THE BULLDOGS-unbelievable young player talent reminiscent of the eels in the 80s,a team that has grand final winning experience and the game's current no 1 coach.Minor premiership record over the last 4 years is brilliant and now has his much deserved premiership ring
THE PANTHERS - the Doggies major threat.A huge pack of forwards,great halves and a very good backline.Depth is the only issue with them.A coach that knows all about semi finals football.Injuries robbed them but gave their premiership defence a real go.Very talented football side.
THE COWBOYS - Potentially the best side in the competition.Two or three gun players away from that.Thurston will explode for them next year.One game from a grand final they should have played in.
THE ROOSTERS - will figure in the semis but will realise the Fittler Factor next year in the big games.He was their goto man and Finch and Firman could not tie his shoe laces.They will gather points against the bad sides and struggle with sides equal or better than them.Teams have also worked them out in defence and their attack needs to improve.
THE EELS - will be the most improved side in the competition.Have bought very well.PJ Marsh is the key at halfback.If he does well , the Eels will worry plenty of sides.Even the better sides.
THE STORM - Great halves combination and good backs but will struggle with a small but hard working pack.The Dogs showed them up in the semis this year.
THE KNIGHTS - It is all to do with Johns , no matter what Hagan and the rest say.If he plays well and often , the Knights will be a nuisance value,if he doesn't they are gone.I think the gun individual player carrying a team has been eliminated in the current game.If you don't have a big good forward pack your class players will struggle.See Darren Lockyer for the Broncos.
THE BRONCOS - may surprise but I think this could be the first year they miss out on a top 8 spot.Have not improved their side.Loss of Tallis and Webb and bought Hodges and Thorn.They do not seem to have the fire in the squad anymore in the back end of the season.
THE DRAGONS - Betting Agencies Delight.Pre-Season till first 2 months of the competition , the media jerk off on this team.Statements of 'Best team" are simply outrageous and disrespectful to the gun sides in the competition.Inside information is that they are actually easy meat for the better teams because tactically they are inept and their outside defence is an opposition's coach specialty.Riddell ,Kite and Firman are also huge losses.
THE WARRIORS - a gifted football team but too much damage has been done to some of their better players.Toopi,Meli and Jones are a shadow of themselves.
The rest of the teams are simply making up the numbers although Cronulla's first 17 won't be a bad side.
Don't think Souths will come last.
Put some money on the SEA EAGLES.I have never seen a team defend worse than this mob.It has been going on for 4 years.
