2018 Ladder Predictions

[yourhero]

So, with most clubs pretty settled on the bulk of their rosters, what are everyone's thoughts on where the clubs will be positioned come the end of the 2018 regular season?

I don't agree with much of the analysis - but these articles provide a high level overview to each roster - https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-pr ... eb2b551573

I am initially thinking;

1. Storm
2. Cows
3. Sharks
4. Roosters
5. Eels
6. Broncos
7. Dragons
8. Panthers

9. Rabbitohs
10. Warriors
11. Raiders
12. Knights
13. Titans
14. Sea Eagles
15. Bulldogs
16. Tigers

Warriors far too high for mine

Probably. It’s the same as every year with the Warriors - who f*cking knows...

Injuries will obviously be a massive factor in the final standings.

9. Tigers
11. Bulldogs

Both seem high for my liking... Here is the Fox Sports estimated round 1 teams of each. Both teams look very, very average.
