1 Panthers - Will take a while to get the newer combinations, but so much depth are still team to beat
2 Roosters - Look at the roster ..... will simply be a Top 4 team in the forseeable future
3 Souths - Top 4 definites and a genuine threat for the title
4 Cowboys - Young and willing with quality and again a Top 4
5 Sharks - Ready to rival most but still a shade off imo - halves struggle to control
6 Eels - Papali n Maho a big out but great props with 6,7 and 1 who will win them plenty of games
7 Sea Eagles - Biggest ceiling depending on young guns - props, a fit Turbo and anything is possible
8 Storm - No Papp for a while - 4 key forwards gone and not replaced...too much on halves, finals?
Wooden Spoon - Newcastle , Illawarra and Redcliffe - would add Tigers but their pack "should" keep them off the cellar dwellars
