Of the other teams **I like the look of** Newcastle under new coach Wayne Bennett and **South Sydney under Michael Maguire**. Both have strong groups with excellent young players coming through.
cannot agree with this. souths will be terrible next yr. their halves will be a rookie and john sutton. enough said.
as for the rest of the article, i cannot wait till the manly game! such a shame its at gosford though. Even with manly's small legion of fans they wouldve got close to 30,000 if it were at sfs
My mail from high up is Souths fitness will be at a very high level, something that has dogged them since they came back into the comp. **Souths boys never knew what a 400 was .now they are doing 4x4 sets**.
They will struggle in the halves , but they have a great forward pack and if they get a roll it will make their halves job a lot easier. my tip top 8 for sure.IMO Newie will be the same as last season.
Wests have the players to go all way this year,and anything less than a top 4 finish will be disappointing imo.
