Premiers 2025

[Mark from Brisbane]

Yeah I know we’d all love it to be us , and I guess you never know but realistically whilst I think we’ll improve really well this year I think Premiers is a bridge ( or two ) too far.

No, rather it’s “ can the Panthers do the unthinkable and win 5 in a row “??

Or is it the Drizzles to lose ??

Or will AFB take the Sharks all the way.

What’s everyone’s thoughts.

 

[Ohgeez]

I think sharks will be in the race for the minor premiership, they will definitely put some big scores on the poor teams this year but can’t see them doing much in the finals with Hynes at half. Storm deserve to be hot favs this year & I think they will get it done

Top 4
Brisbane
Cronulla
Storm
Manly
The winner will be one of these
Can’t split broncos manly Sharks to fight out the big one
So here we go
Sharks to knock out broncos
Manly to beat sharks in GF
and turbo to light up the playoffs
Go manly says
Go manly

 

[The '47ers]

Hate the Sharks, but it'll come down to Hynes' headspace I believe, especially when the heat turns up during the finals.

Yeah I’m thinking the Panther are going to sink badly this year.

They will really really miss the two players that have changed clubs.

I have no idea who will be 2025 Premiers. I don’t rate the Sharks or Broncos & really don’t understand the hype. Panthers & Storm will be up there! Sea Eagles can also, as long as injuries don’t decimate us & our defense improves. Bulldogs & Titans to make up the top 5. Warriors, Cowgirls, Sharks to complete the 8…….dunno Lolol.

1. Storm - Best spine depth out of all the squads.
2. Panthers- Henry will step up and replace JFH, Isaah Yeo gun player.
3. Donkeys- Good depth in the forwards,
4. Sharks- Better team with AFB.
5. Manly- Depth in the three quarters is very strong and Turbo.
6. Bulldogs- Their spine lacks X factor.
7. Vermin- Good squad, Latrell is their key.
8. Titans- Good forward depth.

I am thinking the other way with the Panthers, Henry is a very good footballer and will be better this season along with Patea pushing for a bench spot.

If Yeo stays fit they will be tough to beat, can do the ball playing and make good yardage along with his defensive efforts.

If they win again , I doubt it’ll ever be repeated

Same as last year, Storm, Panthers and then it’s daylight to the next team.

Storm a little stronger wanting victory after tasting defeat. Penrith a little weaker. I smell a Storm premiership.

I just had a look at the premiership odds, Storm $3.75 and Panthers $4.50 is spot on.

 

[double hoops]

Winning a Premiership requires belief.

Build it and they will come.

For the players that belief can grow quick. during pre season, during the season proper. Even just during finals if things go your way.

But where does there belief come from, before the players take the field?

Build it and they will come

Grow it. Tell the world.

2025 is the Sea Eagles year.

I think the same, Storm favourites over Panthers then a big gap to the next 2 or 3 teams (Broncos, Sharks & Eagles) and the rest are well behind that.

We can be in the top 4 but we need an attitude change, we can't go on beating the top sides and then get embarrassed by the teams fighting it out for the wooden spoon.
Even then we are probably 1 or 2 big name players short of given it a real crack.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I really dunno about the Panthers, they should but think about these things.

They’ve been whittled away due to salary cap issues ever since they won title 1. Each year they recover but this has to , and some point , have an affect.

Point 2, arguably the two the lost last year are two of the most influential players they’ve ever lost , although Kikau probably rates equally.

Point 3, the mental game is so so important when you’re at this level , look at last years GF, it was just 2 maybe 3 little moments of extra effort that won that game , SO, can they keep the rage going ??

If they can then Cleary senior , and their systems , are pure genius.

But as I say at the top I just dunno
