Had an annual discussion on the new season with a mate and for the first time in years we were on the same page which is unusual.
so general consensus from us was
top 4
Penrith ( still bloody good )
North Queensland( last year no fluke and v good coach)
Melbourne ( caveat that with Papenhauzen fit and Christian Welsh fit) and
Roosters. ( we should improve after last year….so much depends upon Keary and the new recruit from Melbourne……I felt he was poor last year by his standards )
bottom 4 of the 8
Sharks( probably overachieved and haven’t recruited. )
Canberra. ( always there about)
Souths ( see above)
Parra ( lost a player or two and last year was probably their chance )
close to the 8.
Dogs. Obvious recruitment drive but struggle to score points.
Tigers we disagreed on this. On don’t rate Sheens like others do. New recruits are a welcome but not saviours
Brisbane.probably as athletically talented as Penrith but just don’t know how to play as a team. Full of individuals who were child superstars but struggle with consistency and sacrifice
the dregs.
Aukland. Just always shit
Manly. My mate reckons Siebold is shit house. I think Flanagan is assistant so that will help. The bloke is a see you next Tuesday but can coach.
GC. Disappointing last year. They always slip back into mediocrity
Saints. Captain Hook might get the chop this year. Money should be on him first to go. You punt your assistants then you are on life support cause you are the one that hired them and then used them as scape goats
the new Brisbane team Redcliffe. Shit roster. Old coach running the show.
Newcastle. Roster not good enough and coach seems bereft of ideas and energy
