Who has the best 13 in the comp for 2016

Posted by Trent Lethorn on October 22, 2015 at 2:51pm

Have you ever wondered which team has the strongest 13 well I've done some calculations and done the best 13 in the league. I can tell you now that if the NRL ladder was based on your starting 13 Eels would be 9th and Broncos and Warriors are equal 1st. The thing that doesn't make us a top 8 side and a well rounded 13 is our strike centre or winger. If Gutherson is centre next year and Faraimo is our wing we won't make the 8. If hoppa stays we do. This is what the ladder would look like1. Broncos2. Warriors3. Roosters4. Cowboys5. Storm6. Bulldogs7. Sharks8. Sea Eagles9. Eels10. Raiders11. Panthers12. Dragons13. Rabbitohs14. Knights15. Tigers16. Titans.

The way I did the calculations was by writing down all the positions and putting the players from each team in there positions for next year. Then I numbered from 1-16 obviously number 1 is the best in that position. We had one number 1 with semi in the left wing. Then Foran in 4 in halfbacks. Scott in second-rowers on the right side. Peats 7 in hooker Norman 9 in 5/8 taka 8 in left centre. Mannah 7 in front-row-forward and choc number 6 in locks the other positions we weren't in the top 10.

If we don't make the 8 because of our right winger then we have more and bigger problems than a wing spot. In saying this though Semi would be a huge loss because of how much he brings to the table in attack. If he's out for a medium length of time then I'd be more worried about our chances but definitely not too concerned about our right wing. We have heaps of options and some good young ones, if the players closer to the ruck do their job then they'll have a field day like Semi did this year.

Probably scratch Peats?
He will most likely be out from round three.

Shane do you think the term 'polar bear' to describe a big white guy is racist, because poor old Adam Goodes is upset he gets called a monkey?
