Re: Big League Season Preview & top 8 predictions

Eels are hot favourites to get the spoon

Richie and Matchett have it right

Amazing really (Eels for the Spoon)...I would have thought the Knights / Shars would have been unbackable.

These are nothing other than peoples predictions....when the MWSE forum was still going they had a comp where you picked the final 8, in position, prior to kick off.....I don't think anyone ever got close to picking them and most didn't even get the 8 right.

There are SO many variables...we go through injury free to our major stars...we could finish as high as top 4, we have injury problems all year...we'll go as low as 13th / 14th.

And the same applies to every other team....Benji has a season ending injury game one...Tigers are buggered.

These are all just for fun and to get people talking. The only real talking that matters is the stuff on the park. A lot of these guys don't even know League. It is just that they are reporters/journalists and work for a businees so they have a say, even if it means nothing.

The Eels won't win the spoon.

I'd have to agree.  Sharks, Cowboys and Knights are my bottom 3.

Re: Big League Season Preview & top 8 predictions

sharks or cowboys are certainties.  Cowboys to seek a new coach after 8 rounds and Snowden affair to derail the sharks season. 

Hoping the roosters also challenge for the spoon as well with Carney to be sacked during the year for drunken behavior and cheap shot Hargreaves to be belted by Tiquiri.

Panthers for the spoon.  Elliot to be sacked at the end of the fifth round after not winning a match.

7th

LOL. 5th is SOOOOO 2010 !!

Jeez that would be harsh!

After them having some success last year, you would think he would have some leeway.

I mean in 2009 it took us 5 rounds to bag a win

Well 5th was a reality the other years, I think 7th is more likely this year. But I have officially gone with 5th and a smaller bet on 7th

OHHHH... But I REALLY hope that they do!!

Re: Big League Season Preview & top 8 predictions

Dean Ritchie is on the money regarding Manly.Cowgirls for the spoon.

Re: Big League Season Preview & top 8 predictions

I am not worried if the so called experts dont believe in us .The main thing is our players believe in themselves and they will prove them all wrong especially big nose laurie daley ;D

 

[Chip and Chase]

Re: Big League Season Preview & top 8 predictions

I find it hard to believe the Eels will finish last, but here's hoping.

Re: Big League Season Preview & top 8 predictions

Knights will surprise a few this year. I expect them to be in the 8

Sharks or Girls for the spoon

same. Rick Stone is a great coach. Chris "heroin" Houston is back playing.He'll go good as long as he leaves the pharmacutical to his local chemist.

Re: Big League Season Preview & top 8 predictions

Harder to pick than a broken nose this year. If we can stay injury free I am more than confident we can finish top 4. We have some youth this year which will bread enthusiasm, which is somehting we lacked last year.
