2026 Ladder predictions

[Don Kershane]

I will be having a wager on Manly to be awarded the spoon as long as the bet is exclusive of no team having a points deduction for cap cheating -Bulldogs or Roosters for example.

manly have a lack of forwards up front, no established hooker and having to makeshift with brooks to get Walsh in to the team. Not a happy place at brookvale at the moment. I have heard though Turbo is ready to go so expecting a big year from him.
very keen on manly to run last.

Started writing it out then realised its a pointless exercise because I have NFI. There's probably 3 or 4 clear front runners (Broncs, Roosters, Penrith and Dogs), 3 or 4 strugglers (Knights, Saints, Cowboys and maybe Manly) then a toss of the coin for everyone in between.

Really reinforces we are going to need a bit of luck this year. You look through our squad and think "thats a top 8 side", then you look through about 15 other squads and think the same thing

 

[old_man_tiger]

1. Penrith
2. Raiders
3. Roosters
4. Storm
5. Sharks (mechanical snd consistent, no threat to top 4)
6. Dolphins
7. Parra (l hate putting them here but look at their 2nd half of last year compared to the dogs)
8. Broncos (not going back to back. Teams only have to defend Walsh. Wheels fall off at some point is my prediction)
9. Souths
10. Tigers [which i classify as a failure. But using head not heart]
11. Dogs (see comment for parra above. Not sour grapes, but they faded bad and I think that once their defence starts
12. Titans
13. Warriors
14. Cowboys
15. Newcastle
16. Dragons
17. Manly

1 to 4 I have no idea how to order them
14 to 17 likewise

Weird season....no clear best or worst (Penrith and storm slowly been caught up to and us and newcastle improved slightly)

Also found it very hard to place Dolphins, warriors, souths and dogs.

Expect to be wrong with every single position above lol
