Having a look through Dolphins predicted starting 17 - man they look good. If Cobbo fires at centre and Flegler hits the ground running I think your prediction could be spot on.
 
NRL is far too predictable these days

Dragons
Titans


I’m picking us for top 5. That’s my joker for the season. We will all enjoy this year best since 2011 I reckon. DCE will be rubbish and embarrassing at the roosters. He’s not in the same league as cooker cronk.

Luai is one of the best 5/8s to play the game and I think he’s in for a huge season with real strike around him now. Api will have an Indian summer season not having to be the man. Broncos will really struggle to replicate what they had last year and eat themselves alive. Dragons are new wt too many old veterans and sad coach .
 
The Raiders winning the minor premiership last year was one of the most shocking things I’ve seen in the NRL …maybe since the Tigers winning in 2005..lot of good judges picked them in the bottom couple
Add to my comment a couple of teams will overachieve and a couple will underachieve.

Still bloody predictable if you ask me.
