Premature NRL Predictions for 2016

Milford was primarily to blame for that, hence why I didn't include it. He let in so many tries this year it was absurd. Defending him and Reed next to each other was the Broncos Achilles heel all year and it ended up costing them a premiership.

 

How the fuck are the Warriors third favourites for the title? That boggles my mind.

 

Sharks to make the 8 at 1.80 is massive overs IMO.

 

Agree with most of that. I don't think Easts are sure things though. Huge amount rests on how Hastings goes.

 

Not so sure about the Cows. Premiership hangover is a possibility.

 

That's a perfectly reasonable and logical view to take IMO.

 

Maybe I do downplay them but for my own honest reason. I don''t just talk them up just because they're the Cowboys. I think they can go back to back for sure but not going to lie and say Im completely confident in their chances at least yet anyway. I do question if they will have the same motivation. Nothing to do with completely rubbishing them although when they play shit I have no issue with it, just trying to be more impartial about them.
There's an uncertainty to them that makes me a bit reserved about their chance this year. Not writing them off or hating on them, just not getting caught up in any hype they might have. Just want to see them play a heck of a lot better than they did in 15. Won the premiership which is something I won't forget certainly but with that now dusted I now they still have room to play a hell of a lot better.
