One glance at the NRL ladder provides all the evidence you need to deduce that this year’s competition has a bit of an issue.
While it’s important not to get too carried away after just six rounds of football, it’s equally worth noting that the competition seems a bit lopsided this season. And that’s before I even mention that I can’t see anyone taking the premiership away from the Melbourne Storm unless the club suffers some notable injuries.
Though I appreciate that it’s far too early in the season to making such a drastic call, the truth is that the rest of the clubs are not in the Storm’s class, and if the boys from Melbourne play to their potential, everyone else is competing for second place.
In fact most of the teams already outside the eight have shown very little to suggest they’re worthy of making the finals, or that they will be little else but week one fodder if they do.
apparently the AFL is an uneven comp, well thats what Raiderdave, cockKing-Eliagh have been attempting to argue



there are around 3 teams that we know wont play finals, The Demons, Giants & Suns. with the last 2 in their second and third year in the comp.
their is no clear dominate team at top of the ladder & an open finals race for the final 8. almost an equal competition as you can get
