The Postman's 2015 Mail: Only think the Bunnies, Cowboys, Roosters, Storm and maybe Dogs can win the thing... can't totally write off Manly while they still have DCE/Foran but huge concerns up front and still don't believe the Panthers can win a comp with a Wallace/Soward combo.. excited to see what Warriors, Raiders and Knights can do given the makeup of their rosters. Don't think Brisbane, Cronulla or the Tigers have enough improvement in them to really feature - in fact the above means I think Brisbane drop a tad (but not a lot when they finished 8th last year almost by default). Got the Titans, Eels and Dragons in the bottom three... so watch them contend for the Top 8.
Going with the R....oosters?
Though - honestly - I'm not sold at all on that pick. The SBW loss is huge but of all the teams - they can rejig that backrow with some handy players and I love the backline. Bunnies will find replacing Sam Burgess just as hard - how much does Glenn Stewart have left?
Storm remain my dark-horses - I don't think they are done yet but I had the same thought last year and they flamed out deluxe... anyhoo.
Let's go with Roosters v Cowboys for the Grand Final... Chooks to win.
