Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2631808, member: 8215"] I like our chances next year not just because we should improve with the addition of Bennett & Milford, but because the other top sides are looking like they'd drop a notch or two. I wouldn't mind betting that there's a bit of a changing of the guard when it comes to the top 8. Penrith, the Broncos, and some other smokeys might be the new ladder leaders. SOUTHS: I've maintained all along that Sam was their key. The team as a whole will no longer have the drive now that they've shot their 40-odd year wad, but even the remaining Burgii will not have their heart in it as much now that Sam's gone. I wouldn't be surprised to see them out of the top 4, maybe even the 8. ROOSTERS: I hated SBW and the media for pandering to him, but he was one of their best players. Losing him will hurt them. I still think they'll make the top 4 but after this year, when the cap bites, they'll decline quickly. MANLY: What a glorious crumbling of their team. Will be lucky to make the 8 next year. Awesome halves & backs but most will be playing with a chip on their shoulder. And of course the loss of Watmough, their pack leader, will be too much. STORM: Still not writing them off, but they certainly look to be on the decline. You just can't have that much money tied up on so few players, especially when they are on the downward slope of their careers. [/QUOTE]
