I have always stated that there are only five or six teams who are premiership contenders the remainder make up the field. But then there are surprises like the Warriors and Knights last season, Eels and Cowboys the year before that.

Tipsters, send us your predictions and we will add and repost this article.
You have until the start of Round 3 so email us directly or leave a comment below.
There are no prizes on offer, just the satisfaction of being very wise.
