Wingers 2025

[Gold_Coast Dragon]

Has there been a role with less clarity in recent years?

1. Rava
2. CT
3. Feagai
4. Finau
5. Lawson
6. Allen
7. Sloan
8. Ramsey

No one has a spot locked up. Whichever way you spin it, 4 of the above will be missing out on even playing NSW cup.

Personally i would start the year with experience in the position such as CT and Feagai. Unless someone like Allen blitzes pre-season and trials.

IMO, Sloan and Lawson need to prove themselves in NSW cup.

Am i missing anyone? Thoughts?

Ramsey wont even be in mix this year probably, CT will have a good lock on 1 spot leaving Sloan and Allen to fight out the other one. As he finds his feet in league I reckon Lawson will get a go.

I love CT for the passion he brings but let's be realistic, there is more talent in there. Sloan I'd say will end up being on one wing depending on how his preseason goes.

The other wing is very hard to tell. Lawson will probably end up there at some point but apart from that, it'll be hard to tell whether Finau or Rava (depending on how he goes) gets a run. I like Feagai but at the end of the day, he is depth.

It wont be a problem
Ramsey wont play 80 mins in grade this year (i hope I am wrong)
Feagai, Allen and Lawson can all play centres or wing in Reggies. Rava one wing
Sloan Finau & CT battling wing with Lawson later

Lawson's skills fit more to a Rugby League centre. I'm not saying this for 2025 but definitely by 2026. He is big, fast, skilful, strong, aggressive and is equally adept at running into holes or setting up his team mates so they can run into holes. Has the power running, but can also step, swerve, fend and seems to gain speed at the precise moment he meets the defence. I bet he has a kicking game of sorts. Extremely versatile.

I have a feeling Lawson will be a gun winger. Heaps of strength, height and aerial skills as well as abundant speed.

No promising young centres that should be getting time in NSW Cup?

Imo:
Ramsey won't play, at least in '25

First grade will probably be Sloan and CT

Koe Cup will be interesting:
Feagai can play centre or fullback, as can Allan
Finau would be 1 wing (and I hope he's knocking on the door of 1st grade)
That leaves Rava and Lawson for the other. Methinks they will transition Rava into a running forward, so that means Lawson on the other wing, however, I'm not sure it will be like that straight out of the box.

So, hypothetical backline would be:
1. Feagai
2. Finau
3. Allan
4. Buchanon (?)
5. Lawson
6. LKT
7. Glover

14-17 - Rava
