No cause I saw a broncos player once at chermside so it's entirely relevant.

Got a feeling we are in for a good year, Rothfield has us missing the 8 which always goes well for him.This is his 8:
Cowboys
Storm
Roosters
Sharks
Panthers
Eels
Knights
Dragons

Think the knights are still a season off too, although they may surprise.They certainly have a more capable roster than last year. Eels I will wait til I see them play a few games before I decide, it's just how much of a cancer Jesus turns out to be with them, they did well last year and were really the only team that gave the Storm a run for their money in the finals. But pretty much agree about the Panthers, they seem to be going backwards at this stage of their 5 year plan. I would have us finishing 4-5 and if Niko turns out to be a gun then anything is possible. Time for Milf to step up too.

Garbage Maloney will be great for them, just like every club he's thrown on a jersey for. He makes players around him better.

Someone more tech savvy than me may be able to post this article and table but they have our spine at fifth. Thoughts?

not quite worst ... they have the Titans, Tigers and Raiders behind them.
Out of the top 5 they listed, IMO we have the 2nd best spine behind the Storm. I reckon we have a better spine than Souths, Panthers and Sharks (other "top 5" spines)

Sorry, turns out I had a stroke while typing that message. I meant “4th worst”. Which is obviously terribly inaccurate. They have the best spine in the comp bar none.

They have great halves. But Coote is below average for a fullback and I have never really rated Granville that highly. I think he's a bench utility that plays great for 10-15 minutes a half.
But looking at that list at least the Knights, Dragons and the Bulldogs should be below them.

I usually wait 5-10 rounds before making any bold predictions, there's always one or two surprise packets.
Speaking of predictions is anyone planning on making a prediction questionnaire thread like in previous years? They were always a bit of fun to look back on at the end of the season.
