Predict the top 8 ( 2021) + Spooner

[Mark from Brisbane]

Yep with a bit over a month to go it’s on again , predict the top 8, as you see it , for 2021 AND who you think will be last.

Like last year this thread can be live until kick off then I’ll ask the mods to lock it down and stick it up the top and we can review as to who got the closest in early September.

I’m going to leave my selections for a bit BUT remember you can come in an modify them if you do it now and right up to kick off!!

Good luck everyone .

1. Rabbits
2. Storm

4. Roosters

[pjayz]

1. Rabbitohs
2. Panthers
3. Raiders
4. Storm
(still up there, but will falter in the finals)
5. Roosters
6. Sea Eagles
(could be higher if we sort out our nine)
7. Titans
(will be a dangerous team)
8. Eels
(will scrape in ahead of the Sharks who drop out).
——————————
Spoon: Warriors (I like their recruits but not the coach. Brown can’t lift a team and they will have a full season playing in Aus away from home - that will take its toll).

I would love the broncos to go back to back spooners and I reckon they are a chance.

The $1.85 sportsbet is paying on us making the 8 looks like money for jam based on all these totally unbiased neutral observations above...

I’m still contemplating but I think there’s a certainty or two.

1) Rorters to struggle , definitely won’t be top 4 , at best 7/8.

2) Drizzle , even sans no Scam will be up there.

3) Dragqueens are going to have a **** year , you can tell.

4) Worriers will struggle because they are based here full time but will cause some issues at times.

5) Donkeys to improve but only slightly , at best bottom 4.

The spoon is so much harder to pick. Injuries and missing out on a bit of luck can really derail a season.

I have really not looked at other teams this off season so can't make a call yet.
That said happy to go bongos for the spoon.
