2020 predictions

Why not? I’d rather watch us smash the rabbits than an orgy with models, then again I am 58 years old and the orgy will probably be my end

At least it will be a happy ending.

[Mickie Lane]

We won't win as our team is not as good as previous years, but we will be right in the thick of it up until the end.

Have to agree.

As in “ the case of the smiling stiffs “ movie?

I've got no idea how we'll go next year. I'm hoping the round robin of 2015 is the blue print - lost SBW, but didn't miss a beat.

[Easts75]

I'd guess 5th or 6th after the regular season , then hopefully have a fully fit squad to give it a red hot go

[Mad_Rabid_Rooster]

I tend to agree that we might finish a little lower after the regular season (my guess is around 4th or possibly 5th), but hopefully still high enough (need to be in the top four) to mount a serious challenge during the finals series. I said once before that we may have a slow start (we tend to anyway), but we should gradually pick up once our new combinations gel, and build up form and consistency. I hope for a three peat, of course, and I think we have some chance, but it is going to be a monumental task this time around. Despite this, it will be fascinating to see how our premiership defence unfolds.

No, the 2009 type... happy ending at 69 Albion St the morning after a 40-0 loss.

AKA 'WTF am I?!?!? One moment I was playing for the Harlem Globetrotters... the next I woke up in this place with my dick out'.

[mattyh]

maybe a goal robbo could set is " win from outside the top 4 " ? this squad could do it. finish fifth and win the whole thing ???

No Manly in your top 8?

Since he only named 7 teams in his top 8 you can put Manly in there as well.
Manly will be in the top 8 for sure & so will the Broncos unfortunately.

I think Penrith will make the 8 before the Bulldogs.

Not so sure about Brisbane. Not much experience in their pack. And not even Bellamy could get Croft to fire.

If their fullback stays healthy they are going to be very hard to beat

On paper I don't rate them that highly. However when DCE, Trbo x 2, Big Marty [okay and Walker] fire they can play some decent footy.

Unless all of them are absolute rubbish (unlikely), then I reckon they'll put in at least 1/2 a season, which is enough to make the 8. They almost snuck into the top 4 last year!
