Premiers: Roosters
Dark Horses: Sharks
Misses Finals: Bunnies
Wooden Spoon: Tigers
I've taken Dark Horse to mean a club that will surprise a few, I don't think they're a chance of winning it. Dragons to also surprise a few I think.

In that case, I'm with you regarding Manly. It all rests on Turbo's hamstrings.

Premiers: Storm
Dark Horses (ie not as shit as anticipated): I'll go warriors making the 8... their pack is good with Lodge, AFB and Curran (Tohu to return mid year), and they have attack in the spine via Walsh, Kodi and SJ. They may even drop Kodi back to bench to increase potency at hooker.
Misses Finals: Souths (have a hard draw to start the year)... but realistically Knights to drop out from last year's top 8
Wooden Spoon: Tigers...
but hoping and praying for cows to get it. Unfortunately I just think their draw is too easy for them to fail that hard and pick up the spoon... and one of their biggest shortcomings (long kicking) has been alleviated by introducing penalties inside your own half

To give you guys an idea of FoxLeague's interpretation of a Dark Horse, they've largely gone for St. George Illawarra with Vossy going with the Titans and Cronk going with the Sharks.
I wouldn't really consider Manly or Parramatta dark horses since they're among the favourites to win the competition.
I understand the logic behind St George but I don't really see them as a serious premiership threat. I don't mind Cronulla as a pick here but I consider them fairly safe pick so I'll go with the Titans who are expected to miss the eight. If their young guns can step up and take their game to the next level I can see them really turning some heads and being a nightmare to tip.
