I’ll flip this around and tell you why the other teams won’t win:
1. Souffs won’t win because they have lost a lot of fire power and it is almost impossible to go Back to Back.
2. Canterbury won’t win because they have a weak halves pairing and their big pack will struggle with the fast play the ball.
3. Nth Qld’s only chance of winning is to finish top 2 and keep on winning so they only play the GF in Sydney. History suggests they can’t win enough games in Sydney to finish top 2 (I’m not so sure this year).
4. Easts won’t win because they have been weakened by the departure of SBW & Mini.
5. The Scum won’t win, they are on the slide.
6. Cronulla won’t win because they are Cronulla.
7. Brisbane won’t win because they are an injury ravaged group coached by a dinosaur who hasn’t had a modern game plan since 2006.
8. The rest aren’t worth mentioning except for us and Penrith.
Penrith came so so close last season even though they were riddled with injuries. I don’t expect that to happen again this year so I am predicting a Penrith V Manly GF.
