1\. Storm
2\. Cowboys
3\. Tigers
4\. Bulldogs
5\. Sharks
6\. Manly
7\. Roosters
8\. Broncos

Teams just missing out are the Panthers and Raiders. Also Rabbits won't go well as Reynolds will have Second Year syndrome, Tigers should dominate next year with a good coach and Benji back to five eighth where he should be and with a proper halfback outside him finally we could see Ayshford, Lawrence, Tuqiri and Koro at their best. Sharks have done some really good recruiting and competition at the fullback spot and on the wings should also keep them going with everyone playing their best, already been said that Wright and Beau will be starting also Gordon will be fullback at round 1\. Many have lost T Rex which won't affect then but I can't see their coach taking them real far. Bulldogs won't go as good this year, Barba won't go too well like he did this year I think he will come across some injuries. Also Roosters should go really well with SBW and their new 5/8.
 
Of course depends on injuries!

Bulldogs
Storm
Cowboys
Sharks
Sea Eagles

i'm just interested in 1 & 2\. Thats where you roughly will find your premiers. Wests Tigers have evolved since Sheens. This is a brand new team, I'm only interested in 1 & 2.

Bulldogs - Wests Tigers grand final in 2013\. You heard it here first.

Always impossible to predict, I think my top 4 last year was tigers, warriors, eagles and knights…3 didn't even make the 8!

This year I think I'll break it into groups.

Teams I think are top 8 certainties:

Storm
Cowboys
Sharks
Dogs

Teams that I think should make it:

Eagles
Roosters

Teams that I think will be mid table, fighting for spots:

Tigers
Raiders
Warriors
Rabbitohs
Panthers
Knights
Broncos

Teams that I gave no hope to:

Dragons
Eels
Titans
 
BULLDOGS
STORM
MANLY
SHARKS
TIGERS
COWBOYS
BRONCOS
WARRIORS

NO HOPE: ROOSTERS, TITANS, EELS AND DRAGONS

KNIGHTS MIGHT SURPRISE.
 
1\. Storm (I can't picture any other side coming first, maybe bulldogs)
2\. Bulldogs (same side, same coach, plus t-Rex)
3\. Sharks (new signings, improving on last year)
4\. Cowboys (same side from last year, more experienced now)
5\. Tigers (win the comp from 5th )
6\. Knights (good back row, good coach)
7\. Eagles (have to be in the 8 somewhere)
8\. Panthers (big improvers, Cleary is a good coach)

I think:
Storm, Dogs, Sharks, Cowboys and Rabbits are morals,
Eagles, Panthers, Raiders and Broncos will be there abouts,
Knights, Roosters and Warriors to claim a stake at some point but fall just short,

…and Dragons, Eels, Titans and Tigers to fight it out for the spoon.

All I can see is that most sides will be stronger - either through great off season buys or the fact their young guns are a bit more experienced. Our squad is weaker than previous years, we have lost 2 blokes who the playing group love training and playing alongside, we have lost our forward leader in Ellis, we have not settled on a proven halfback or fullback, our backup props are considerably weaker than our starters and on 2012 form, our stars are declining with the exception of Robbie.

Unfortunately, at this point in time I dont see us ending up any better than 13th.

Hopefully this off season produces some amazing surprises.....
 
I agree with Stryker

1\. Storm
2\. Bulldogs
3\. Cowboys
4\. Manly
5\. Sharks
6\. Souths
7\. Broncos
8\. Knights
9\. Roosters
10\. Raiders
11\. Eels
12\. Warriors
13\. Tigers
14\. Panthers
15\. Dragons
16\. Titans
