Who will win the premiership?

[Moedogg]

I reckon Panthers will be four but let's be honest, they're not the same Panthers team of the last couple of seasons, they've lost too many good players.

Storm are just making up the numbers.

I think it's between the Roosters and Broncos.

I don’t think the panthers will get a fourth this year Moe. I’m hoping the broncos an Walsh if it comes down to it.

but damn you got this question going very early on Round one has barely cooled off yet.. Love it!!

 

[Freakzilla]

Closest comp in a long time. I think it's out of 6 teams:

Panthers
Broncos
Roosters
Storm
Eels
Cowboys

Lol yeah you're right a bit too early but I reckon premiership is wide open. I think we've successfuly managed to dismantle the Panthers juggernaut.

Roosters are pretty strong across the park, with the addition of Dom Young and their emerging young forwards.

Who's your dark horse?

Cowboys for Mine. After watching their fluent attack.

They didn't even make the GF when he had his Dally M season. You think that they are that much better now?

adding brooks helps them massively

They had Foran that year & he was very good.

 

[EL Hefe]

Melbourne

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Roosters are my favourites, best middle third rotation in the comp with Collins, May, JWH and the racist lol. Cheese looks way better / fitter already add Teddy, Manu, Suaalii, Young and they have strike everywhere

 

[Silverdale phantom]

Hard to say after 1 round.

Scumbag Chook$ looked good.

Panthers depends on injuries.

Cowboys beat a bunch of bums yesterday. Too early to tell.

Broncos a chance.

Parra usually shit the bed when it matters.

 

[Rod67]

Panthers to make it 4 in a row but that's where the streak ends. Losing Luai and a few others at years end will see them drop out of Grand Final contention.

Their biggest threat will be IMO the Rorters.

The "Godfather" doesn't like losing for too long so will use his ace card in TPA's, that every club has, but nothing like Uncle Nick's. He gives marquee players an offer they can't refuse. Hence why they've had a virtual rep squad when they won back-to-back titles.

I have my doubts over the Broncos with the loss of Farnsworth and Flegler to the Dolphins and Capewell to the Warriors.

Melbourne should never be underestimated while Bellamy is coaching them. They're definitely in the mix. Cowboys best of the rest.

Write your own ticket about the other teams making the GF let alone winning it.

Think that year though freak, turbo still missed a lot of footy through injury. Which made the dally m achievement even more memorable.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

I've got an ugly feeling Parra will be in the mix again like I did in 2022.

Once were Warriors will choke, that is a given.

I think it could be Rorters, Parra and Storm. I can't see Sharts, Cowboys or Warriors beating those teams at their best.

1. Storm
2. Parra
3. Rorters

I can't see Panther doing a 4-peat.

I don't think Broncos have the system that can withstand player departures like Penrith or Storm where they can maintain those high levels no matter who puts on the jersey.

I'd have Warriors ahead of the Eels in making the Grand Final IMO.

Think Fletch on Fox made the claim that they would make the GF this year. They're a big mobile squad and getting Capewell will only help them.

They still made the top 4 & he played all the finals. They just weren't close to good enough.

They got shut down by the Storm who made it look easy.

As soon as Manly hit one of those powerhouse teams like Storm they will crumble.

I’d never back against an inform turbo though. He won us that origin series imo. Same year I think to dally m.
