The top 8 for 2025 ( your choice )

Storm
Panthers
Sharks
Broncos
Manly
Bulldogs
Roosters
Tigers

Think we will just miss the 8 but not much in it , sadly we’ll lose a couple of games we should have won and that’ll be the difference.

As to the Premiers 🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷
 
1. Storm
2. Panthers
3. Sharks
4. Broncos
5. Sea Eagles
6. Dogs
7. Cowboys
8. Titans , Was going to be Rabbits but the loss of Latrell and Murray for long periods will kill them.
 
Really hard this year @Mark from Brisbane - teams are much closer in ability (even Dogs and Tigers). I actually don't think Panthers will do that well this season.

Manly wise, we have a soft draw. We are injury free (besides Croker). We have depth. I think we'll end up in a similar spot tbh. Tussling for that 7th - 8th spot.

I think I predicted is coming 11th last year. But, despite my concern, Siebold improved in absolutely every single metrics. If we can get another day 5-10%, that's another 2-3 wins, putting us close to top 4.

Yep lots have improved , but so should we !!

Have faith old mate have faith
 
I have the Dogs in my top 8, but I think there’s a chance they could flop. Last year’s improvement was off the back of effort, more so than talent. Sometimes teams that have to push for everything, can get mentally fatigued and the Gus/Ciraldo regime is pretty intense.

I’ll back them to make the 8, but I think they’re vulnerable to a sudden collapse.
 
Points differential will probably change my top 4, the order could even change but I’ll stick with the top 4 teams and composition of the 8, with the Knights to pick up their 5th spoon. Be very happy if I’ve got it completely wrong, as I want Manly in there, unfortunately just couldn’t find them the wins. My most uncertain call is the Donkeys, be very happy if they mess it up and the boldest call, obviously the Tig’s.

The biggest question for all tippers

“ Can Penrith Fivepeat “

If they do , what an achievement ( in the modern era ).
I reckon they could do it, and that kind of reinforces my suspicion that the modern era is a bit ****.

(Giant tee-hee implied...a really big one actually...like a Teeheeno Fa'alphabetasoupy!!)

1. Storm
2. Penrith
3. Manly
4. Broncos
5. Sharks
6. Dogs
7. Dragons
8. Titans

Lock it in, Eddie!
 
I don’t see us making the 8 realistically we don’t have the caliber
So we drop out of the 8 after getting in last year , and making it through the first week??

I know some other sides , on paper , look to have improved , but I don’t think we have regressed , if anything we’ve slightly improved.

Anyway fair enough to each their own.

To me it’s going to be one of the most fascinating parts of season 25.

Logic suggests they must go backwards.

BUT

From what we saw the other night their “ system “ extends right down the line , so lose one ( or two ) no worries just move one or two up and it’s “ same same”.
