My gut feeling is that we'll finish bottom 4 this year.
There are (as I see it), three ways we can move up the ladder :
1. benefit from a team on the decline
2. benefit from a team having an off year (injuries, form etc.)
3. have a greater rate of improvement than other teams, so that we can in essence "leapfrog" them.
One problem with looking at our list only, is that one can easily overlook or forget the quality on other lists, and also overlook the changes, tweaks, improvements that occur at other clubs. All teams put a lot of time and effort during the off season into improving across the board. No real point in us improving 10% if everyone else is improving 20%.
So far as I can see, the Bombers are the only team that might be a "guaranteed" basket case this year.
