DARRYL BROHMAN

I have no doubt the Melbourne Storm are once again the team to beat in 2008.

I reckon the Sea Eagles will fancy their chances and, based on last season's efforts, they should be confident. For mine the BIG improvers and definite premiership hopes are the Sharks. If Bird and Gallen stay fit and Kimmorley finds some form, I honestly see them finishing top four. At $21 they are tremendous value.

Good old Phil Rothfield, he always goes for us, and good on Josh Massoud as well for tipping the Dragons for the spoon, obviously a very astute choice...

Phil Rothfield, well it's obvious the man likes us, but how will the team with the endless loads of money buying anyone that comes off contract come last!?
