2025 Predictions.

[257Matt]

you call yourself a expert all the top sides have huge imput from assts

Assistants may have input the buck stops with the coach.

We heard so much propaganda about how much input Barrett, Ciraldo and Webster had with Penrith. They've won 2 premierships since Ciraldo and Webster left.

Woolf will have his own style and players will start off on a clean slate. Last year everyone was stale during the second half of the year waiting for the transition to happen.

Players like Keeley will have a clear shot at making the top 17 if they're good enough.

Last season was massive for Keeley after some poor run with injuries just to get a full year between the two grades will give him great confidence.

You can see with the comings and goings that a regeneration of the squad is happening.

 

[257Matt]

I think Wolff had a lot to say about selections in the second half of last year.

Buck stops with the coach. See my above post

I think Keeley will be in the 17 too.

 

[mr_c]

i highy doubt connie nor fin be out of the 17

 

[257Matt]

i highy doubt connie nor fin be out of the 17

Lemuelu needs to improve on last years efforts to remain in the 17

 

[257Matt]

I think Keeley will be in the 17 too.

His form and career prospects are on the upwards trend

 

[Chris]

Lemuelu needs to improve on last years efforts to remain in the 17

I think he needs a big off season or Keeley starts in front of him.

 

[Dolph]

Buck stops with the coach. See my above post

It does but I think Wolff had more say than assistants usually do when it became known Wayne was going to Souths.

 

[mr_c]

His form and career prospects are on the upwards trend

🤣🤣🤣 aint that everyone that makes the 30 more choices this year


connie n fin on tere worst form wil be in over him

unless its said out woolfs mouth wouldnt worry what mates that are players in team t with him say

So you don't rate Keeley. Well, he's in good company with Katoa and Plath🙄.

Plath, Gilbert & Keeley my back row

 

[Dolph]

Plath, Gilbert & Keeley my back row

Problem is I think Plath and Gilbert are both best playing lock. But this is ok. Locks aren't 80min players. And Gilbert can play in the backrow or front row and Plath can play hooker so it's not a problem.

i rate him yes , like plath like izzy like trai

but just because fans rate him doesn't mean he gets starting sport like plath , we have 30 guys not just 3 there guys that played really well that wil miss out .

just because we got new coach , doesnt mean oryn is a hope to be in 17
just like val people rated him too


as for your theory oryns in side if he was going be in side he would of last year like harrison graham theres obiliously things he needs to work on

and that be like oryn , you can bet with fin kenny connie fuis young james walsh ( who i know has impressed the hell outta of the club )

really think he will struggle


thats 99% reason why i dont see him getting starting 17 roe like plath fit players have the edge ( theres no way that club wil want see be paychecks sitting in reserve grade ( unless they playing shocking and they be more dropped outta the club if they was another thing to remember if connie wasnt doing enough they wouldnt re sign him

Starting spot or not is irrelevant. It's a game of 17 vs 17 these days. Plath will 100% without any doubt at all be in the 17.

over who is more the point , which i was pointing out as i still seen brommy n kenny there i dont see props left out ? it woud depend how wolf wants his bench wether he plays a back/ half on bench even when trai comes back / thom also going be really intresting and that wont be on best 17 that be on what fits to team we play

 

[Chris]

Ben Hunt is overrated and a much better hooker than 1/2 but I think later in the year having Mam at 5/8, Reynolds half, Walsh fullback and Hunt hooker is an absolute gun spine. Best in the competition by a fair distance.
So I'm predicting a top 8 of (not in order)

• Dolphins
• Brisbane
• NQ
• Penrith
• Manly
• Melbourne
• Cronulla
• Gold Coast (I'm tipping they are going to be much improved next year)

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Thank God I can't see his post, but I bet he didn't rate Lewis, Gasnier, Thurston was probably too small along with Langer.

I still fully believe he is trolling. Noone, being totally serious, would make the claims he does.

He used to be a Dragons fan. What's wrong with that? We were all fans of other clubs a short time ago. I was a Broncos fan.
