Hard to see tits or Knights getting off the bottom. Parra to make the 8 off the back of Moses having a full season, Warriors so low purely because they should do well and that tends to be when they flop. Dragons a basket case too but I really rate Flannagan as a coach.

The notable changes I'd make from last year are Walker at halfback. Plath in there somewhere. Tualagi in for Coates. And Ponga on the bench with Hunt, given the 6 subs bullshit.

For NSW I'd drop Edwards. He's been great but Tedesco has earnt a recall after a few bog years in Origin. And the fewer Penrith players the better to get away from that system. As long as he and Yeo, who I'd push...

My opinion for a long time was that we simply don't have the player pool. But if the game could maintain the cap with an extra team or two im not so sure. The ESL wouldn't really compete so we wouldn't have as many there, and more imports may happen etc.

Having thought about it for a while there would need to be some sort of draft or something though for mine to try and share the playmakers...

He then goes on to say he picked him on potential alone.

-Think it could be an interesting year, Api and Kikau pretty big outs for Penrith and they're due for a bad run with injuries, hard to argue they won't be up there though.
-Feel Parra will be up against it with Mahoney and Papali'i gone.
-Expecting Storm and Roosters to be strong, Cowboys better for the year so all up there again.

Todd Carney is 29. He's the best genuine 5/8th-running half I have ever seen come through the grades in rugby league. Always just oozed talent. Has a massive boot, good ball player and in his prime a scintillating ball runner. A born rugby league five-eighth and he should have been the NSW and Australian five-eighth from 2009 until he retired. But it just didn't happen. He's obviously one of the loosest cunts in...
