What's everyone's thoughts?

CONTENDERS

Penrith
Souths
Broncos
Cowboys
Warriors ???
Interesting....you did this in July so fair play and now Souffs are in line for disaster club of the year, and way off being contenders.
Newcastle was won 7 straight and look strong and the Warriors maybe 1 ? not 2.
Point, I guess look back in July and how stuff just flips by end of August.
Except the Riff, Bronks and Drizzle.

Yeah I've been updating after every round.

I have Penrith beating Broncs in the GF. Everyone else is just making up the numbers

Watch young Jesse McLean go tonight for Panthers, playing his preferred position at fullback, only 18 years old, Will be Crichtons replacement next year in centres.
This is the big difference still between a Penrith junior and the rest of Sydney teams.

I don't think McLean will replace Crichton next year. Taylan May will be back. He will play left wing. Turuva will play centre.

I think Taylan May came out saying he wants to play centre, be interesting to see what they settle with.

So whatever option they go with I can't see McLean ahead of May or Jenkins in the pecking order.

Pretty sure they also re-signed Daine Laurie & have Peachey there as well.

There is no one that can stop the panthers. I can’t see anyone beating them.

The only thing that could stop them is a heap of injuries or bans for their top players at the same time.

Or a player getting sent off during a game.
