Sports Prophet Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I only start this thread, because I found the survey results to date very funny for the Roosters considering they are certainties for top 8. Does that mean that there is a big proportion of insane people answering NRL surveys or that the Roosters are hated more than I thought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 They will be hard pushed to make it three Premierships in a row, but for me they will be the one's to beat. They stand a good chance. The Australian Rugby League Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Roosters will not win the premiership next year I’d say .Three in a row in that comp is unheard of in the last 50 years outside Parra , and with the salary cap and competitive nature of the NRL now it would be the greatest of achievements . I predict Canberra or manly will win the premiership .. you heard it here first , unless it doesn’t happen and then I never said it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Melbourne made three GFs in a row and would have been deserving premiers in each. Salary cap is difficult, but, depends on the nucleus of players around the club and whether they are satisfied with victories or cash. I think Robinson is definitely from the same mould as Bellamy and can influence his key players to remain for a dynasty. Hope they crumble though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blotto Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Roosters will have the same problem as Storm in how to win a GF without Cronk, that said both will be top 4 again along with Raiders but there will be quite a few Teams looking to get in there as well this time!

Lounge Room Lizard Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Roosters internal problems with Mitchell could cause problems. Kyle Flanaghan is set to replace Cronk. Thats a big task for anybody esecially a kid with little experience. Having a young half and trying to get him to gel with the rest of the team will also take some time in my opinionn.I think they will struggle at first but would not be surprised to see them make a Grand Final. Canberra for me are my favourites for next year-They have recruited well again and dont really need to change too much. Storm, Bunnies, Eels, Cowboys will be up there challenging for a Grand Final Spot but feel they dont have the strength, experience and depth that the Raiders and Roosters possess in some key positions.

southwalesrabbitoh Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I think Melbourne will win the GF. My top 8 are Melbourne, Roosters, Manly, Brisbane, Cowboys, Canberra, Parramatta and Penrith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj1908 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 souths have got some good signings. jai arrow is on board, and a good chance for latrell mitchell. roosters without cronk will struggle imo. top 6 cant see three in a row. no real standouts. melbourne will do their usual good season form, but do they have enough to win or have the peaked and thats their best. broncos can only get better. newcastle with the new coach wil be interesting. dragons with flanghan on board, and without the de bellin distractions should do better. same with the titans under holbrook.

Blotto Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 As usual more guff from the Sydney Media writing off Storm in the hope they will eventually get a correct call (using the stopped clock is right twice a day adage). I don't expect Storm to have the start like last year but I expect them to do the business in the 2nd half of the season. A lot of teams are looking good value for top 4 but at the moment it's all on paper!

Spotty Herbert Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I think its really difficult to predict. Roosters have lost Cronk and Mitchell, Raiders still look light up front, Storm have issues in the backs, Sea Eagles are likely to start the season without AFB and Jake Trbojevic and they don't have a hooker. Sharks have to replace Gallen and get the best out of Shaun Johnson, Broncos don't have a half back. Bunnies have to replace Sam and integrate Latrell.The only one of last year's top 8 that looks just as strong is Parra and they usually flatter to deceive. Or the chocolate soldiers from the far west? Top 4 : Storm, Roosters, Eels, Sharks Next 4 : Cowboys, Bunnies, Panthers, Tigers In contention : Broncos, Knights, Raiders, Sea Eagles No chance : Titans, Dogs, Dragons, Warriors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
