Interesting to see the Knights in your top four. The haven't really recruited anyone great and they're losing some good players, are they there due to the Bennett factor or do you think the likes of Mullen and Gidley are in for a big year?

i just think their team is one of the best 4, they didnt lose any of their backs, have the second best backline in the comp, and a decent forward pack. if mullen stays fit, they are top 4

As much as I hate the knights I agree with this. I think they've underachieved for a while.

Is Tinkler still in danger of going bust? I haven't seen much on him for a while. If Tinkler busts, it could be bad.

Its only a matter of time before Tinkler has no money. He wasn't on BRW's rich list which has a cut off of 18 million net worth so in two years he went from having 1.08 billion to less then $18million.

The tax office is still after him (all the assets were in the wife's name though) and few other old associates and the bank guarantee of $20 million is no longer in play as he fulfilled the obligations that caused it to be put in place.

So I reckon this year it will be a bad one for the Knights off the field.

Yep, I think they underachieved last year, and just came good near the end. They also had some serious injuries too. With their backline, some real good forwards and some halves (provided they stay on the field) I think they're Top 6 for sure.

For what it's worth

Top 8

We coped well enough last year, if anything, it will be pushed further into the back of their minds and focus on football more so then last year...

I think it's a real stretch for us to make the top four. And I reckon we'll only just squeeze into the 8. But at least we'll finish higher than those drag queens!

Confident we can make the 8 depending on the obvious - but don't think this is our year.

Now I'm going for some smokeys, but after getting only 4/8 right for the top 8 and the bottom 2 correct I have decided instead of studying each squad I decided too have a quick glance over the squads and came up with the following..

2. Warriors
3. Sea Eagles
4. Rabbitohs
5. Panthers
6. Cowboys
7. Storm
8. Sharks
-----------------
9. Knights
10. Bulldogs
11. Titans
12. Raiders
13. Eels
14. Tigers
15. Broncos
16. Dragons

In 7 months time be interesting too see how I go.

I haven't given my two cents in this page because I honestly couldn't tell you. The game is al close as it has ever been and I wouldn't be surprised in seeing the dragons, eels & panthers up towards the top end. If I HAD to pick a wooden spooner I would go with the tigers... The other 15 is up in the air.
