Whos going to win the comp? Your mid season prediction gents?
I think it will be Penrith, they will play the Storm and beat them comfortably on the back of their halves.
Some people are talking the storm up but im not buying it, the Panthers are the real deal this time.
Having said that, go the eels! id give us a punchers chance in the finals, but we gonna need a lot of things to go our way to beat a team like the panthers on the big day.
Your predictions?

Just to be different I reckon Rabbits can upset the Panfas.
Almost certainly will be the Panthers vs Storm. However I'm not sure, on the day that the Panthers would prevail. There's a struck match between those sides when they're both on.
I see too many fundamental issues with the Eels. They need everything to go their way to win games. They play with a plan to enable that but some days that simply doesn't happen. We'd need a rails run, a bunch of luck and zero injuries to make the GF let alone win the whole thing. Perhaps a young unknown like Penisini to catch fire.
We'll play finals but probably won't get past week 2 again.
I think we'll get to Week 3 this year.
As much as it pains me to say... I think Trbo will eclipse Hayne's "09 season this year. If he stays healthy this is a possibility of happening. I think the Panthers will beat them if they make it to the GF though.
The Panthers and Storm are so far in front of every other team in all facets of the game it's embarrassing for the game .
Why?
Because in previous years you could always say their were two stand out teams but you could of also mention about 3 other teams who could of genuinely challenged them , this year unless the Storm and Penrith have injuries no other team can challenge them because they are simply not good enough .
The standard of the game players is at a all time low .
give us something sluggy, no fence sitting here.
Penrith vs Storm. All depends if the Storm spine can stay fit because they keep getting injured. If they can get a good injury-free run, Storm will win.
