Prediction time

[damochandler]

if the broncos can keep their best 17 that they have available for a majority of the year until hodges comes back. they will be with in a shout. they will not miss the finals, they never do

 

[Ping Pong]

A forward (other than a hooker) is never going to win a Dally M. It would be nice but it wont happen

Hindmarsh has come very close.

 

[Bomber Bears]

Well at least they aren't weak enough to be kicked out eh?

I cannot believe how over-rated souths are. I cannot wait to see Burgess and Taylor flop when the real season comes and they pop on their red and green, just like every other souths recruit that looks good on paper. Having Souths 2nd is bias at it's best.

hmmm

Burgess
Luke
Asotasi
Stuart
Taylor
Crocker

May be slightly different, Pettybourne will be very close to a starting spot you would imagine, but it is a pretty damn good forward pack. Their big question mark is their halves, can they capitalise on the good work the forwards do.

i still wouldn't be surprised if the broncos didn't play finals

 

[Opportunity Cost]

i still wouldn't be surprised if the broncos didn't play finals

I personally don't think they will.

 

[Philhawk]

Broncos have too much class to not play in the finals (unfortunately).

 

[ESS 93]

Sadly the Broncos don't know how to miss the finals.

We smashed them 56-0 and they still made it!

 

[balmainforever]

Gotta love being right!!!!!

Top four not to bad, Melbourne couldnt be helped. Other than that ouch. Although Australia could/should win

I wondered why all you fools were going for the Eels, then I noticed the dates on the posts.

Then I wondered all over again! Still, I can make a fool of myself on next season now, I guess.

Who did NZ play at 7 in the World Cup? Was it Fien? ISTR they moved Leulali to 9, where he seemed to work better.
