    I'd say the entire Bulldogs starting forward pack is in the halves.

  12. Ged GEC King

    Presuming nothing comes of this drug shit, my list would be:

    1. Newcastle
    2. Brisbane
    3. Melbourne
    4. Nth Qld
    5. Canberra
    6. Souths
    7. Manly
    8. Cronulla
    9. Canterbury
    10. Easts
    11. Wests
    12. Gold Coast
    13. Parramatta
    14. Warriors
    15. Penrith
    16. St.George

    Pretty similar to Julian's top 8 but I'll get called biased for the order I've got them in I'm sure.

    Newcastle 1st ? What kind of soil have you been playing with lately.

    He picked them first last year too. They will miss the 8 again.

  15. Magic AJ Parker

    Canterbury 9th is more surprising than Newcastle imo.

    They've got a ridiculously good pack and I don't see them having a slow start to the season like they did in 2012 which could probably be put down to the new coach factor.

    I reckon they're almost morals for the minor premiership, still doubt their halves though and whether they'll be good enough to with a premiership.

    I don't think it is outrageous, in the past where a side has had some success in a season via gimmicks and riding on in form players, they have struggled to back it up.

    The Dogs have a shit spine at best.

    Barba won't ever play that well, Ennis is close to the worst hooker, Keating is probably the worst halfback and Reynolds is a good player, but I wouldn't say anything really special.

    Factor in they're missing their best player for heaps, teams will have adapted to their ball-playing from the forwards style and I think it's very realistic they regress greatly. I wouldn't say miss the 8, but I don't see them as a top 4 side either.

    If Hodkinson doesn't oust Keating Hasler has rocks in his head AFAIC.
