Final Top Eight Predications 2012

[dogie]

So, we are at the point in the season where we can make some informed predictions about the final eight in 2012

for a bit of fun post your predictions here and I will pull this up when the eight is concrete

mine are:

1.Storm
2.Broncos
3.Bulldogs
4.Manly
5.Rabbitohs
6.Warriors
7.Sharks
8.Knights

The ladder is still pretty tight but I don't think the eight will change much

Best guess is to get all teams in the eight, I have ranked for fun. If the winning 8 is the same for a couple of users then closest correct ranking applies.

what is your final top eight then?

1. Storm
2. Bulldogs
3. Broncos
4. Sea Eagles
5. Wests Tigers

[El_Magic]

1. Storm
2. Bulldogs
3. Broncos
4. Manly
5. Sharks
6. Cowboys
7. Tigers
8. Rabbits

I think the rabbits might just sneak into the 8. Tigers will probably do enough as well. I don't see the Knights doing much. Prob toss of a coin between rabbits, dragons and warriors. Nz have the skill, theyre just so inconsistent.

So everyone thinks the Storm will be minor premiers???

I cant see the Tigers getting there. Unfortunately Farah's loss of his mum will really effect him in a few months time.

Warriors will get there!

if they rest players at the end of the season they have proven they can still keep games close and have a great points differential

 

[Pom_81]

umm no one really cares what u think

Mate, don't be so childish. This is a thread asking for everyone's predictions. Don't insult a guy just for posting his (not at all unreasonable) answer.

Forums kinda rely on goodwill and not needless bullying. By all means shoot a guy down if he's posting stuff which is absolute rubbish, but don't just have a go at someone for no reason at all.

I think Warriors will sneak in. The rest is foreseeable !!
