It’s a long way until even our final side is announced let alone kick off but I thought I’d float the thread based on what we’ve just seen, who will improve , who will drop back and where everyone sees us finishing the normal season.
Not really worried about the bottom half of the Comp just the eight that count.
Roosters
Very hard for me to see them not finishing top 2 again, and probably a fair shot at 3 in a row. If they add Murray and Frizzell they’ll be unstoppable!!
Storm
It’s all about Scam400 isn’t it, he plays they’ll finish top 4, he retires top 8 but lower down. I don’t have them in my top 4 at this stage but if Scam continues on maybe ( although he’s another year older).
Raiders
With that English half back and little change otherwise top 2 for me, and possibly a repeat of last weekends final possible.
Souths
I have them dropping back to the bottom of the eight especially if the Roosters pinch Murray and they’ve lost a Burgi.
Parramatta
Think they’ll be about the same , still a real question mark over the Dalai’s ability in the big games. Around 6th to 8th with most wins at Wankfest.
Sea Eagles
All depends on injuries , and if we can get a full season from Tom. I hate to say it but I wonder if his career is going to be stained by constant injuries. With a fit Tom, and what we have now ( assuming no world beaters to come), I think we replace Souths in Top 4, and we’ll go at least one game more in the finals.
Sharks
Will improve , even with the loss of Gallen. My Smokey for top 4 to replace the Storm.
Broncos
Enough said, not top 8 in 2020, could slip well back.
Tigers / Bulldogs
One of these will make the 8, with both fighting for a position at the end.
This isn’t a “ pick your top 8” thread as it’s just way too far in advance but fun to think about who will and who won’t improve.
Likely Premiers, sadly it’s the Roosters again.
