@mariner4life yeah I also am not going to attempt a sneak preview, that takes time and I dont have that and I wont use spell check either, so fuck you pendants in advance lol. No idea on when they go back as the original date got canned thanks to NZ previous rules on when people could enter NZ, so potentially enough time to play some games now this year there.
I will say for the warriors that their top team could create a few headaches for the big teams. If they stay injury free and avoid suspension then potentially they should be top 8, even located where they are. The problem is that key players like SJs hammys are worse now than Turbos, Curran although impressive looks like a concussion magnet, E.Kotoa and CHT are also injury magnets and we have a forward pack that in general will go through a suspension rotation. Not to forget no Tohu until about half way through the season. Still at least we should look ok for round one, although a little toothless at fullback attackwise. How long does it take SJ to fit in? How long before Taniela Otukolo gets a run and Egan benched? How long also before CHT signs with Canberra to cover the Fogarty loss?
A Possible best 17
1. Reece Walsh, 2. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, 3. Rocco Berry, 4. Adam Pompey, 5. Marcelo Montoya, 6. Shaun Johnson, 7. Kodi Nikorima, 8. Matt Lodge, 9. Wayde Egan, 10. Addin Fonua-Blake, 11. Tohu Harris, 12. Euan Aitken, 13. Josh Curran, 14. Jazz Tevaga, 15. Bayley Sironen, 16. Ben Murdoch-Masila, 17. Bunty Afoa.Likely Round 1 17.
1. Chanel Tavita Harris, 2. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, 3. Rocco Berry, 4. Adam Pompey, 5. Marcelo Montoya, 6. Shaun Johnson, 7. Kodi Nikorima, 8. Bunty Afoa, 9. Wayde Egan, 10. Addin Fonua-Blake, 11. E.Katoa, 12. Euan Aitken, 13. Bayley Sironen, 14. Jazz Tevaga, 15. Josh Curran , 16. Ben Murdoch-Masila, 17. Aaron Pene.Top 4
Clearly I am hearing wont play until round 4 and a tough start to their draw. I suspect they finish in the 4, just not on top. Roosters, Manly, Melbourne will be my picks. Turbo stayed relatively injury free last year after his drunken beginning racing punters in Manly. So while he remains booze free, they are a chance.Next lot
Paramatta start well, just wont finish there. Cronulla look ok if they can stay injury free, I expect the Hynes Nikora combo to do really well. I agree Dragons fans might have something to smile about, and the Titans have some really game winners in that stable. I do expect the young kids of Sexton and Campbell to do well. Souths have some changes and fatrell, who on his day is a game breaker, but put him off his game and he will sit on the side lines for half a year. Still they will be thereaboutsThe rest
I agree with you, dont see much different, although the Tigers I dont see as high, unless Hastings runs the show like a pro..so my unreliable table isRoosters
Penrith
Manly
Melbourne
Cronulla
Souths
Parra
Gold Coast
St George
Warriors
Canberra
Newcastle
Cowboys
Tigers
Brisbane
Dogslol, always fun to go through these @mariner4life , a bit like you, I expected more from Manly but again relying on Turbo. But go that extremely wrong. Cowboys the other big mistake, well done Todd Payten.
Rather happy I called the Tigers falling to bits though.
7 of the top 8 called (not in the right order), but then the rest pretty average guessing, in fairness given the talent at the Titans they should not be that low, but they continue to suck.
still cant believe the warriors lost that one on the weekend..just should not have been possible

But of pressure on the Kangaroos heading into the WC.
Not sure I’m a fan of whenever I turn on a league show and all the Aussie commentators and ex-players are talking up the Kiwis as much as they are….

@ACT-Crusader given joey manu has a calf problem that wont go away and Hughes is playing busted, two key parts of our spine worries me before we even start!

Great game so far raiders v storm

If it’s NAS’s knock on that costs the Storm it will be sweet justice for a player that has had way too much luck with his grub play

Great win raiders well deserved. Papalii and Tapine were brilliant
-
This is interesting.... rabits vs roosters
-
Brilliant brilliant Rabbitohs

Tom Burgess is the filthiest player in the game. Don't know how he gets away with the cheap shots. One or two of his team mates are not much better. Roosters only have themselves to blame for being behind though.
Crowd just loves the drama. Plenty of sparks ahead no doubt. -
@ARHS Could say the same about JWH.
Haha see ya Roosters.

That guy is a fucking tool. Getting right up in the refs face.

@African-Monkey yep. At top of the next tier with Lattrell

well well
Friday was pretty average as the Panthers just crushed the Eels. Fuck the Panthers are a tough side to beat. They just kick you to death, smash you with sustained linespeed, and don't make errors (because they don't really throw much in attack). Eventually teams just crack. It is going to take something special to beat them again this year.
Lol at the Storm. They might finally be dead.
How good was the Cowboys win? Crazy fucking game ends with a 45m field goal.
I haven't seen yesterdays yet, only the "highlights". Seems both teams just wanted to bash each other.
Comp is still wide open (to be the team that loses teh GF)
