Okay we know it’s only round one and we know this isn’t the real NRL ladder. But what if the ladder was based purely on form?
1 Rabbitohs: The defending premiers backed up their pre-season form with a dominant performance against Brisbane.
2 Eels: Many thought Parramatta might struggle against Manly without Jarryd Hayne. But weren’t they wrong?
3 Roosters
4 Panthers
5 Knights
6 Raiders: Only the Canberra faithful thought the Raiders could win. Enter Jack Wighton.
7 Tigers
8 Storm: They may have beaten the Dragons on Monday, but they certainly didn’t impress anyone.
9 Bulldogs
10 Warriors
11 Titans
12 Cowboys
13 Broncos
14 Sharks
15 Sea Eagles
16 Dragons
