Message: [QUOTE="Unbreakable, post: 2635317, member: 8290"] 1st ~ [B]Canterbury Bulldogs[/B] They'll be very hard to beat next season, as much as I think Josh Reynolds is majorly overrated, Hodkinson is a solid player and a great goal kicker, the loss of Ennis will be noticeable, but not irreplaceable. The addition of another elite try scorer in Brett Morris will be amazing for them. Best bench in the NRL as well. Also, any team with Hasler in charge and an above average roster should be considered a favourite to finish top 3.

Frank Pritchard 2nd ~ [B]South Sydney Rabbitohs [/B]The reigning premiers, the only major losses Souths have coming in to 2015 are Sam Burgess & Ben Te'o, which are pretty big losses mind you. The additions of the experienced Glenn Stewart & Tim Grant will help soften the blow of losing 2 elite players, it may take them a while to reach the level at which they were at this year, but I think they can get close, especially if George & Tom keep developing at the same rate.

Tom Burgess 3rd ~ [B]Sydney Roosters [/B]The mighty Roosters, as long as they've got the same core group of players together I think they'll always be a premiership threat, they looked immensely better last season when Mitchell Pearce actually played like he's supposed to, the loss of Sony Bill Williams and Anthony Minichiello are huge, but they've still got the personnel to cover for the losses, and may actually have a slightly stronger roster next season. Also worth noting that Jake Friend may miss the first couple of months of the season, which is why I have them at 3rd and not 1st or 2nd.

Martin Kennedy * = Hasn't officially signed with the Sydney Roosters yet ** = Until Jake Friend returns from shoulder surgery 4th - [B]North Queensland Cowboys [/B]The constant underachievers, will this finally be the year they perform to expectations? I'm predicting yes. The loss of the Sims brothers will most certainly hurt, but the addition of Hannant to an already awesome pack mostly covers it. Lachlan Coote didn't play a single game last year, their number one option at Fullback, it'll be interesting to see if he starts the 2015 season there or in the Intrust Super Cup, my bold prediction is that he'll once again get first crack, with Morgan shifting to Five-Eigth, sorry Lui.
