I can understand Melbourne being favourites but how are we 5th
We came 5th this season with a busted team, if it wasn't for the shocking injury and suspension toll we would be playing this weekend to be in grand final.

I will be jumping on those odds, I really can't understand how we can't be 2nd or 3rd at worst.
We should be equal with Penrith.
Manly got lucky with Turbo carrying the team and very few injuries this season.
Souths will be without a proven half and coach.

[Tommy Smith]

Yeah I think the $9 is clearly overs.

Those odds are also an indictment on the shitty state of the NRL.

It'll be the same 4 or so teams that have a chance. Not just for 2022, but 2023 at least.

The completion is so unbalanced with more awful teams than ever before.

[Easts75]

I'd have us 3rd pick after Storm and Penrith

[ism22]

Put some money down if you think it's a bargain. I don't personally bet because we have NFI what will happen in 2022. Like with Pemriff's rise (and Canberra in 2019), ANY teams could magically come good. This may well be linked to how the NRL decides to officiate the game and the like so I wouldn't bet on it at all.

We've lost Friend & Cords so I think it's still a massive unknown how we'll fare without them. I certainly hope we're up there with the best but who knows!

I mean...
- Souffs are losing Wayne, Reynolds, Gagai (and Benji?) so who knows where they'll be? Maybe I'm just a jaded Easts fan but I reckon they're going down the shytter.

- Melbourne's losing Addo-Carr and Kaufusi (I dare say more, aren't Eisenhuth and Bellamy on their way out?) I don't think they'll be invincible for much longer. If anything I'd say they've been bolstered by COVID-19 because most of their team's from QLD (not Melbourne) so they've all been playing 'at home' in front of their families...etc.

- Manly's basically been a beneficiary of a lot of teams s*cking. Trbo's magically found form and he's running rampant against tired, broken teams. Good on him but after a reset, it won't be that easy.

- Pemriff's already starting to dip. I think people are getting sick of the Cleary family doing all press conferences as a cocky father/son team. They have a lot of over-rated players who are gonna be demanding contract upgrades (while simultaneously dropping outta rep selection as Pemriff's form dips). Nothing lasts forever - I suspect they'll dip when the bulk of their players begin contract negotiations.

- Parra were always cr@p. No way they're on par with us as premiership favourites. They were somehow 3rd for most of the season (mostly because we were broken + Trbo was broken), but they've got nothing. The king of Parra? Gawd they love pumping up deadbeat players.

- The rest are just random guesses. No way I'd put money on any of 'em.

Dont complain go & put $100 on the Chooks then wait & see if you have the last laugh.

I mean, there is really no rational reason to believe that Souths will go better than us next year. Losing Reynolds, Gagai, Su'a and Bennett. As well as probably Marshall, and there is every chance that Milford gets his contract torn up as well. You'd be out of your mind to have them shorter odds than us, based on all of that.

If I was framing the market, I would only have the Storm above us, as they've proven time and again they'll always be thereabouts, and their roster is still fantastic.

A lot of people seem to be underestimating the difference Collins and Keary will likely make to this team (not the mention getting Joey back), as well as, you would have to think, a few of our young guys improving through the off-season and early part of next season, like E. Butch, Whyte, Suaalii etc.

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Not related to us, but gosh... wests are a better chance than st merge???? Neither will win it but seriously Wests surely would be favourites for the spoon next year?

[The Bondi spy]

Perhaps the odds include the fact that we have had bad injuries the past 2 seasons and there is no reason to say it couldn’t happen again

There is no way we are the second best team next year at full strength; our backline as it is will be pretty underwhelming and the forward pack is lacking the Cordner replacement because sitili isn’t it.

We did well under immense pressure this year but we aren’t the second best team minus Cordner, Friend and Morris x 2

[ism22]

I don't bet but yeah... I suspect that while it's unlikely we'll win (hence why I don't bet), this will seem like a pretty good deal mid-season if we're doing better than 2021 (which you'd bloody well hope given all our injuries - I'll be pretty bummed if we do the same/worse with all our troops back).

Again though, that's why I don't bet. Being bummed about results is bad enough without having to worry about losing $$$. An easier way to get more than $900 is (starting today) to put away $50 from each pay cheque between now and the 2022 premiership. Just go into your work's HR system and re-direct $50 into an online saver or something... you won't notice it at all. If we win, lose or draw, you can use that to rent a nice hotel room in the city (e.g. a $$$ room at Hotel Intercontinental, start with cocktails at Bulletin Bar and end up having a grand old time). Much easier than betting IMO. Paid off our mortgage that way, while people on way more $$$ than us are still whinging about how unfair the property market is.

I agree. We need to add some experience to make us top 2.

Yet the idiots running the game want more teams. The ‘talent’ will be spread even further and the standard will be even worse.

How many really good games were there this season? How many blow outs?

I actually think we are over's until we start beating the top teams we're not a real threat

I don't really see the reasoning behind that. Keary is borderline the best half in the comp, and if he plays anywhere near his ability (which to be fair, there is a question mark over) that is an immeasurable boost to the team.
Collins was also just about the best Prop in the world at the time of his injury. Adding these two players to literally any team is going to be massive.

It's hard to see the Rabbitohs not declining at least a little, and the Eels' roster still isn't as good as ours. The Panthers would be realistically the only side that I'd consider placing above us. I guess you could argue Manly, but I know which roster I'd rather.

[King Salvo]

I think that's pretty fair based on the fact that only 2 established players are returning from injury in Keary and Collins and both from ACL's - Still questions about who will play in the halves with Keary / left centre and some may say right wing and the old goal kicking issue.

Plus they have a new head of performance and defence coach coming in who i assume will have different ideas and plans to those they have replaced - could take some time for the players to adjust to these changes.

Robbo did say that Fitzy and Kingy were in charge of the attack as well so will Kingy take full charge of this or someone else will be involved as well.

They need also to keep developing all players games and improving aspects of individuals and the teams game - increasing set completion rates and decreasing error rates for starters
