    I’m excited for next year. A true test of character and resilience. Will be stoked with every win and won’t go into any round expecting to lose.

    We aren’t just making up the numbers.

    We don’t have the easiest draw but let’s not make excuses before we even start. That’s waving the white flag before a shots even fired. I’m sure our players don’t believe that and go into every match thinking they can win.

    Get on board!
    100% mate... one of the rare "glass half full" posts on this forum... this is footy, & anything can happen... this year, many had the Donkeys premiers before Rd1, ...& didn't the wheels fall off that wagon... I was even starting to think the Pen was more depressing than watching the news, by the defeatist tone of many RWB "supporters"... we've lost a lot of star power but I would rather go into 2025 as underdogs, & fight...

      I don't think we'll have many playing Origin in 2025.
      1985: 1 try vs Parramatta, 1 try vs Manly, 1 try vs Wests, 2 tries vs Souffs
      1986: 2 tries vs Illawarra, 1 try vs Balmain, 2 tries vs Norths.

        If we are going down this road, we may as well just play those teams in back to back weeks and promote them as “revenge rounds”
        At least they won't have 'pressure' matches against Penrith at the back end of the season. Best to get those losses out of the way early.

          Imagine......if we beat Penrith/Storm in 2025 without all the players that have left or been sacked this year. Ha Ha.

            Crichton, Watson, Leniu, Collins, maybe Teddy and Tupou (hopefully not). Well, that's only 6. Sam Walker would also be a chance if fit, but I doubt if one, he'll be back by then and two, he would have to be in seriously good form and ready to take the next step.

              Billy Smith will be a walk up start for left centre.

                  Come origin time the poor bugger is often only able to walk rather than run.

                  Geez if he stayed injury free he would be one of the best centres in the comp.

                    Surely this is his year to shine. Maybe if he played half as soft as Manu did he wouldn’t get injured as much.
