2025 Predictions.

I realize that it is way too early for this stuff but the Fox Lab has an amazingly similar projection to last year's standings.

Looks like nonsense to me. I expect Dolphins, Cowboys, Broncos to be right up there. I don't expect the Roosters to be up there. Manly are a bit of a unknown. Could go either way. Ditto for Gold Coast. They could be up near the top of the bottom of the table.

Every year one clubs surprises everyone by going much better than predicted and one club does the opposite. Last season it was Broncos and Warriors which shocked everyone with how bad they went. I think Cronulla and Canterbury didn't shock by how well they went but were a surprise.

The biggest two challengers for Penrith and Melbourne are Canterbury and Cronulla.

The biggest fall will be the Roosters.

I don't think Bulldogs will make the top 8.

Bulldogs are the fittest team, work the hardest which only benefit them more in 2025, have the softest draw and have the least travel. They have signed Hunt, Montoya, Tuala, Amone and Tupouniua and only losing Addo-Carr. They were in 5th spot until the final round with a much harder draw now it's been gift wrapped for them.

Welcome aboard, Matty. Your knowledge and love of the game will be greatly appreciated on this page. Cool off on the Doggies propaganda though. 😃

It's no bias just they were in 5th spot until the final round, lost a classic semi vs Manly with all the Addo-Carr dramas and have recruited 5 players to only losing 1.

Roosters are in for the biggest fall.

Manly will be hard to beat. Not in any order I think top teams will be:

• Dolphins
• Manly
• NQ (do or die for Payten. They have a very strong squad)
• Melbourne
• Penrith

Broncos are hard to predict. Could be top or bottom 4. Bulldogs to just miss the 8.

Manly and Newcastle are the wildcards they can either be top 8 and in Manly's case top 4 but an injury for a very extended length to one player sees them crash to near the bottom
