Rumours and Stuff

[Soren Lorenson]

I reckon Newcastle is a chance of finishing last.

I wouldn't rule out Souths now with Murray gone. But if our changes don't gel, it could go pear shaped for us too.

Souths Knights Tigers Roosters are my bottom 4.

I reckon Newcastle is a chance of finishing last.

If they pick Cogger at half certainly.

I still think it'll be the tigers. Despite their star signings there's still a soft middle, their wingers are horrid defensively and they have benji as coach.

But the Mole said May destroyed us last weekend!

Unless we have an injury crisis again, I just don't think we will finish last. Maybe close to last, but not on the bottom.
Souths will be interesting to watch.

I think we're going to shock of few people next year. As long as we can stay healthy.

Next year ?

Lol sorry my bad

The Guardian has us finishing second last in 2025:

It is probably too early for Wayne Bennett to bring glory back to the Rabbitohs while the Dragons are destined for wooden spoon

Not impossible unfortunately

I just cant see a Wayne Bennett side getting the spoon.

If anyone else was coaching them then they would be my favourites

But Bennett is too good a coach for them to not come last imo.

Running last generally means a team had a lot of bad luck. Surely there’s about ten teams that could get it with enough injuries and suspensions.

If Ponga is fit I doubt it.

Why do you think the Warriors signed him? Are they just not as good at spotting talent as you?

Yes, finishing anywhere between 5th and 15th would not be a huge surprise (particularly given the margin b/w 8th and 15th might be 4 points or less.

We’ve seen Brady in the current era. He only retired three years ago.
He won a SB only a year before that.

And played most his career before running QBs become a thing which really has only been the last 3- 4yrs sides are making them priority.. Of course there has always been dual threat QBs but it was more a bonus.
Guys like Lawrence was seen as a generational talent. He still might be but not having that dual threat ability I'd take Jalen Hurts over him any day even though his passing isn't as good.
I'm sure QBs without a run game will still win superbowls in the future. Same goes for halfbacks. But if I was running a club I'd only go for a dual threat.

He did.
Tigers will go well I reckon. Finals bound possibly

9th ?

Part of me think we'll push for top 4. Then part of me thinks there are plenty of better sides.
A lot depends on how our spine goes. It is a huge unknown.
Will Moses hold form?
Will D.Brown step up?
How good is Iongi?
Hooker looks weak...

 

[hindy111]

9th ?

That would be a good result for them. Their spine will put on plenty of points. Galvin is the best 5/8 I've seen in a very long time.
I'd chose him over Munster

You missed the joke mate. Before they got a bunch of spoons, they would always come 9th. Every year 9th.

So I hope they do well. They deserve it.

I also hope they come 9th.

Look at how many games he’s played. There’s your clue. Experience is important, even for backups.
