[TheLoneRooster]

NRL champions - drizzle
Dally M - papenhuizen
Wooden spooners - dragqueens
Jack Gibson winner - Angus Crichton
First coach to get sacked - hook

[King Salvo]

2021 NRL champions- Chooks
Dally M - Flanagan
Wooden Spooners- North Queensland
Jack Gibson Winner - Keary
First coach to get sacked - none but Fitzy will be coaching the Sharks in 2022 as Morris's current contract expires in 2021-i.e he will finish the season but wont be extended.

If the above occurs who will replace Fitzy at the Chooks if they do replace him that is - currently the NRL coaching staff is Robbo/Fitzy/Kingy/Cayless- Jason Taylor Bears Canterbury Cup Coach- i don't think he has a NRL role?

2021 NRL champions - The team the refs treat best with the 6-again rule
Dally M - Cameron Kick-In-The-Head
Wooden Spooners - Tigers
Jack Gibson Winner - Radley
First coach to get sacked - None. There will definitely be no coaches sacked this year!

The ladder will also definitely finish exactly like this!

2. Souffs
3. Roosters
4. Penrith
5. Raiders
6. Parramatta
7. Bulldogs
8. Titans
9. Broncos
10. Manly

NRL Champs - St George
Dally M - Brad Parker
Wooden Spoon- Raiders
Jack Gibson medal- Matt Ikavalu
First coach to be sacked- Bennett

Any budding bookies out there want to give me the odds of all 5 happening?

Not sure of the odds you would get but one would say the probability of all 5 events occurring (let alone 1) would be 0% Too many variables in some of these - Ikavalu for an example wont play enough games and Bennett wont be sacked - it's his last year in any case.

2021 NRL champions - Raiders
NRL Grand Final - Raiders v Bunnies
Dally M - Nathan Cleary
Wooden Spooners - Wests Tigers
Jack Gibson Winner - James Tedesco
First coach to get sacked - Brad Arthur (Eels)

Also...

• Roosters to finish 8th. We'll struggle with depth / injury / age this year compared to previous years.
• I love the guy, but the calls for Jake Friend to be moved on will grow deafening in volume.
• Cordner/JWH/Morris boys/Keary to spend extensive periods on the sideline. Cordner to announce retirement.
• Lam do to a better job than expected.
• Sitili and Butcher to not come on as well as expected
• Our best players this year in terms of performance will be Teddy, SST, Keary, Manu, Crichton, Radley.
• JWH, Friend, Toupo, Morris boys to be disappointing

[Mickie Lane]

I think Souths will be the 2021 champs.
Dally M - Latrell
Spoon - Cronulla
JG medal - Gus Crighton
1st sacked coach - Maybe Madge

Are you normally such an optimist??

You got the Raiders premiers and i've got them getting the wooden spoon!! They will probably end up smack in the centre of the ladder-making us both wrong

Lol...yeah, i think they've got a good little squad. Wighton, Klokstad, Hodgson, Papalli, Rapana, Tapine, Williams, James etc. Theyve got class in more areas of the park than most other teams. That said, the Rabbits v Raiders winner in my GF prediction was a toss of the coin. Raiders slightly better in the forwards, Rabbits slightly in the backs. Its not the way i want it to be, but its what is going to happen.

Why did YOU pick Raiders spoon? Inside info on cap breaches? Surely not based on the quality of the squad?
