2025 Squad

[257Matt]

fact he kept connie on tells me hes in the frame with woolf

Woolf extended Kurt Donoghue so he's in the frame for a place too

He has a chance. Competition for spots is good. I think he'll probably start before Oryn but I don't think it'll last long.

Bennett was going through the motions last year.

Lemuelu IMO will get first chance if his form doesn't aim up he won't be starting much longer.

Keeley got through a full season after having some issues with injuries that limited his chances at Newcastle.

 

[Dolph]

Lemuelu plays like an outside back who shifted to the forwards. He gets playing time because of a lack of options. If his lacklustre play continues, he will struggle to stay in first grade. His game awareness is basically nil and he struggles to bend the line on most occasions. Hopefully, he sorts these issues out in 2025.

Keeley is a player on the rise. He plays with the type of grit and toughness that Connie could only dream of. Oryn will be a key member of the squad from this year onwards.

💯 I hope Connie has a good year but Keeley has all the hallmarks of a young player whose time has almost come.

Good luck to him but I think he'll be in QLD Cup.

ofcourse he would of as we needed him for cup like few others in 30 you dont really use your head do you

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Feagai isn’t a first grader. If he is getting minutes it means we are in Trouble

Correct better depth option that Te Whare who was a disappointment after his debut game

 

[257Matt]

💯 I hope Connie has a good year but Keeley has all the hallmarks of a young player whose time has almost come.

I think it's a matter of time before Keeley takes Lemuelu's spot and Keeley has more time on his side.

Re-signing with a club means nothing as the likes of Fuller, Donoghue, Stone and Teague all re-signed or had clauses activated.

 

[257Matt]

Good news. Flegler's management confirmed on Instagram he's on track for a return during 2025.

Serious? The same reason a 16 year-old doesn't. Hasn't finished developing yet. Not many forwards his age play a lot of first grade. This year is the year he will finish developing. Both physically and mentally. I hope so anyway. At the backend of last year, it was very obvious he was too good for Cup.

 

[Josh]

Last year Oryn was 20 years-old.

21 but minor detail. I expect he'll be in the NRL team for the whole year. Lemuelu will have to do better if he is to as well.

 

[mr_c]

U expect him in there on one fame rest of season he was average if Connie was so bad his firm be beating it by now don't you think

I bet you anything and this is knowing how good oryn is his form is going best out Connie

.Connie plays on fin side any way never seen him on side Connie side

According to stats, Hammer is 3rd fastest player in the NRL and surprisingly, Herbie is 5th. I had no idea Herbie was that fast. First is Jason Saab which is predictable due to how tall he is but off the mark and over the first 15m, which is most important, I bet he's lagging. Hammer probably is as well. Second is Jaylan De Groot. Who does he play for? Fourth is Dom Young which was also predictable and who is probably in the same boat as Saab and Hammer.
