With the coming of Ryles and his proven defensive structures along with our strong attacking options, I'm tipping us to make the 8 if we have a little more luck with injuries in 25

Best Rookies Longi and Papalia.
First Debuant- Joshau Papali
Let go - lane and Carty.

I also think Matterson will have a very good season. I also think Dean Hawkins will be a good buy.
Gee Graham, that is a very impresive summary, just shows what putting your head down and working hard get's you LOL
When we agree I have high regard for your opinion LOL
I think Parramatta, Gold Coast and West Tigers are the big improvers.
South and Roosters will struggle. I think Storm, hoping Parra will win GF and Penrith will not play in the GF.

2026 will be a big year for us - Give us a good picture of Ryles and allows him to settle in - few astuit buys and Premiership in 2026/7
We'll finish 10th in 2025 but sneak into the top 8 the following year. Our best player will be Zac Lomax and Melbourne Storm will win the premiership at a canter. I've got a sneaking suspicion that either the Titans or the Dolphins will win the spoon.
The warriors seem me to be the abvious choice for the wooden spoon - Harris, Shaun Johnson and AFB all gone, how you replace that experience? one player I'd like to see in eels colours is Mitch Barnett, unfortunately contracted to the warriors until 2027.
