1st Manly,the whole team
2nd who gives a

 

[maxta]

Manly's best player in 2016 will be DCE, with a top 4 finish.
Best buy will be Parcell, though adding that Tough factor of Kapow, Myles & Lussick will be the missing ingredient that success will be built on.
Other signings....only other team I dont hate is Warriors, so Sheck now not a Rooster, will be great to see in action.
The legitimate contenders are Cows, Brisbane, Roosters with Dogs, NZ & Sharks able to almost compete.
Other good buys - Maloney, Walker, Burgess & James Roberts

 

[Disco]

I see Sharks 6-10th

 

[NickRobbo1998]

1.) Storm
2.) Broncos (backline is questionable)
3.) Warriors (media hype and inconsistent)
4.) Cowboys (media hype will die)
5.) Manly (new 5/8, new pack, new coach)
6.) Sharks (new halves, overestimated tho)
7.) Dragons (beast forwards, inconsistent)
8.) Roosters (no Maloney RTS Jennings?)
9.) Raiders (backline defence will be awful)
10.) Dogs (Halves and all will struggle)
11.) Eels (Eels)
12.) Panthers (Forwards? New Coach)
13.) Rabbitohs (Burgess & no media hype)
14.) Knights (could go alright, doubt it tho)
15.) Titans (Bahahahaha!!!)
16.) Tigers (Sadness Intensified)

Sorry NickRobbo but that is worth a troll rating. Storm at 1 pfft.. As John Mac would say 'you can not be serious '

dont get me wrong, i hate the storm to the core, but out of those top 4 sides of 2015, their the ones who havnt changed drastically, so i let the others drop and just left them, u could swap brons or cowboys with the storm to ease the hatred of cheating purple scum.

Mate tbh it is a very wide open comp in my humble opinion. No team is a stand out. I don't think the cows will go B2B. Roosters can't see it. Broncos maybe. Storm nah. We are as good a chance as anyone. Sharkies smokie.

 

[Clint]

Sorry forgot the Warriors. Very real chance.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Usually there is not a huge change in the top 8 year to year (from memory, haven't checked that!) and from last years finalists Dogs Rabbits and Dragons look least likely to excel again. Up and comers are us (obviously) Warriors, Raiders and Eels.
My guess is Manly and Raiders to make the 8 at the expense of Rabbits and Dragons, with Warriors (bye bye coach) and Eels just missing out.

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

Dogs won't make the 8.

 

[Stevo]

Have heard from a pro punter that we are a real chance of taking out the premiership

9.Dragons

[Jase Seaeagle]

WTF. Why is everyone nearly putting the Groncos on top. Nah will not happen.

 

[Brookvale2015]

My premiership contenders

Broncos-great squad, quality forwards, better Backline, hungry for another chance

Warriors-Great spine, big forwards, solid Backline

Manly-Great squad, good balanced forwards with some grunt, amazing Backline hungry for a return to the finals

Dark horses

Sharks-quality young guns, solid halves and will want to finish well for there retiring forwards

Raiders-I know I didn't put them in the 8 but if they do make I think they could beat anyone

 

[Clay]

The Broncos have one of the best if not the best roster. They have a favourable draw, they are media darlings and they aren't as effected by Origin as they were in the late 90's early 2000's.
I put the Raiders in 8th because they lost a lot of close games last year and have improved their roster and saw a stat they have the best draw out of anyone.
Ricky is their obv downfall.

My honest opinion about my list is anyone I placed 2-10 could finish anywhere between 2-10.This will be the tightest Comp ever in my opinion

[DUFFMAN]

I see us finishing around 3-6 and making the grand final.

I hope the Eels miss out on finals because of a poor for and against.
Nothing would be better then them winning on Friday in round 26 and then having a upset on Sunday pushing them down to 9th.
