Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2416068, member: 1899"] Premiers - Melbourne Storm - If they're bound to win one it'll have to be this year. Still have the best spine in the league and have that valuable mix of experience and youth. Don't know if they'll finish minor premiers, but they'll be better equipped to tackle the finals. Biggest Improver - Canberra Raiders - They just have a knack for finding their way into the Top 8 every 2nd year. Don't think they'll be in contention, but with Campese back and Dugan in full flight they have the talent to squirm their way in. Fall from grace - Manly Sea Eagles - No Des, losing staff and players all around them and I believe their picture perfect 2011 side will struggle with the pressure of being defending premiers. Might squirm their way in, but when they look back on it, Manly won't like what happened in 2012. Dally M Player of the Year - Cam Smith - How it should have been in 2011. Origin - Queensland 2-1. It's going to be extremely close though Wooden Spoon - South Sydney Rabbitohs. No 1, 6 or 7 potential player exodus and a rookie coach doesn't bode well. Try Scorer - Akuila Uate - I agree with ning although I like the recognition for Duffie. With Bennett at the helm and Boyd at fullback, Uate is going to be on the end of so many backline plays he won't know what to do with himself. How about them Broncos? We'll finish somewhere in the finals and make a decent impression but will just miss the poise of Lockyer when things get tough. With that said, the majority of fans will be satisfied with 2012 as it was the year we decided on Lockyer's permanent successor. Rookie of the Year - Tautau Moga. A Queensland junior who is an absolute monster of a centre. A try scoring machine who will excite all relevant judges. Dale Finucane will also impress. Story of the Year - The TV Rights Deal.
