As the new year is upon us it means that we are getting ever so close to kicking off the 2018 NRL season with much to be anticipated.
So if you arenโt already, here are 10 reasons to be excited about the 2018 NRL season. As always donโt forget to leave your opinions below.
Storm go Back to Back?
With no team being able to win a Grand Final 2 years in a row in a unified competition since the Broncos in 1992 and 93 youโd think in todayโs NRL if any team was to do it it would be the Melbourne Storm, so will it happen in 2018?
The reason why many teams fail to go back to back is because around half way through the following season other teams tend to find out and get used to how that team players meaning, whilst the defending premiers are playing the exact way to the season before as it worked for them they are coming more predictable for other teams.
Think about the last 3 premiership winning teams excluding the Storm (Sharks, Cowboys and Rabbitohs) and how they went the following year, although all making the finals the following year only the Cowboys made the top 4 and only just at that, with the Rabbitohs failing to make the finals since 2015 and the Sharks being eliminated in round 1 of the finals in 2017.
However, there seems to be one exception to this rule, a team that although never seem to change how they player are always dominant and you guessed it itโs the Melbourne Storm, so could they go back to back?
At this point in time, it looks very possible.
