Who do you think will win the Grand Final for 2008?

Question

With the dawning of another footy season, you can just never tell who might be up there at the end of the season. Who do you think has a chance, I personally hope the Dragons do a little better than 2007 (lol)!

Answer 1

Where to begin?! You just can't pick it.

Although, I happen to think that Melbourne will be hard to beat again. They were there twice in the last two years, so, yes, they are a good outfit. You can never go past Queensland (Brisbane (Lockyer and Bennett) or North Queensland (Thurston and Bowen)), it might be in the water up there. I reckon the Bulldogs will be a bit of a let down, and I hope the Tigers shape up. But in answer to your question, the Roosters; with Freddy and their new roster, they look good, and for them to win the Centenary Premiership, that would be something.

Speaking as a Newcastle fan, though, I'm thinking that Brian Smith better whip those boys into a team and better 2007's disappointing, and at times, dismal effort by a mile. It's about time for a Premiership, Mr Smith, don't you think?

Answer 2

Saints are due.

After their horror injury toll last year, a lot of young guys got a taste of 1st grade, and this will have a beneficial effect this season.  Soward will also benefit from a full off season, and as long as he can develop his organisational skills a bit more he'll most likely be in contention for a Blues jersey.  Expect Ryles and Poore to have a big season, and new buy Jarrod Saffy and Ricky Thorby to make huge impacts.

The Cowboys are the other smokey for mine, along with the Warriors.  I think Melbourne will suffer a premiership hangover like every other recent premier (with the exception of the Rorters in 2003) and finish 3rd to 7th.

Answer 3

storm

Answer 4

I really wish it could be North Sydney Bears. But seeing as they arent around anymore and i dont really care but i reckon probably Manly under Des Hasler will go a long way.

Answer 5

North Qld Cowboys!

Answer 6

Melbourne Storm all the way. Back to back premierships for them. You just can't fault them, so many excellent young players and such a fantastic coach they have it all sorted.

Good luck to everyone else but the Storm have this season in the bag. :)

GO STORM!!!!

Answer 7

Tigers!

Answer 8

THE DRAGONS FOR SURE (WELL HOPEFULLY)

Answer 9

the broncos

Answer 10

As I won the NRL tipping last year I feel I have a right to say that you can't past the Storm again, so many young players and team ethic.
