All good things to happen to Manly on the field in 2016 goes without saying so I'll focus on outside Manly...
1. In March, two days after being announced NRL CEO, indisputable evidence is uncovered that Greenberg was involved in systematic salary cap rorting at the Bulldogs. He leaves the game in disgrace and his role is immediately taken over by Geoff Toovey. While the Bulldogs play for no points in 2016, Tooves renegotiates the TV deal and secures an additional $900m. He promptly announces that all of the additional funds will be used to upgrade Brookie so it can become the home of rugby league, hosting all State of Origins and finals games moving forward. He confirms rumours that, despite all the money it will cost, the "away" sheds still won't have any hot water.
2. In April, Kieren Foran and Brad Arthur have a public falling out after it is revealed Arthur had agreed to give his salary to Foran but later reneged. The Eels end up not playing for points in 2016 as the Foran-Arthur deal breaches the salary cap, and is just one of hundreds of deals revealed at the time including, remarkably, delivering a semi full of cash to Radradra's house. It wouldn't have made a difference though because they don't win a game in 2016 anyway.
3. In July the Rabbitohs are sitting in second place behind the undefeated Sea Eagles. Russell Crowe then finally goes public about his relationship with the Burgess mum after being filmed in a compromising position with her by the same bloke who filmed Mitchell Pearce. Shortly afterwards he marries her and he takes on the name Rusty Burgess. After returning from his honeymoon in August he decrees that only Burgi can play for Souths. He therefore announces that the entire team except Sam, Tom and George are sacked with immediate effect. The NRL grant special dispensation to allow them to take Luke back from us, but they have to pay us compensation for giving him to us in the first place. They are also allowed to recruit Baby John Burgess (of Wheel of Fortune fame) to play hooker. Rusty pulls on a jersey himself and assumes the role of captain coach and lock forward, forcing Sam into the second row with Luke. The lack of an entire backline and any interchange players proves to be an unforeseen problem for the self proclaimed SuperCoach Rusty, and they fail to score a point for the rest of the season.
They could all happen.
