Message: [QUOTE="BroncoMatt, post: 2260217, member: 1752"] Souths & Sunny Coast are probably the safest bets. They will get good players from Canberra & Manly respectively and both have a solid group of core players. I'm prepared to risk the Pride. They've picked up some handy players but they will have a new coach and won't have Tom Humble or Rocket Rod Jensen. Easts have bought well but their fortunes will lie with Tim Smith. If he has his head screwed on and plays most of the year with them they win it. They can still go well without him but may lack the knockout punch. Norths will have a lot of young talented players from the Broncos and have Shane Perry to lead them around. They'll be slow out of the blocks but might have momentum at the right end of the season. Ipswich have picked up a few very handy players but I have a big question mark over Lazo as a coach. Burleigh's chances depend on how much help they get from the the Titan's but I would be happy to risk, particularly with the new coach. Tweed's fortunes are also dependent on what help they get from the Tit's but I think they lack depth in their core squad anyway. Mackay will improve but won't get to a premiership in 2010. It's swings & round-a-bouts for Wynnum. They lost a few handy players but have picked up some handy replacements. They've done well with some of the Broncos agreement too with some of the better Broncos fringe players being aligned with the Gulls. I think they could be around the mark particularly with Paul Green as coach. The Comets are my best (non-biased) smokie. They'll have a nice mixture of youth and experience and have a very tough, no nonsense forward pack. If it's true that Ben Hunt will be aligned to them and Nat Bowman sticks around they will have one of the best halves combos in the comp (outside of Van Dyk an T. Smith at the Tiges) And of course you can't forget the Mighty Phins. They have a stack of depth in the forwards and outside backs but they lacks a genuine match / premiership winning half. They have recruited extra well off the field though by picking up John Dixon as coach. So in Summary, Safe Bets - Sun Coast & Souths Logan Next Best - Easts Best Roughie - Comets & Redcliffe [/QUOTE]
