I note that we will lose our rep players before each origin game this season
We will pay Whingers and Titans away and the Vermin at home during this period.

Yeah this is my only negative of our whole draw. Not much depth particularly in the halves worries me but Titans at least are a QLD team so they'll have a few out and both Parra and Souths could as well. Only annoys me because Penrith lose their rep players for only one game unless they choose to rest right after Origin
I would be happy with 1/3 when we lose our rep players.
That and playing 2 challenging parts of the draw
The Sea Eagles face two very big challenges in 2025 with Manly playing three games in 11 days between rounds 5-7, and three games in 12 days from rounds 10-12.
Both are tricky situations
Apart from the above 2 situations looks a good draw we don’t leave Sydney for the last month of the season

Win for URM !!! They'd be chuffed.
Well Jake woont be there this year.
Assume DCE wont quit rep but Billy may think it is time to change.
There is a world where it is just Tom.
Looks a good draw. A little disappointing for Sea Eagles fans up north but great to see the local fans rewarded for their strong support and attendance getting twelve home games.
Maybe also Haumole?
As far as rep players being absent , I think the following may well happen in 25.
1) there will be a changing of the guard for QLD with Slater omitting DCE.
2) there will be a changing of the guard with ???? omitting Jurbo.
3) Turbo is a lock , if fit.
4) Ola is only a maybe
We may well only lose Turbo for the SOO series.

SEA EAGLES (2nd)
Games played against
Top eight: 10
Top four: 6
Bottom nine: 14
Bottom four: 6
Who they play twice: Raiders, Sharks, Storm, Cowboys, Eels, Dragons, Warriors, Tigers
Analysis: Manly have a hug chance to push for the top four next season with just 10 games against top eight sides from last year and six against the top four from 2024. Anthony Seibold’s side play the bottom nine teams from last year on 14 occasions and the bottom four in six games. Manly get a bye in Magic Round and face the Cowboys, Warriors, Raiders and Eels in a soft start to the season. They also have a soft run home with clashes against Tigers, Dolphins, Dragons and Warriors in the final rounds.
Second easiest draw by fox sports
I know this has been posted before just wanted it to be easier for people to read

Fantastic draw. Obviously can't predict for sure how much better or worse teams will be next year but having 5 of our first 7 at Brookvale and then our last five being against Raiders, Tigers, Phins, Dragons and Warriors should mean we're a good chance of starting and finishing well. Bit dicey around Origin time playing in all three of the major bye rounds, but if we bank enough wins either side of that I don't think a top four finish is an unrealistic expectation... haven't enjoyed our off season too much so far but a nice soft draw definitely renews a bit of hope!
Seemingly it’s one of the best draws we’ve had in some time.
And let’s face it , the broadcasters do the draw for their benefit ( not ours ) and I’d say our better draw , more FTA TV follows our being more successful last year.
The Fantastic draw Perspective...
The Draw is Just the Journey
It is the Fantastic efforts by the coach to over overcome adversity along the way and keep lifting his team to keep prevailing all the way to Grand Final winning Day
In 1978
We had the worst finals draw in the History of the Game
We played Busted 6 games in 24 days !!!!
We overcame adversity and Prevailed
Rough Draws Reveal Resilient Manly Premiership Winners
These Manly Legends are our Legendary clubs Benchmark of Success
Anything Less and we are way off the Manly Premiership Winning Mark
