I'll kick it off (explanation needed for each one as well) -
Best player: Paul Vaughan. Unconventional choice here but I've always rated him and I reckon he's going to have a tonne to prove in 22, especially with only a 1 year deal on the table.
Most Improved: Bailey Biondi Odo. I reckon he turns into a dynamic impact player off the bench for us throughout the season and maybe even forces himself into the 7 eventually.
Biggest disappointment: Tevita Pangai Junior. I'm not making this pick because I necessarily think his form will stink. I just think what we saw with Thompson and Hetherington might also be the case here. That is, a player that sails pretty close to the wind on tackling/aggression gets targeted by refs and spends more time suspended than on the field. Hope I'm wrong.
Final ladder standing & does Barrett survive the year? Reckon we just miss out on finals football and finish 9th. Barrett survives but barely.
