Good call Bill.
I reckon the Crusaders will be better than the Chiefs though. The Chiefs aren't as strong as the Crusaders in the tight five.
I can't in all good conscience, suggest that the tahs will top the conference, every year they look good for much of it, but seem to fall over their feet at some point.
The Brums and the Rebels will suck ass this year and I can't seriously suggest the Force are conference leading material, no matter how much I love them, I think it has to be Reds first and Tahs/force to fight it out for second spot (barring injuries of course) with a strong possibility of three Aussie teams making it into the finals this year since the other two conferences seem to be a bit more competitive and therefore points will be shared around more.
i dunno. unfortunately i think the rebels are going to be a bit of a surprise, but only if their forwards can get their shit together. backline plays will be electric as much as i hate to admit it...
I've just been to the Rebels and Blues trial game. Blues won 31 to 21. Very close in the first half and the rebels pack held up well. They could be a surprise packet but everyone over here is expecting them to win just because Beale and O'Connor are here. Personally I could see them finishing at least 3rd in the Aus conference.

i think it's a bigger shame we let inman go than pretty boy. JOC punches above his weight. but inman is a unit. would love to see him line up for one of the trademark stirlo tackles we all enjoy
I'm curious to see which Blues pack fronted up for the game. It is hard to see the Rebels not getting minced by the first choice Blues forwards.
The WA TAB has the :force: as the outright favourite to win the wooden spoon.
Whats going on? Any thoughts on why we are considered the weakest team in the comp ??
