2025 draw

[bluefox68]

The whole ‘soft draw’ thing shouldn’t matter - winning teams EXPECT to win every game.

 

[Chimp]

Well, we know w’re playing in the first 3 rounds….

Penrith, Raiders, Wahs…..

and jet lag.

 

[Special K]

Reality is Panthers, Storm and Roosters were the only teams who finished above us. You never know who is going to be good and who is going to be shit before the season starts.

Problem is we smack the teams we should 90% of the time so easily and can't beat the Panthers/Storm consistently.

 

[Frenzy.]

Another reality is that while the Panthers are in a dynasty and the Storms are getting harder beat, every year is a soft draw when 15 of the teams can't win the thing.

 

[Ozzi_78]

Draw due in next few days.

Will make some random predictions….

R1 Panthers A
R2 Raiders H
R3 Warriors A

A very late bye
Finish season with Brisbane in Brisbane
Play the same team twice in 5 rounds
Dragons at home on a Thursday night
Draw is deemed tough

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Very comforting to know that we’ll play the Dargons twice.

How many in a row are we going for now?

Doesn’t matter what the draw is, they’ll call it easy for the narrative.

 

[bluefox68]

This has to be the most BORING off-season ever…

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

Very comforting to know that we’ll play the Dargons twice.

How many in a row are we going for now?

Think we're at 10 atm. Read somewhere that Gutho's management reached out to Manly at the last minute to see if they had any salary cap room to accommodate him before committing to the Goons. What an absolute rabble they've become. Warms the heart.

 

[Ozzi_78]

They will be better next year I reckon. Gutho, cook, Val- that improves them straight up even if we don’t like it

 

[PJ]

Depends how much time Cook and Gutho are on the field.

Gut feel is that the end for both these guys is going to come a lot sooner than expected.

Hunt will be a big loss as well.

If true that Gutho signed a three year deal for that stupid money that really is a horrible signing.

Personally I think Gutho is pretty much done.

But Flanno is desperate to land a name.

He’s got his name doubt he’ll get much more out of that signing.

 

[carinashark]

Hunt is over, one in three games a good one and the Roosters will expect.
Gutho is a gun , when fit.
Cookie will be on his own with this mob and he won’t like it.
Then there is Flanno, yes he will get their defence right. But it won’t hold for 80 min, not these days.

 

[txta2]

Edwards and Cleary possibly out for Vegas

Talagi too.

 

[glenmoresharkie]

Penrith tend to start a little slow so round 1 could be a good time to get them.

 

[Ozzi_78]

I reckon Penrith are bored.

 

[Stake Removed]

The last time a team played a 4 time defending premier in round 1 they lost 52-0

That was Parramatta vs the now defunct stgeorge dragons in 1960

 

[glenmoresharkie]

Hearing we have Parra in magic round
