[QUOTE="TRF_melon, post: 482661, member: 12250"] Mate to be honest I think Manly and Melbourne will be at the forefront of the competition once again. Brisbane will have a fairly good crack however they are now well and truly in to the rebuilding stage. Whilst Brisbane in my opinion have the best roster of youths in the competition they have brought back "Petrol Seventy-Cents-a-Litre" for the season to help develop the up and coming forwards. By 2013 hopefully the pups will be up to speed with the likes of Hannant and Parker. With this being Petero's last year and Lockyer being out of the picture already expect to see Brisbane buy the off contract Jonathan Thurston for next year. Brisbane may not be a huge threat for the ***le this year but mark my words, watch out in the near future. Canberra will once again scare the front runners on occasion however will fall over in terrible fashion as per usual. Wests Tigers should threaten for a top four position but I'm a bit iffy - It all really depends on how Marshall and Farah fire. Will Inglis finally make his mark at South Sydney? Will the loss of Sandow hurt them too much? All I can see from them is flickers of promise but once again they'll struggle for the eight. Cronulla will continue to be embarrassments. I'm looking forward to seeing Newcastle this year. Coach Bennett. Boyd. Uate. Gidley. 'Nuff said! Throw in Buderus to fill a position much like Petero at the Broncos and you have a recipe for instant success. If Tahu gets over himself and plays proper footy he'll help the Knights to no end. [b]If Melbourne and/or Manly don't make the team then Newcastle will definitely be there![/b] Unfortunately I see St George as being no real threat to the ***le this year. So, in conclusion i believe Melbourne, Manly and Newcastle will be the front runners with Brisbane and Wests trailing close behind. [/QUOTE]
