2012 Predictions NRL

[Guest]

Weve got the forwards to do it. But not the mettle to go on with it. Not yet.

I like our forwards too, but points have to come from somewhere.

Our defence outwide and at the back is still suspect against good halves.

I think out of all the teams, our performance will be one of the harder ones to predict due to our youth.

We know what we will get from Pearce, Friend, Anasta, SKD, Perret, Maubs and Mini. But players like Tasi, Mose, Kennedy, Taka, Tagive, BJ, Moga, Cordner, Evans, Alofa are all young and have been in and out of FG (or no FG at all). If these boys can play like they did at the back end of last season, we should make the 8. However you would think there would be a fair bit of inconsistency and form fluctuation due to their youth and inexperience.

I am tipping them to click more often than not and sneak into the 8.

Minor Premiers: Storm
Spoon: Eels after Sandow loses the plot
Sliding down the ladder: Dragons
Climbing up the ladder: Canberra (if they can keep Campese on the field for the season)

1. Warriors
2. Storm
3. Cowboys
4. Tigers
5. Broncos
6. Bulldogs
7. Roosters
8. Eels

Spoon: Penrith

Manly will start well but with less depth injuries will bite hard

Dragons will be battling with Penrith and Raiders for the spoon. They just can not score points

i dont think the warriers will feature as much this coming season, apart from myles the titans have bought pretty well? so i carnt see them with the spoon,. love to see carney and the sharks finally get a trophy even if it is wooden!

Roosters will win... the other teams are irrelevant.

[Guest]

WTF?? Roosters will be 4th or 5th in Rnd 26 after that who knows??

My sole prediction is that Cronulla will beat a lot of ass next season.

That team and that coach look strong to me.

Only one way that will happen........TC off the grog & playing to his 2010 form.
Otherwise a battle for the spoon, for them.

Todd could get pissed off his face every Saturday at Northies and Rothfield would still write feel-good pieces on him. Unless he commits a criminal act he will not get much bad publicity at all. I think it's the media coverage that damages his form not how drunk he gets on the weekend. No one can deny the attacking talent he has and that the big thing that the Sharks have been missing. They will struggle to replace Snowden and Douglas but Gibbs isn't the worst replacement. They have a few very good young backrowers. Probably miss decent strike out wide. But if the forwards do their job all year the Sharks will beat some good sides. Overall, there team probably isn't good enough to make the 8 though but they'll come close I think.

Was looking at the dragons side for next year and it is a woeful looking side. If they don't have composure that they've shown under Bennett they will come dead last. When they're bad they are terrible and they will be relying massively on their defence so if they don't complete well they will gets smashed by the better teams that know how to attack.

Yak, he commits another criminal act, he won't have to worry about bad press, he'll have to worry about not dropping the soap in the showers at Cessnock "Correctional Centre."

He's got a suspended sentence from his idiocy in Goulburn.
