What do you consider a pass mark after round 10 of the season. I have included the first 10 matches of the draw with the first 3 games being particularly hard. I am going to say 6 would be my pass mark. If Jennings on board and with the team gelling quickly I wouldn't surprise if we won more with 7 being good and 8 wins an excellent start. But as I have learnt over the years its best to be first (or near first) towards the end of the comp than at the beginning.
What are your thoughts?

We plays Cowboys and Dogs twice and then Broncos, Sea Eagles and Rabbitohs.
5 wins 10 points.
I reckon 5 wins or better with that draw is a pass
I hate to say this but I think we might start the season with 3 losses. Going to take time for our combinations to get going.
We'll probably beat Tigers, Panthers and Raiders and Bulldogs 2nd time round so I see us going 4-6.
I would expect us to win 6 of those games at least.
I've looked into my crystal ball and come up with this ...
Game 1 - Broncos are away and we tend to win well first game up at home. WIN
Game 2 - Cowboys are away and have been slow starters in the past. WIN
Game 3 - Bulldogs at ANZ hasn't been a good game for us recently. However their team looks beatable for the most part. WIN
Game 4 - Wests at ANZ. They look like a very ordinary team. WIN
Game 5 - Panthers at Pirtek will be close game. WIN
Game 6 - Raiders at Pirtek. WIN
Game 7 - Sea Eagles at Brookvale. Injuries could play a part. Foran to show Manly fans what they could have had. WIN
Game 8 - Away to Cowboys. We could win this depending on if they have clicked into gear or not. Hard game. LOSE
Game 9 - Bulldogs at ANZ again. See above. WIN
Game 10 - Rabbits at Pirtek. Hard game but winnable again. WIN
