2012 Final Ladder Predictions Anyone?

[Guest]

I'm sure we won't be come rnd 26.

If we get caught rorting the salary cap from all these players we're linked to, we might. At least we haven't got any recent premierships they can take off us.

Brisbane - great young side. The makings of a top longterm team. a few years ahead of us. top props Hannant/Civo + Thaiday+ and strong backline, I feel if their 5/8 does the basics they will be hard to beat. gillet,beale,Hoffman,Reed,Jhral,Hodges one of the best 1-5 and just a good a pack. 5/8 & 9 is their weakness

Newcastle - Benny + a good roster

Storm - Bellamy will find a way

Manly - One of the strongest rosters on paper still

Tigers - Good Lineup across the park. i rate Moltzen at halfback.

Dogs - If they fix their 5/8 woes and Barba gets the mistakes out I feel they also have a strong lineup. + Des will ensure finals

The last 2 spots will be between
Saints - No Benny, but still a strong enough roster for finals

Cowboys - Thurston

Us - Have to keep the faith. solid all over but lacking star quality. the last 4 games showed what we can do

Sharks - Decent pack & potentially good halves. depends on Carney

Wabbits - Good coach. good pack. halves ?

the unpredicatble: NZ, Parra, Titans, Canberra

The dead: Penrith

[QUOTE=melon....;172145]Roosters 9 th

After losing some crucial games against lowly teams like the sharks and GC....we just miss the 8. A young inexperienced pack doing its best but not enough as an incomplete back line with no quality depth.sercomes to injury and a lack of cohesion and finishing skills to cruel us.

goes to show that a top 8 is a bit farcical considering how bad a yr we had last yr, and finished about 2 wins from the 8.

chooks 9th.

I feel the Dragons will get the spoon.

The loss of Bennett, Boyd & Gasnier. FB & centre will be a problem, they have Kyle Stanley who is good but not in the Boyd class. Beau Scott will probably move back to the centres but will be plauged by constant contract negotiations & may leave for Parra.
Hornby has already got injury concerns meaning Soward will have to step up????
I think Bennett was able to get the best out of Weyman but whether he can still play like that remains to be seen.

Big fall from grace. I cant wait.

Easts 6th & throw darts at the rest...

Half the teams have a new coach, it will be the most open comp in years with heaps of upsets

Tigers will surprise & head south on the leaderboard, Toddy & the Sharks will head north on the leaderboard. Eels & Cowboys to be the new punks on the block. Souths will be what they are & stay south despite the stars.....

Just give me an auto pick at the lottery thanks....

I put us at 6, 7 or 8 come round 26. Smith has got a history with young sides, I reckon he can do it with this lot.

Chook.

Couldn't agree more. This is where Smith excells. I think we can sneak into the 8, if we don't get beaten around by injuries. But it will be a fairly inconsistent year as the new guys get used to the week in week out grind of the NRL.

Matt Bowen, Dallas Johnson, Kane Linnett, Ashton Sims, Robert Lui, Brent Tate, James Tamou etc etc.
Trust me, they will give the comp a good shake this year. A lot of their younger blokes have god experience now too

Very amusing.......i am 8 tequilas down...gimme a break

I am a shocker of a speller I am sure you will find plenty of mistakes in my popes. see what I mean.

[Guest]

Souths to be March premiers as per usual. Warriors to miss the 8,Raiders,Titans for spoon.Cowboys and Tigers to disappoint. Sharks to maybe make the 8. Dragons to have a massive fall from grace.

[Guest]

Warriors to win the comp. Parra in the 8 so that GWS dont have an impact & the Titans to make the 8 for the same reason. The NRL will look after it's own interests to make sure they keep all the league supporters.
If Newcastle dont make it then something is really wrong.
Des to get the Dogs there but not win the comp.
Sharks if Carney fires.
Roosters to sneak in.
Storm just.
