Same top 8 as 2019, except the Sharks will drop out.
Not sure who will go in. Hopefully us, but more likely the Cowboys or Panthers.

Saw a post of yours that I actually agreed with the other day, this is more like it...

Way off - few teams up many on the slide

Can't agree on everything. I think the opposite. Few teams on the slide and few on the up.

**2019 Top 8**

Melbourne, Manly and Cronulla are on the slide.
- Melbourne will be fine IMO.
- Manly are battling a few injuries at the moment and having the hooker issue.
- Cronulla, well, who knows there. Their team is packed to the brim with talent.

Roosters, Canberra and Rabbitohs are all good.

Eels and Broncos on the up.

**2019 Bottom 8**

Penrith, North Queensland and us have better teams than last year.
- NQ will continue to be hampered by their ultra conservative coach.
- Penrith have benefitted from debuting a lot of super talented rookies in the second half of 2019. Those guys will kill it this year.
- We are pretty much there. It could be a good year for us.

Newcastle are basically the same. Can't see anything to suggest they will be better this year.
Bulldogs are still nowhere near the top 8.
St George, Gold Coast and Warriors still suck.

Really see Rabbits, Melb and manly struggling + obviously the Sharks off-field issues. Hearing many many things about the Eels that seems yet to be public knowledge (not sure it’s true)!

Knights, Penrith and Us. No Cows I agree, thanks for the post and I guess time will tell

Yeah mate, please feel very welcome to say what you've heard. We know it's only rumours, if something doesn't eventuate then no worries, it's just great to imagine they could get some karma their way.

What’s the plan then... pay Robbo to hand it over

 

[tiger_scott]

They have to run out of puff (and paper bags full of cash) soon. Why not this year? They knock out Canberra in one semi, we knock out Melbourne in the other, with us the victors in the main event!!

 

[Long Term Fan]

We have a better squad this year however hooker position remains the troubled area. With some luck with injuries and minimal SOO involvement we could scrape into the top 8. Expect Storm, Easts and Raiders to be
![alt text]()their again at the business end.

i like the look of this ladder

Bit rich for this to be on a WT forum.
