2018 Fearless predictions.

[upthetigers]

Hard to see how the Storm don't win again next year. They're on another level. No Cronk? No worries, they'll find someone else. Just like they replaced Slater when he was injured.

It's easy to see how they won this year… After screwing up majorly against the sharks in 16 the desire and hunger was massive... Hard to see them maintain that intensity

Slater is still the best fullback in the game. Cameron Smith is unbelievable and seems to have gone to another level. Cronk can't be replaced but they have very few weaknesses across the paddock. They will be there or thereabouts.

yeh…thereabouts

Brodie Croft will be just as good as Cooper Cronk I think

Lets do a twilight zone one.

1\. Premiership Winner - Raiders, Stewart works it out for once.

2\. Wooden Spoon - Roosters, finally the Salary cap auditors catch up too them when they discover Mitchell Pierce being donated a Tibetan Mastiff outside the cap.

3\. Daly M - Mitchell Moses for his most brilliant season yet (awarded posthumously*)

4\. Biggest improver - No one, Surprisingly each team tries as hard as last year and ends up in exactly the same position.

5\. Biggest fall - Canterbury Bankstown, who finding their past roots decided to embrace the "Berries" again as their mascot.

6\. First coach sacked - Paul Green, for negotiating with the Broncos. This is immediately followed by the sacking of Wayne Bennett.

7\. Coach of year - Stephen Kearny (for improving the Warriors to the finals).

9\. Tigers player of year - Kevin Naquama**

*Some Parra fans discover Mitchell negotiating with rival clubs for even more money. The Parramatta Reaper appears to Mitchell and attempts to attack him, Mitchell thinking it's his Uncle Benny in disguise and has a heart attack.
**Forum explodes.

Hello stranger.

Haven't seen you post for ages.

 

[kevinmcguiness]

it will be a big year for the club but just to make the top 8 would be great, knights will improve but team like the titans or warriors might struggle

<unknown player="">Just as good as Cooper Cronk… Ah that's why we offered Luke Brooks and Mitchell Moses 500K each to play with us. Cooper only has 10+ years experience and a proven track record. Ofcourse raw talent will be better.</unknown>

That quite a lot of the shine will go off our favourite referee, another year on the legs and more importantly, playing a whole season with out the real brains of the storm beside him.
It could be a long year for the old bloke , he might have to give up his referring.

Don't discount the Cronk factor either. They were a club on a mission this year.

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

Don't know about" No Cronk No Worries".
He's been the brains behind that team for years.
He rarely makes mistakes, especially his options.
On the odd occasion that he stuffs up, he stays calm and works his way out of it.
He's more important to that team than Slater.
If it's true that he's going to the Roosters, then Teddy will be rubbing his Hands together in anticipation of someone who has the best football brain that I've seen in a long time, setting up holes for him.
