7:  Gold Coast Titans

Expect the Titans to make the finals this year. I have already covered why they will play finals football this season and I still believe they are capable of finishing higher. It depends on the six teams above them and how they fare this season. The Titans have recruited well and have more than enough strike power in the backline and up front to match it with the best. If they sign Brandon Smith, or even Cameron Smith, then top four looms for the Titans.
