Full 2025 Draw Released

[PLV012]

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...

2025

At a quick look, it doesn't look like any of our byes coincide with Origin games either, so we will have to play a game without our rep players each time.

I don't think we'll have many playing Origin in 2025.

[Carlos Parra]

Weird is the right word, I have no issue of who we play twice, I just don’t get the logic behind playing them within a few weeks again.

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.

Marking up on Toia?

[Jacks Fur Coat]

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.

You mean 'a limp up start' don't you?

Play All teams once and the following teams twice

• Penrith
• Broncos
• Storm
• Souths
• Dragons
• Bulldogs
• Dolphins
• Sharks

11 games vs 2024 top 8 sides and 13 games vs 2024 bottom 8 sides - not that the previous season is always a barometer on how a team may perform the next season

[BondiBob]

Don't worry bro - we will be ' clear ' on how we want to play , and we will be going after the game.

Oh no not the roosters way !!!!

[Superdag]

Going to be a hard start to the season next year specifically for Chad and Sandon Smith.If Billy Smith can stay injury free plus if toia can adjust to fg, which I think he can : the kid has talent ! I can see the roosters making the eight.

[BEC]

Disgusting draw, playing two teams twice in the first seven rounds, only 3 day games all season, no game in Canberra i love getting down there for a game but missed this seasons one . Also was hoping for a game on the Gold Coast .
Playing the Broncs and Panthers twice in first seven rounds is wrong and also only 3 afternoon games. Pffft to the NRL.

Im in the 1% who wants night games. It's easier to get up at 6 or 7 a.m. here in the U.S. to watch a match than it is to stay awake for one that starts at 2 or 3 a.m. So shit for most of you but good for me
