Who's your wooden spoon pick for 2025

[JohnnoMcJohnno]

I know some of the betting markets have us down as least favoured for the Grand Final win in 2025. So I'm wondering what peoples thoughts were as to next years wooden spooners? Early days but I reckon Parramatta have a real chance for the following reasons:
1. Rookie fullback
2. Rookie hooker
3. Rookie coach
4. Got rid of their best performing forward (RCG)
5. Got rid of their best performing back (Gutho)
6. Got rid of their top try scorer (Sivo)
7. Don't have a centre of excellence yet.

I'm interested to hear other peoples opinions.

 

[blue bags]

Raiders are wooden spoon material

 

[56to66]

The rejector to guide the Eels to there 15th wooden spoon.

 

[Dragon David]

As far as Flanno is concerned going from what he said on the James Graham's The By Round podcast, we won't be wooden spooners in 2025. I think he will be right so I'm saying that it's the Warriors.

Who is their rookie hooker? You forgot a winger who wants to play centre
I give my answer around R20. Could be any one.. Injuries are key

It can only be from this 4:
Us, Raiders, Eels, Tigers

Obviously im hoping we are nowhere near that conversation, but if I 'look at the data' its going to take some sort of coaching to get into the Top 12 again.

 

[possm]

Parramatta Eels

 

[Nutz]

Eels. Another injury to Moses and it's all over red rover. No gutho, aging team yardadar yardadar

 

[<StGeorgeDragons>]

Gold Coast Titans

 

[Nutz]

Anyone but the Dragons and the Tigers.

 

[Coffs dragon]

Hopefully, whichever team that gets the Hunt circus! LOL

Point 7. Agree - Lomax is not a center of excellence!

 

[blacksafake]

Hopefully the eels but I think warriors

 

[Nutz]

Point 7. Agree - Lomax is not a center of excellence!

I think he's of the opinion that he's The Centre of Attention.

 

[JamesRustle]

Raiders, Knights, Eels, Rabbits, Dragons, Roosters, Dolphins or Tigers. Any of these teams are a key injury, unsettled office or coaching issue away from a poor season.

Who I’d love to see get the spoon - Purple cheats

Who I think are the contenders for the spoon - Eels, Raiders. I also think the Rorters are going to have an off year.

The Tigers will finally get off the bottom this year despite having the wrong coach.

 

[jak]

whatever team ends up with ben HUNT, sorry didn't mean to yell

 

[Nutz]

The Tigers will finally get off the bottom this year despite having the wrong coach.

Brutally honest and I hope he surprises a lot of you guys.

 

[Nutz]

Hopefully the eels but I think warriors

I've run my eye (not literally) over all the teams best 17 and the one thing that sticks out is, the majority of teams outside the 8 in 2024 will struggle again if their best player is out for a significant amount of games.
Doesn't have to be more than 1 player.
For example Newcastle without Kalyn Ponga, Wests Tigers' without Apisai Koroisau or Moses from the Eels.
It would be easier to pick the spoon club half way through the season for this reason.
So out of all the clubs, if Parra lose Moses, its goodnight.

 

[Number of the Beath]

Like every red (and white) blooded Saints supporter I hope it is the Scum.
If it isn't the Scum, next best would be Souffs - especially to see The Greatest Coach of All Time ( who hasn't won a premiership since 2010) step up to collect his spoon.
