MICK'S PICK - 4th LAST YEAR - 6th
MICK'S COMMENTS - Sydney City (as were Parramatta) were very unlucky not to make the Grand Final last year. They are always going to get close with Fittler and Lam. Now you can add Quentin Pongia to a list of stars in the team. They have a lot of factors on their side, age, experience and youth in all areas. I think they will again prove their class but will underacheive for much of the year. Watch for them to make an impact at the end of the season that counts though.
