Just saw some more NRL options are up.. Top 8, Top 4, Minor Prem winner and most losses..

Titans and Sharks and most favoured for most losses but I don't think I've seen a season where the same ends up being wooden spoon.

May be an all right bet for Titans top 8 with the recruiting they have done but I couldn't put any of my money on the Titans lol

What are your guys thoughts?

Titans will still be hopeless mate.

Prince went backwards last year and still has no help.

Sharks over Titans if I see that H2H.

I'm wondering how the Dragons will do this year after their slump last season..

No Bennett anymore either...

A quick stab

1. Tigers

2. Warriors

3. Cowboys (Lui will help out Thurston big time)

4. Manly

5 Dogs

6 Knights

7 Storm

8 Sharks

Dragons and Broncos to miss the 8

Agree on Dragons fucking out but not too sure on the Broncos... may take a stab at Roosters most losses

They haven't recruited anyone decent that I can remember (correct me if I'm wrong) and Carney is now gone (even though they seemed to play better at the end of the season without him).

^Agreed

Dragons wouldn't be a bad team to fade throughout the season since the bookies would have them favourites for most of the matches

they will be favourites in every home game, and every away game but 3 (Newcastle, Brisbane, Manly), assuming the Tigers game is at the SCG

They don't go to melbourne or NZ

Sounds like a good opportunity to go reverse donkey bias on the Dragons asses

Dragons will struggle to make the 8.

Boyd is a massive loss. No Benny either. Hornby is on the slide, Jamie Coward over achieved the last few seasons, Gaz is gone.

I dont really rate them.

Storm have been blessed every year with injuries, I dont remember the last time Smith or Slater missed a slab of games due to injuries. If one of those miss a slab of games, they will struggle mightily.

Bennets loss is over-rated. Gaz is no loss
