2017 NRL General Discussion Thread

[Addy]

We gonna discuss the talk of the ipswich knights?

Feeling kinda cheated on, Qld relocation was ours

 

[Proud Shark]

Would be the stupidest move the nrl has ever made, and that's saying something.

Not if it means not propping up a club year after year

 

[Born&bred]

No way they move drugcastle - huge junior nursery at risk. Besides - their stupidity is too good to let go just yet. They need to enjoy the Tinkler experiment for a few more years...

The reaction and backlash against the NRL would be worth watching.

Haha winner.

 

[HaroldBishop]

Some interesting odds here. Penrith as equal favourite???

 

[BlackWhiteBlue]

Hmm storm, broncos and cowboys for mine.

Canberra have a good team and we know they attack, but i dont see them putting it all together again like last year

 

[slide rule]

There are a fair few ****house teams this year.

Just saw this on Facebook for anyone that lives in and around the ACT

 

[Thresher]

I'm picking the Raiders to win the GF, maybe next year as well.

Yea I just wonder if last year was Canberra's 'sharks 2008' year and that they are gunna drop away, top 6 .... maybe.... sticky has form on putting together special years surrounded by many stinkers
Panthers have been hyped up for how many years running now? Might finally click for em but maken the prelim would be a good result for them

Warriors lol, how many games before those odds stretch out....?
Brissy should be up near the top again

Bunnies & Titans are my wild cards for a cracking season
Storm are my tip to take out the GF

8th place is probably about right for our Sharkies, 5th or 6th would be a good outcome with no ennis/barbs and give us a decent chance week 1 of finals

Yeah I got Canberra as well. They just seem to have all the pieces together at the moment.

 

[Gumby]

really think the titans can make the top 4 this year. good side on paper.

 

[Proud Shark]

Canberra will challenge this year if they dont suffer injuries, their side is fantastic. Penrith and the titans are the builders for mine, great sides that should make the finals, but the halves are just too young in each to ice those big games. I think both will go close in the next 3 years though.

Broncos and cows will both depend on how the young blokes step up in the forwards, TPJ and Hess respectively in particular. Both have quite weak depth there though so will be an issue. I dont see either making the big dance though.

Storm to finish first and to beat the raiders in the GF, if their spine see out the season. Sharks 4-6th.
