At the start of the year we sat down our award-winning rugby league team and got them to pen their bold predictions for the 2022 NRL season.

Who was going to make their way into the top eight? Who was shaping up to be the biggest disappointment?

And, of course, who was going to win the competition?

It’s fair to say we didn’t nail everything – but not many people, perhaps excluding coach Todd Payten, would’ve had North Queensland sitting in the top four at this point of the season.
