Panthers should be significantly weaker, the prodigal son has returned. New Coach. Let's fucking do this!

A lot of big egos playing for individual stats and higlight reels last year, but the year before they almost won the GF.. Will be interesting to see what team emerges this year.

If Madge can fix the issues with this side and we can get back that belief we had in '23, we could beat anyone and win it all.

Hey all - long time reader, first time poster.
I'm not the type of person to make these sort of predictions, but given our recent coaching change and the return of Ben Hunt, it seems to be pretty much locked in that we're going all the way in 2025.
On paper and from some complicated analysis I did, I can't see any team coming close to us next year.
So officially putting it out there that we are guaranteed to win the whole thing. Feel free to start making your plans to travel to Sydney for the GF.
Merry Christmas

The NRL teams in a premiership window... and when hope begins for others — Every club rated
Broncos prodigies change the game; when Tigers hope begins — NRL premiership window rater

BRISBANE BRONCOS
Premiership window: 2025
The Broncos are back, baby.
Right back in the premiership window that is and it’s all thanks to the return of the club’s prodigal son, Ben Hunt.
Hunt is back in Brisbane after finally leaving the Dragons and he’s made no secret of that fact it’s a premiership redemption mission.
Hunt and the Broncos had one hand on the Provan-Summons Trophy as they led the Cowboys 16-12 in the dying second of the 2015 grand final.
But then Kyle Feldt scored a miracle try to send the game into golden point, where Hunt dropped the kick-off and the rest became history.
If Hunt can lead Brisbane to a drought-breaking title 10 years after that fateful night, it will be the rugby league fairytale of all fairytales.
Hunt led the NRL in try assists this year and fellow 34-year-old Adam Reynolds, when fit, also remains one of the best halves in the competition.
It will likely largely depend on how long Ezra Mam gets suspended for but if they get the No. 6 back anywhere near close to finals, the Broncos are a red-hot chance.
Beyond the next two seasons, Coby Black looms as Brisbane’s highly-touted replacement at halfback; but as with all young halves, there’s no guarantee on when – or even if – he develops into an elite player.
If he does, along with hooker Blake Mozer – look out, long-term.

Please don't jinx us.
Do you really want or need your boy over here at the end of this coming season saying stuff to you like "well at least Santa was kind to you on BHQ"
