The Chooks need a huge overhaul in their roster, Cordner‘s gone, so‘s Friend, Mozzies both retired, Liu gone to the Titans, Tupou is 31 next year and JWH at 33 is another year older and age gets shown up with the new rules. They have a young half in Walker with next to zero NRL finals experience and Keary will be 30 next year and seems to be more injury prone. They have some big shoes to fill and the Chooks have 6 spots of their 30 for 2022 unfilled as at now, the only new players they have signed are Connor Watson and Atoni. How they fill the vacancies will determine their position next year.

there top 17 is extremely strong next year, they have exceptional balance of youth and experience.
Of course injuries play apart but if their top17 stays fit id have them top3 easily.

I reckon Manly will be favourites by midway through the season. Building nicely the fukers

Whose leaving from the Storm? Hynes only a utility player but was very good for depth..Finucane, anyone else of note? i dont think so, one could argue 5.50 isn't bad odds for them either.

I'd even settle for this if it were to be the ladder at the end of the season

It’s pretty spot on IMO. 9-12 is very realistic. Anyone putting us 13-16 needs their brain checked. A lot of experience has been purchased. Over to you TBaz

Money isn't ever the issue for the Chooks, but finding suitable replacements, players at the right price for the right skill level, is the issue.

Interested to see how Atoni goes. Plenty of ability, but lacking in other areas.

Do you know how he trains?

8th for me. Comes down to a bit of luck on the end in relation to referees and injuries. Hopefully they stop treating us like shit aha

TAB odds
$5.50 Melbourne
$6.00 Penrith
$7.00 Manly
$8.00 South Sydney
$9.00 Roosters
$12 Parramatta
$15 Gold Coast
$19 Canberra
$21 Cronulla
$21 Newcastle
$23 Bulldogs
$26 Brisbane
$34 Warriors
$34 North Queensland
$41 Wests Tigers
$51 St George Illawarra

Probably got us pretty spot on. Dependant on further rule changes & how a couple of fresh squads such as our dogs shape up there might be a fair log jam between 3rd & 12th.
Looks like next years top 8

Spooners to premiers and a Barrett 5 year extension boom boom.
Ado Carr and dufty to make more line breaks than anyone and Burton’s salary to become a million a season.
