Predicted Finish: 5th
Actual Finish: 4th
There was always a chance that the Roosters would fall from their lofty heights in 2020 after losing two genuine megastars. Although they did, we all knew they'd still be there or there-abouts. A pretty predictable season in all honesty. They're too good to not be top four/five.
3. Star Player
James Tedesco
The number one, well ... number one, in the game had yet another incredible season. Across his 19 appearances in 2020 he scored 11 tries, set up 15, made 15 line breaks, broke 139 tackles and ran for over 230 metres per game.
The "secret" to stopping the Roosters is first stopping Tedesco. Easy, right? Pfft!
This guy is borderline unstoppable at times for club, state and country. I genuinely believe that his injury in Origin Three sealed the series. If he stays fit, the Blues overcome late and win that series.
He may have fallen just short of yet another appearance in the Dally M Team of the Year but Tedesco is the first player picked in any side across the world.
