SPOILER The Brisbane Broncos are winning the 2025 NRL Premiership

Broncos to be in the Grand Final in 25.

I have faith that Mag will get the forward depths firing a bit more than last year. I know its not a great bunch of cattle to work with in the depth department, but there is ability to be toilers and solid. If this bunch can not produce solid quality results, it would be a failure.

Haas
Carrigan
Jensen
Riki
Piakura
Hetherington
Tekura
Willison
Hunt
Goz
Semu
Baker
Taupau

I really don't see Yeo, To'o, Togo and Kenny kicking on beyond this year performance wise. Yeo is physically exhausted and he doesn't have much left. They know the squad is basically done and in the rebuild phase already.

Not kicking on as in not improving or not kicking on as not maintaining the current level?

Cleary be lucky to play 10 games this year chuck him in the injury prone basket

Yeo is another Cameron Smith with regards to how he treats his career. I have absolutely no doubt he will continue to kick on playing at a high level until his retirement.
 
Yeo has only just turned 30, don't think he's going downhill anytime soon. Petero was playing front row for QLD at 36. And if Cleary stays fit they will have wrapped up most regular season games early and be able to give guys a rest. I dunno if the Panthers are in a rebuild but if they are they are still so much more professional and just better than any team outside of Melbourne.
 
I think one thing that could slow the panthers down a bit more this year compared to other years is heading to Vegas on top of having their home ground rebuilt this year.

They'll be playing all their home games out of Comm Bank I believe, which probably isn't a huge amount of extra travel, but it's not their home ground and their home crowd may not be able to travel as much compared to the packed out feral environment created at every home game.

It may just become a bit more taxing on them if they feel like travelling nomads with that home stadium normality gone.

Not sure about Yeo being exhausted, he doesn't spend much energy in D and he's not physical with his 3rd man flops.
 
Luai is probably by a margin the best player they have lost in their dominant era, even though in prior years they where able to still win without him I think last year especially they probably would have fell off big without him.

It's hard to tell, because Tuilagi has alot of promise and even though he isn't confirmed as the 6 he will be outside something odd happing so I think they have signed well replacement wise, much more raw than Luai but plays very similar.

I think it's safe to say Penrith will still be in the mix this year regardless, unless Cleary's annual mid year injury is worse than previous years.
 
NRL Ladder predictor is out! Pretty obvious ladder falls out of it.

If we can get through the opening 10 rounds without much going wrong (especially in the way of injuries; **** yourself, 2024), and come out the other end with a few good wins, I think we will give the comp a very strong shake.

The boys are starting to mature now, Carrigan, Staggs, and Haas among others are only now just entering the prime of their careers, Reyno and Hunt are staring retirement in the face so they will be keen as hell to go out winners, Walsh is still young and already a megastar (for good and for ill), and we finally have a no bullshit premiership winning coach back at the helm.

Plenty of positives to latch on to, but one thing we desperately need that we have lacked recently, is some luck.
