Thanks everyone, particularly @ellicat for organising and @Gad for his weekly synopsis. I forgot to post my usual 'predictions' post at the start of the season - will try to remember next year .

Well done @kmcrosby78. Congratulations! Of course, you do realise that you are now automatically disqualified from entering next years comp. We will try to remember you. 

Thanks Greg and not a problem regarding being disqualified for next year's comp. As luck would have it, I've been invited to enter a high calibre comp which will hopefully have good depth (ie. no weak tipsters ........ ).

At a quick glance I see what you mean Brian, lacking a bit of size/genuine props. I'm not sure who was unavailable but be interesting to dissect it more as the tournament nears.

I wouldn’t get too high and mighty KM. I mean, I came seventh, which shows the standard of your opposition this year.

Good luck next year. We will remember you. 

What  was your name again?

See one of the Cowboys had a fight with his wife and now he's

not allowed to go and play footy.

Munster turning down $5.6m for a $4m contract with the storm.

Makes me think his manager (Braith Anasta) was just trying to pump up Melbs low ball $800k price (albiet Munster is currently on $1.2m)

Tigers and Dolphins were never really in the hunt. I'm calling it Dolphins for the spoon under Wayne Bennett

Don’t say that, @Hweebe. I will be tipping them every week along with the other Qld teams.

I hope no-one is a Dragon's supporter...

I'd be filthy if i was Ben Hunt with the team no show for the end of year club awards...speaks volumes about the club culture there.

Without looking at team lists/squads, perhaps the Dragons could be due for a big fall? Very interested to see what squad the Dolphins end up with - no doubt they'll be a few more (hopefully key ....) acquisitions for them yet.

He seemed to have a much better year ..........

He was good for us, until he started to sook to get out of his contract 6 months early, then I was happy to see him go. He's definitely a good player and I'd liked for him to have stayed but we were not paying more than 600K for him and the Cows gave him 700K I think...too much. Glad he didn't beat on his missus when he was with us. Hope he loses his contract.

Pretty lightweight forward pack for the first game.

You may have but apparently he didn't, that's why he not allowed to go outside and play footy ... just saying
