TBH, if one looks at the top coaches and the roster they have to work with then I cannot see the Dogs in front the following for019
1. Storm - C Bellamy
2. Roosters - T Robinson.
3. Bronco's - Wayne Bennet
4. Sharks - S Flannigan
5. Cowboys - P Green
6. Panthers - P Gould ;-)
7. Dragons - Paul McGregor
8. Raiders - R Stuart
Then we look at the remaining sides we need to fight out just to get into the top 10...
9/ Eels - Brad Arthur will be tuff side to beat next year IMO.
10/ Tigers - I Cleary....thats if he isn't at the Panthers for 2019 and the Knights and Titans will be no easy beats for 2019 so, baring injuries I believe that the dogs will end up somewhere between 10 and 13th in my opinion.
