Graham Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Here's the current standings in the 2021 NRL ladder. That of course is with the clubs in alphabetical order of their hometowns/cities. Reckon you can pick a top 8 from them to make the finals series this season coming? Apart from a bit of fun it'l be good to look back on our thoughts later in the season.

I would replace the Sharks with the Knights or the Sea Eagles (whichever keeps their first 17 on the field for most games), otherwise I agree with seven out of eight. Predicting the minor premiers may be a tough one, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for them I'm looking at their hooking spot now that Grant has returned to Storm. Liddle or Jake Simpkin? I'm looking out to see Simpkin have a breakout season.

I’m being kind to them , I quite like their recruitment and they’ve trimmed their squad of some veterans and deadwood. I’m not taken with the Titans halves and I’ll be interested how they go off that pack . I’m also very interested to see Barrett’s Dogs . Unfortunately I think Griffin’s Dragons won’t be that exciting to watch , wanting McCullough for Mcinnes isn’t a good sign . Hopefully he gets results but I’m not piling the pressure on them by tipping them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Dragons they have some good backs. Dufty and Lomax are a couple of standout blokes there for me. They are great to watch. Will Dragons’ forwards be a tough enough unit?

When I look at the ins and outs at the dragons I’m not optimistic . Bird is the big import but he’s been a total crock and so is an unknown . They’ve lost a few but Frizell is the absolute standout there , the guy is a machine and will leave a big hole . And there’s still the hunt / norman conundrum . Agree about lomax and Dufty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
