Just looking at the predicted team list for the Newcastle Knights in 2018 and they have certainly bolstered their roster for this year. I predict them to be the ‘dark horse’ of the competition.

I’m not sure on that one Nudger. Souths have a new coach this year and although Inglis is back I think he’s still prone to injury and not the player he was. On the other hand the Knights have really increased well to their side and their coach Nathan Brown isn’t too bad and I think they will go well in 2018 perhaps even make the 8. Not to sure about Souths and I think they might struggle.
There is wrong with that line up at all, I was thinking the same thing. It wouldn’t surprise me if they played finals footy and even won a final or two.

If it was as simple as numerically adding all the talent up and then comparing it to the opposition I might agree with you. But that is a lot of new bodies to get acclimated with one another, they will win a few games, but consistency will be their issue. I’d be shocked if they finished above 10th, but that would still constitute a successful season for them considering the low base they are working off.

Brisbane ahead of Melbourne??
Nudger, get a cash out now if you can..
That is a good line up and good depth however still a little light on for experience. A top 8 finish would be a good result for them.

Theyll be like we were in ‘96.
Who wants to put on a little bet. I'll take on anyone !
