Top 8 predictions

[Mark from Brisbane]

Almost time to look back 7 months and check out what you picked as your top 8.

I’m not sure if anyone got the order right but that’s irrelevant really it was about picking who would be in the top 8.

If you participated , go back for a look and tell me how close you’ve got ( understanding that 8th spot won’t be decided until this weekend ).

Need the raiders to beat the Rorters and the Storm to get up..

We won't know until after this round but incredible that almost every tipster included the Raiders and they probably won't make it.

To remind yourself of your prediction, look here

Predict the top 8 ( 2021) + Spooner

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...

If Titans or Raiders sneak through I'll have 7 of the 8 with the Knights the surprise

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Well I got some things right!!

 

[StuBoot]

Not that they predicted their Top 8
but @Jay Eagle did pick Garrick as top points scorer with……256!

March 11.

Rethink based on trial form, injuries etc

1. Rabbitohs
2. Panthers
3. Raiders
4. Roosters
5. Storm
6. Titans
7. Sea Eagles
8. Eels

Broncos wooden spoon

Raiders screwed me, plus I really hate rating the Scum highly at the beginning of the season. Sharks have done well, as have the Knights.

Pretty much everyone had the Faders in their top 8, I’m gobsmacked that just two years after being in the GF they aren’t even good enough to make the 8.

Similar to others' predictions ...

In no particular order, this is a (hopeful) prediction for 2021

Sea Eagles
Titans
Panthers
Storm
Roosters
Rabbitohs
Raiders
Eels

Yes I wasn’t so much interested in the position of the teams ( almost impossible to predict exactly ) just the composition of the 8.

Titans with Fifita have been dissapointing.

Faders very dissapointing.

Knights a little surprising I must say.

Manly very surprising , thought it would be much lower in the 8.

2 Key things there Mark

1) INJURIES /OUTS
2) TEAM HARMONY

Raiders missing Pommy 7 Williams big time and coincides with a team division internally, which shows clearly on the field - Williams situated handled differently and they are playing finals 100%
Same with Knights, who have been disrupted by long outs with key players Ponga, Pearce and Safiti...not sure harmony there, but look a bit unsettled on the field imo.
Manly have has the best season in a while in regards to keeping a settled team on the field and as for harmony, have not seen players running in after tries or making big defensive plays like this since 2006 - 2013.

Team spirit currently is like the decade of dominance!!

Not sure if this equates to winning a premiership ( this year ) but if it keeps up this team will be kicking arse for a few years to come.
