Where will we finish on the ladder in 2014?

I reckon 3rd behind Roosters and Souths. Storm have an aging big 3 and i see them slipping. Manly may be 4th.

And the spoon will go to Tigers IMO. They will have to hold off a stern challenge from Canberra.

I went with 5-6 based on the fact I expect we to be a competitive team that is lacking the final polish to win the close games that separate the top 4 teams with the rest of the comp,
In saying that, my blue and white glasses keep telling me we will win the comp just because we are the bulldogs and it's our gods given right to rein supreme

3 or 4, maybe 1 or 2. We had our top team on the field 6 or 7 times last year and we still had our chances to jump into the top 4. Then add the disruptions from Barba, change of CEO etc and 2013 was nowhere near the train wreck it could have been

I think 5th is realistic going off last season.

I know ill get criticised but i think weve gone backwards and were lucky to make the 8 ,if we have perret and brown in the back 3 we will struggle big time and i feel unless we unearth a star like tempo or thompson kills it well struggle big time and not make the 8

I don't think we have gone backwards as much as to cause us to slip to 8th from 6th given the train wreck our 2013 season was, but I do think it's plausible to see other clubs have improved enough to over take us on our ladder position,
That being said, I am expecting a better performance from certain players this year, and have a feeling a young guy will be unearthed that could elevate us, well that's my hope anyway.

At best we could be anywhere as high as 6th.

Realistically 7-8.

We could potentially collect the spoon if we repeat our 2013 form. Our roster has aged and is substantially weaker.

7-8 unfortunately! Only hope is if our rookies have a boom year. Just the fact that Perret will most likely have first crack at FB tells me everything about this season ahead. Happy to be proven wrong though.

I chose 3-4 but if I could choose 4-5 I'd opt for that!

i think 4th or 5th but a more consistent finish, not an up and down streaky season

I voted 9-10. I'm hoping I'm wrong but I'd rather underestimate and be suprised than overestimate and being upset.

in that case i voted for spoon instead

no chance for me to be disappointed, worst case scenario is my pick works out

I went for the 3-4 slot.

Firstly Barba is gone, therefore we should have a united team all focused on winning.

The other thing that has to happen is that our forwards all fire for the full 80 minutes for the full 24 rounds.

If that happens the "Dogs of War" will be back.
