the eight

[bold_eagle]

with many teams injured stars on the come back, next season wont get any easier!
bulldogs
newcastle
roosters
then theres this years eight teams. and who knows after recent seasons probably another low rated team will lift to better things.
find it hard thinking about all this maybe cronulla and melbourne are on the slide, still so early but interesting never the less.

'06 Eight (any order):
1. Dragons - too much talent
2. Parra - too much talent
3. Tigers - will be back
4. Cowboys - will be back
5. Broncos - always there
6. Manly - on the rise
7. Rooters - will come back
8. Dogs - will come back
--------------------------------
9. Sharks - have ability to sneak into 8th
10. Panthers - not what they used to be
11. Storm - lost too many good players

Panfers were strong towards the end of the season, they could improve.

 

[Crushercleal]

No Gulavao and no Ross equals no semis football for Panfers.

 

[clontaago]

Wheel we were strong at the back end of 04.

The eight?

I dont even know if monaghan will be with us next year. My o my this off season is a boring one.

 

[The Wheel]

Wheel we were strong at the back end of 04.

They have better halves than ours by a county mile in Gower & preston. Joe Gualvo didn't play in 2005 she he is no great loss, while despite losing Ross they will get Pulatua back from injury so their forwards will still be strong.

Also look at their back 3 - our don't rate in comparsion IMO.
