With round one of the 2011 NRL season upon us, it is always interesting to hear the predictions of the expert and not so expert footy fan on who will take out the premiership.
Being a Manly (we love to be hated) fan myself, I have to admit I go into this season with not much confidence that the Eagles will do much and think that they may even struggle to make the top eight this year.
A lack of depth on the bench, a young halves pairing, and the fact that they bought no-one in the off-season are reasons for my lack of confidence, together with again having the worst ground facilities (Brookvale Oval) in the competition. It could be a very cold winter for an Eagles fan in 2011.
My top eight for this year are:
1. Dragons 2. Titans 3. Tigers 4. Panthers 5. Roosters 6. Warriors 7. Bulldogs 8. Eels.
