The top 8 for 2025 ( your choice )

[Mark from Brisbane]

11th!!!!!

Did you have a bad weekend or something ?

There’s a few predicting we are going to fail.

I don’t see it , we will make the 8, and with a lot of luck ( injury wise ) top 4.

Now that’s the spirit!

Now that’s the spirit!

And the logic

We have more depth this year than last.

Hoppa will only get better, some have been saying that Burbo is starting to look good, our bench is stronger. All we need is for Simpkin to beat out Croker for the 9 jersey and we have a very good chance.

Not long to go now

I have changed mine a round a bit. Also, thinking that Vegas plus playing a lot of home games "away" could completely derail the Raiders season.

I’m guessing there’s some sort of reverse psychology going on there with @davohan123 (e.g. if I tip ‘em to fail they’re certain to succeed).

Dragons for mine will start relatively well but I think the grind of the season will see them fade out to finish lower than 12th.

Yep, the challenge for Saints will be consistency across the season. I think they have a stronger squad this year than last. Hunt didn't really want to be there and he was leading the team. In Gutho, they have a bona fide competitor; Cook is past his best but still handy; Holmes covers the Lomax goal kicking and x-factor. Then you've got Guler in the middle, with Klemmer on the way (apparently).

It's not the most talented roster and Flanno is another intense personality that is capable of mentally fatiguing his players.

I'm a little intrigued as to how their season will play out.

For what it's worth:

1. Storm
2. Sharks
3. Panthers
4. Manly
5. Broncos
6. Bulldogs
7. Cowboys
8. Dragons

Spoon: Souths

Roosters won't make the 8 with their player losses and injuries. Titans will struggle without Foz, Eels without Gutho and Warriors will miss Johnson and AFB.

 

[Dion Johnson]

A few good judges think the Rorters won’t make the eight,

I think they have the talent there, if Robinson goes conservative with Townsend then they will struggle, he looked ordinary in the trials compared to young Rodwell who looks the goods and worthy of playing alongside Sandon Smith.

New centre pairing doesn’t help though their forward depth is probably the best out of the squad’s, a good mixture of experience and young talented players.

Was just reading of the shortfalls the Roosters have this year so , bingo , out of the 8 for them

Good work , I think that might be close to , I put the Tigers in the 8, and the reason , I just think the refs will give them every chance to succeed in 2025.

But your choice of the Warriors is more likely
