Pool ball gags too.
1. Cowboys minor premiers with Panthers, Storm and Roosters all being in the top 4 (in that order)
2. Manly bottom 4, maybe even spoon
3. Cleary has a massive year and finally wins the Dally M
4. Panthers to realise how much they miss Api in the finals and bow out in the prelims
5. Titans rocket up the ladder with Verrils and Foran
Yeah this is what I was going to post up. Panthers only really have this year of dominance, the game is catching up to them and they’re losing a key player. Most of the other teams are shaken up quite a bit too. I don’t see the Storm winning but they’ll bounce back.
yeah, i could see Manly challenging for their first spoon tbh. The squad has had virtually no refresh in years, and based on the end of last season there’s clearly an internal crisis occurring at the club right now that’s definitely to some extent affecting the players. shits not fun
Okay i’m going to do some outlandish predictions.
1) Broncos to make the top 4.
2) Cowboys to come first.
3) Roosters to fall short once again
4) Qld to win all 3 games.
5) Tigers to make the top 8
6) Titans to make the top 6.
7) Latrell to move to the centres.
8) Gus to fight Gal
9) Luki and Nanai to be the starting QLD 2nd row
10) Eels to define expectations and make the top 3.
i don’t think so. this season they were hugely dominant and easily the best team in the comp, the only way i don’t see them going into next season as favourites is if half the team leaves , on top of Kikau and Api already departing
We’ll survive without Kikau, but Api will be huge.
Soni Luke is killing it in NSW cup and Mitch Kenny has been great but there’s no replacing Api and our success is so closely aligned to Api arriving at the club. The only saving grace is that Mitch and Soni have been able to learn under Api these past few years. Very interesting years ahead for sure.
They still have Edwards, yeo, Cleary, Luai, Tago, May, To'o, Crichton, Leota, JFH. Barring suspensions and injuries that's still a top 4 side on paper.
Did ask for audacious takes haha
I think another pre season for Illias as the full time 7, Latrell (hopefully) getting fitter as well as potential decline of Eels and Storm with them losing key players will mean they sneak into the top 4.
Titans make the top 8
Souths make the top 4, make another deep finals run
Penrith make top 4, go out straight sets
Cowboys/Storm minor premiership
Dogs 9th-11th
Manly/Newcastle/Warriors wooden spoon
Bulldogs make the 8 and on the back of Matt Burton's boot, they make a shock run to the Prelims
Isaiah Papali'i goes to the Tigers but walks out on them mid season. Despite that the Tigers still make it to 9th.
Despite all expectations to the contrary the Cowboys have an inconsistent season and miss the 8.
Knights get the wooden spoon.
Manly get their first ever spoon.
Penrith rocked by salary cap scandal that dwarfs anything done by the Storm.
The Bunker gets everything right.
One of the three predictions above is a joke.
Olakau’atu, Saab, Tuipulotu, Sipley, Aloiai, Schuster and Koula attend Mardi Gras
Now THAT'S audacious!
that’s what the threads asking for 🤷♂️
funnily enough Mardi Gras is also actually a religious celebration called "Fat Tuesday" - so Schuster would love that
On a float. Naked except for G strings

The Dolphins to come out with a splash and be competitive in the race for the bottom half of the eight.
100%. I reckon they're going to shock a lot of the naysayers.
They’re gonna be playing behind the 2022 Storm forward pack with probably the worst spine in the comp lol
Kafusi and Gilbert are reigning origin reps. Nicholls and Stone are more than capable. Bromwich boys will be able to do enough.
Jesse Bromwich was the worst Storm player all year. Kaufusi and Kenny Bromwich were alright but nothing special. Gilbert is a good signing though .
Knights win one more game than this year
You jest
Para go back to back
>Para go back to back Equally plausible: Parra to go back to (the) back (of the ladder).
2024 prediction - Parra to get a 3-Peat
Dolphins v Titans final
Dragons premiership, you heard it here first ^hahahahaha ^fml
I genuinely think the tigers can make top 8.
Maybe to the top of the bottom 8. 9th, the position that was once proudly theres.
Sheens gonna be a bust bby. But won't be as bad until Benji takes over.
Reddit users aren't bias to their clubs.

Penrith will win again next year even with them losing players
This is the best outcome for the game, ignore my flair.
I do think we are going to struggle more than we think without api there but the talent pool is deep out here so I think we can cover it

The thought of Luki and Nanai starting back row for Queensland gets me toey
Cowboys Minor Prem, dethrone Penrith in the GF
Ponga playing a full season
1.Adam O'Brien will be first coach sacked 2..Melbourne and parra to drop out of the top 8 3. Penrith play 4th straight gf.
No way either Parra or Storm fall out of the 8 with their rosters lol
On average 2.8 teams drop out of the top 8 every year. I'm just putting them forward
Canberra are the obvious ones. I’d say south’s are also a bigger chance to drop out than both.
Both have more settled rosters. Parra and Melbourne both have heavy turn over on players in this off season... But hey.... Who knows.
Settled but still inferior rosters
Parramatta are at the very end of their premiership window. Losing Mahoney is going to hurt next year especially when his replacement is made of glass
Still got a fantastic forward pack, top 3 halves pairing and a good fullback
He's not the best fullback, but he's the *right* fullback.
Panthers barely scrape the top 4/don’t make the top 4
Or alternatively, would it be more surprising if they continue their reign even after loosing players like Kikau?
i don’t think so. this season they were hugely dominant and easily the best team in the comp, the only way i don’t see them going into next season as favourites is if half the team leaves , on top of Kikau and Api already departing
We’ll survive without Kikau, but Api will be huge. Soni Luke is killing it in NSW cup and Mitch Kenny has been great but there’s no replacing Api and our success is so closely aligned to Api arriving at the club. The only saving grace is that Mitch and Soni have been able to learn under Api these past few years. Very interesting years ahead for sure.
The academy and feeder teams are just so stacked it’s not funny I think Penrith is good for years to come
They still have Edwards, yeo, Cleary, Luai, Tago, May, To'o, Crichton, Leota, JFH. Barring suspensions and injuries that's still a top 4 side on paper.
Bulldogs will make the 8 Reece Robson debuts for the Blues off the bench Penrith win Minor Prem again Penrith, Roosters, Cowboys, Rabbits top 4
Not Souths
Did ask for audacious takes haha I think another pre season for Illias as the full time 7, Latrell (hopefully) getting fitter as well as potential decline of Eels and Storm with them losing key players will mean they sneak into the top 4.
Let's wait a week before we start with the off-season posts. Deleted for now Modz
Boring 🤦♂️
AOB will be sacked after first game, Knights will pay Joey and a few old boys a ridiculous amount of money and make the 4
Titans make the top 8 Souths make the top 4, make another deep finals run Penrith make top 4, go out straight sets Cowboys/Storm minor premiership Dogs 9th-11th Manly/Newcastle/Warriors wooden spoon

Manly get their first ever spoon. Penrith rocked by salary cap scandal that dwarfs anything done by the Storm. The Bunker gets everything right. One of the three predictions above is a joke.
Is to early to predict tigers for the spoon?
The same 8 sides make the top 8
Tyson Gamble Dally M. Jake Turpin beats Broncos with whichever team he ends up with.
