Quote:I've done many of these season previews over the years and I have to say I think this season is the hardest season to pick.

There are so many variables to think about in 2009, new coaches, big clear outs of players, young stars coming into first grade, its takes some type of super massive brain to work it all out.

Hold on! I have a super massive brain, I can work this out for you!

I think the step between the true contenders and the teams that are there abouts is a lot smaller than it was last season. Some teams have made good steps forward in 2009.

Having said that, some teams have taken big steps backwards, and I think for the first time in a number of years we'll see some clear cut cellar dwellars.

So lets use the massive power of my massive brain for good instead of evil....just this once....

The Bulldogs have recruited well. I'm surprised Brisbane have allowed so many forwards to leave, leaving their pack weakened.

Melbourne look weak without Crocker, Folau, Geyer, Tagataese and Kaufusi.

St george looked very good last night. Head and Soward played very well together and their pack with Smith looks good. With Bennett leading them could this finally be the year of the Dragon?






WEST COAST PIRATES
NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......

Geyer and Tags were dead weight. The others are a loss, of course.

EDIT: Just read the article.

Your Raiders assessment is confusing. We haven't had as much depth available to us in many years, especially in the forwards, where we have the best depth in the comp. And it's Terry, not David.

Don't expect him to know the difference - he is pretty clueless about everything he posts






Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.

death for the roosters :twisted:






winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11

roosters will finish in the top 8 or thereabouts.

manly will still be strong.

cronulla will improve and saints will make the top 4.

i think brisbane could miss the 8.

the titans should make the semis.

west tigers for the spoon
