NRL Table

With the NRL competition getting closer each year, it's no surprise that the 2008 NRL Table and Ladder is seriously close.

After 10 Rounds of Rugby League, it's really only South Sydney who are out of touch with the rest of the field, excusing the byes - the Rabbitohs only have 1 single win from the 10 round passed so far.

With St George Illawarra, while they have been slightly off the pace - they have beaten all the major heavy weights in the NRL competition and are still a slim chance of sneaking into the NRL Top 8 if they have hold things together under Nathan Browns final year. Should they get into the finals, 2009 should see big things happen for the Dragons as Wayne Bennett assumes control and should instill at least some confidence in the club that has struggled in recent times.

The other interesting performer in 2008 NRL is the new boys, the Gold Coast Titans. Playing out of the new Skilled Park in Robina, the Titans led well by Scott Prince are playing a nice brand of football under coach John Cartwright and continue to surprise many as they sit atop the NRL Table and remain in front of the hot Melbourne Storm who have been heavily affected by State of Origin duties this year.

As the year rolls on we should see a packed ladder situation continue, with even Canberra continuing to impress at home with several key injury woes also making their lives hard. Led well by the youngster Todd Carney, the Raiders could be real contenders in the next 5 years with quality coaches and players at last lining up to head to the ACT to get involved in what was once a huge club that performed well every single Rugby League year.
