I think it will be a Panthers v Cowboys Grand Final
These are the only 2 form teams
Storm have major issues least of which is lack of depth
Souths are too inconsistent
Eels have probably gone backwards from last year
Sharks have improved but no where near enough to challenge
Roosters are simply hanging on
i Figure 8th spot is anyones and like most years will simply make up the numbers and not be a threat.
Simply if we can keep Cleary and Luai fit and on the park we should repeat last years effort IMO
I’m not going to underestimate the Storm. Bellyache has the ability to get them up when it counts.
Cowboys are the only other team I see as a genuine chance.
I think Broncos & Sharks are still a year away.
Dragons are probably 2 years away.
Everyone else seems to be sliding. In saying that, I can see the Roosters making a charge, and maybe causing some havoc in the finals, but not realistically challenging the top 3.
