*Official* NRL 2013 Season thread

Well trials and whatnot have started. Time for another edition of the greatest game of all. Will the Sharks finally welcome Harold Holt through the front door? Will Matt Elliott's Warriors recover from their terrible 2012? Will Thurston finally get a premiership that isn't a footnote? Will we lol@Souffs or stand in awe? Or will Slater, Thurston and Cronk just grind out another one? All will be answered.

For my part.

1 Penrith Panthers
2 Melbourne Storm
3 Cronulla Sharks
4 North Queensland Cowboys
5 Canberra Raiders
6 Newcastle Knights
7 Sydney Roosters
8 Gold Coast Titans
9 South Sydney Rabbitohs
10 Manly Sea Eagles
11 Brisbane Broncos
12 St George Illawarra Dragons
13 New Zealand Warriors
14 Canterbury Bulldogs
15 Parramatta Eels
16 Wests Tigers

Premiers: Panthers!!!
Runners Up: Cowboys
State of Origin: NSW 3-0
One Player to Make Origin Debut: Aaron Woods
Top Point Scorer: Thurston
Top Tryscorer: Ben Barba
Best Buy: Michael Jennings (unfortunately)
Worst Buy: Braith Anasta or Matt Elliott

I'll be running CW DreamTeam again, and will run the tipping if there are no objections. I know some people are into supercoach so feel free to sign up for both. Or we can combine them, I'm pretty easy. As long as Benchy plays I'm absolutely fine with it.

So sign up at NRL Dream Team 2013 - NRL.com. Invites should have been sent out to those who played last year. League code is 644023.

Good man! Remember to check out the scoring system, and don't stack the team with those dud Tigers.

Be interesting to see if this thread reaches the magical 15 post mark this year.

Gus Gould is working on a new promotion. GWS play one game as the Panthers and the Panthers play one game as the Giants

Loving that George Rose has "WAC" shaved into the side of his head.

Yeah, it's very irritating. Really is a great product, tbh.

Used to have 'em until Sultana came onto the scene, but even now the usurper has gone bust the rights have stayed away.

It's doubly annoying because IIRC Sky do have a weekly round up show, as well as the Grand Final and the Origin Series.

Brett Stewart arrested after an altercation on the weekend.

Probably a better fight than either of the Williams or Cooper bouts tbf.
