wests tigers to be premiers in 2011, and marshall, farah, lawrence and heighnington to become the best players in the world. If Lawrence, Heighnington, Farah, Gibbs selected to play for NSW then queensland to fall. If Wests Tigers stay on top of the premiership table throughout 2011 then for once we might get these players selected. Its up to them. Wests St.George Illawarra grand final.

Ok, think that pretty much covers it - just let me know if I have made a mistake somewhere.
 
yikes,

some picks were WAY off by me.

I picked Manly to be WOODEN SPOONERS! (although so did many of you)

Daniella to play for NZ? WTF was I thinking?

Gower for rookie of the year was crazy as well - he got 2 games or something for the dragons…

Mullaney also missed out on starting for us..... AGAIN.

although -

I picked QLD to win SOO.
picked some/most of the city/country reps
picked cronk as halfback of the year.
picked galloway for SOO debut
and Darren Lockeyer as player of the series.

so didn't do too badly...
