[The Who]

On the face of it:
Wests Tugers and Illawarra look to have done poorest while the Tits and the Worriers seem to have strengthened. But, it's more about a club's contracted players improving, and unearthing a future star from their development squad.
I'm pleased Manly realised that we lacked height and pace in the outside backs and I'm expecting a lot more tries from clever kicks this season.

 

[maxta]

Highly suprised by this Bronco improvement predictions...lost young Offenue and David Fifita was the outstanding X factor player along with Staggs and Haas....Big loss....
Have an improved hooker in the aging McCulloch, but only added Asiata from the Cows...I like young Deardon, but Milford is a myth these days and they will struggle and are bottom 4 imo....Boyd - they kept talking him up in recent seasons but should have retired a few years ago...

 

[Disco]

Titans have clearly done great

Too early to tell with nearly every other team as I could make an argument either way.

That said Dragons and Broncos not looking great

SHARKS

2021 gains: Aiden Tolman (Sharks)

how can anyone call that a gain?

 

[DUFFMAN]

Roosters have done well and can pick up a few players that get home sick during the season after losing $6,000,000 in players and only signing up $2,000,000 worth.

 

[simon64]

Evidently, the Tigpies lost Josh Aloiai to the Broncs. Proof reading anyone ?

 

[40 nil]

With the addition of Mansour, do Souths have the most potent backline in the comp?

1. Mitchell
2. Mansour
3. Gagai
4. Graham
5. Johnston
6. Walker
7. Reynolds

Mansour & Johnston will likely score a lot of tries...

And no mention of Saab leaving the Dragons in their loss column. And Jacob Host hated the Dragons so much he left twice.

Thats one of the best for sure.. 2021 will be interesting
