I don't mean to be mister negative but I can't see how Wests have recruited all that well.

Daniela and Brown are reserve graders.
Taumata has already been sacked from 4 clubs.
Cayless is injury prone, as is Topou.
Fitzhenry :unamused:

**Wests will be lucky to make the top 8.** If we don't make the top 8 then Folkes should take over as Coach in 2011 with Matthew Johns as Assistant Coach.

:laughing:

I believe we will sign both Lote and Lima… if not Lima, we'll retain Galea IMO...

With that... i think the Tigers and the Eels will have too much for most teams next season

1\. **Tigers** - Recruited extremely well for the first time in 10yrs! Signed good depth along with the formation of some real strike power in the backs with speed and size!
2\. **Eels** - Recruited well, but how are they under the cap? They could definitely loose key players before the season starts... also I am not sold on Hayne being worth 2mil!!! If they don't win it next season, they won't win it for at least another four.
3\. **Storm** - They don't seem to suffer injuries! No real depth but as long as Smith, Slater, Cronk and a few forwards stay injury free... they are always going to be a well oiled machine!
4\. **Dragons** - Strong side and smart side now under Bennett
5\. **Dogs** - Had a dream run this season... won't make the four but will push for it... I thought they were lucky in a few games this season
6\. **Manly** - If they keep Orford they will cruise but not have enough to win imo, if they sign Pearce (what I'm hearing...) they won't make the eight
7\. **Brisbane** - Getting old and have a lot of over-rated, over-paid players... no Hunt means they'll struggle too imo but they'll scrap into the eight i think
8\. **Sharks** - Recruited well and were crippled by injuries this season. Morris IMO will prove a very good addition to their side in the 9 jersey
-------------
9\. **Cowboys** - Lost a few this season and they just seem a very inconsistent side... Gallant will prove a good buy but I think they'll struggle to string wins together
10\. **Knights** - Poor recruitment and no depth.. a few injuries will hurt them but they are always a side that play the 80mins and the young blokes seem to lift.
11\. **Raiders** - Could prove me wrong... i think a smokey for the eight... no chance of winning the comp i think... but i always find the raiders the hardest team to predict.
12\. **Titans** - Have they even brought anyone? No depth, injuries will kill them.
13\. **Panthers** - As long as Sammut is there... they will leak points... they also seem to be a dysfunctional team in my eyes..
14\. **Warriors** - Lost all there decent players and kept the duds... They can't seem to attract anyone worth while and with an aging side... I can't see them winning much..
15\. **Roosters** - These guys are helpless...
16\. **Souths** - These guys are hopeless... Big BIG forward pack... but they are also a SLOW forward pack... Hopeless back-line will ensure they don't put much on the scoreboard and most teams i think will run rings around these guys...

Souths wont come last…

See.

y bulldogs ink?

Cant remember, probably their recruiting
They did run 2nd last year

 

[innsaneink]

Not very convincing.

…......The forward pack doesn't even need to be thought about .......

Weve added **one front rower - one....one thats struggled with form & injury in england** - to a squad thats misse dthe semis four years running.
I hope you are right, but quantity (recruits) doesnt equal quality.

He turned out well…eh?

Well I'm glad I was wrong there about where we finished on the ladder but I wasn't wrong about our signings, except for maybe Daniela. At that time Daniela's defense was bad.

Way to be heaps wrong. Man your 15, 14, 13, 12 and 11 all made the 8\. Even a chance your 16 still can at the expense of your 6\. That's pretty wrong right there.
