1. With James Tedesco and Cooper Cronk on fire, the Roosters start the season as the team to beat.
I wouldnt be so sure. Combinations anyone? It wouldnt surprise me if it takes them 3 months to get their new combos satisfactory.
2. Souths welcome back GI but the superstar fails to make a major impact as Bunnies struggle under new coach Anthony Seibold.
Duh
3. Matt Moylan is loving life at the Sharks, excelling at fullback. The 2016 premiers look reinvigorated and ready to challenge for the crown again.
Agree. Can see Moylan flourishing at the Sharks. Hang on, whos going to be their 5/8? Thats key also
4. Drama at Manly as they continue to hold off on Trent Barrett's contract extension. Injury to Tommy Turbo doesn't help and Dylan Walker not quite the same player after serious leg injury.
Lol you idiot
5. Dean Pay is reminded it’s 2018 – not 1995 – as his attempted re-brand of the Bulldogs fails to reignite the club. To make matters worse, Kieran Foran again breaks down.
Duh & duh. The Foz is injury prone and aint what he once was
6. Josh Reynolds loving life and killing it at Wests Tigers, helping them reach the top eight.
Agree. Can see Reynolds going well and Ivan Cleary guiding them close to the 8.
7. There will be big, big drama for one club as salary cap cheating is aired in public.
Duh, the system employed by the NRL is a joke and allows for cheating, there will always be teams being caught
8. Stephen Kearney is sacked as Warriors coach mid-season and replaced by Michael Maguire.
Duh
9. Brisbane not the same side as they struggle to cope with the reduction in Thursday and Friday night games. Lol first world problems
10. New coach - and no more north coast camps - but same old result as Brad Fittler presides over NSW's 2-1 series loss to Queensland.
A NSW victory wouldnt surprise, provided a few players with real heart are selected (ie not Dugan, Ferguson, Hayne)
11. The top eight finishes: Roosters, Nth Qld, Cronulla, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Parramatta, Wests Tigers. Lol righto Nostradamus
12. Tedesco wins Clive Churchill Medal as Roosters overcome Cowboys to win the competition. Storm make it to the second week of the finals.
I think the Lurker is actually Shayne Hayne
