2025 alternate view

[Bates]

Young Peter will still get half a game as Fat Cheese can’t last any longer than 40. The sooner we let this chump go the better. I hate having players at the club knowing the club doesn’t actually want them there. I’ll be surprised if we can’t offload him before the season begins. One of our worst buys for a while. Almost up there with Fatty Vautin.

Hard to offload a player that's busted, is on $850k and is more miss than hit when he's playing.

Storm are great at dealing with players leaving and still being top 4. I'm not confident we can do same.

Yeah wasn't Hughes a random dude in our junior system who we put zero effort into retaining?

Each to their own but I think that's a little harsh.

Cheese hit form at the end of this season. We was dangerous running out of dummy half. His last round injury was half the reason our hopes went up in smoke (the other half being our half).

I wonder what alternate style of play they’ll play in 2025

Well said Sam. Will be great to see Va’a, Wong, Toia and Mark N in action. I also rate Tait.

Yeah, great to see some of the youngsters get blooded and looking forward to more of Steep and hopefully Elliot and a few others get a run.

I don't have great expectations for next year but I am excited it may usher in a new great era in the next few years, I think next year will be a bit like SKS said 2012 or perhaps 2016 but a better one than that hopefully. We all know what happened a year or two after those seasons and hopefully that will happen again.....

Rads should get the C before Teddy retires in my opinion.

I think he'd be weirdly more respected by the officials.

Teddy seems easy to ignore. He's too slow to put his case to them.

Teddy is just too nice and the refs know it......

Our nrl has strpped the nsw cup side. The nsw cup side will strip flegg and matts comps. We need more first graders.
just on our nsw cup side. We were sh1t earlier on in the year but came on strong for the last 6 games.
2026 there will be a new team in the nrl which will depleat teams of quality players

Walker and Cheese being equal in value is a massive stretch.

If Walker was a 1st round starter, i'd say there was a good chance we might go full jungle ball - without JWH our middles won't intimidate in centre of the park as much as in prior years, and our opportunities will come more and more through the edges.

I still anticipate some form of 'eyes up' footy.

I can see us being less structured than in the past, perhaps without resorting to anything too haphazard.
