Which Teams will be worse, same or improved next season?

[TIGERS]

Based on what we already know, what teams do you predict to be 'worse' next year???

Worse
1. Warriors. - A few decent signings from the Panthers, but I expect them to struggle in key moments without SJ.
2. Roosters. - Losing a lot of players, looks set for a transitional season, but lets be honest a weak season from the roosters are more successful than our 'good' ones.
3. Dolphins - I predict the usual post Bennett hangover / slide. I predict they won't like playing away from home, and they'll not have the master of mind games to fire them up.
4. Parra - Their era of relative success seems over. Hopefully we are handing them the spoon in 18 hours time. They have some board machinations of their own, they'll need to appoint the right coach. Otherwise you'll see star players wanting to leave.
4. Broncos - I think they will struggle with the amount of uncertainty around Kevvie Walters as their coach.

I’m not sure bulldogs can keep this up there middles are busted they carnt keep playing the way they have there body’s will fall apart. They do have excellent jrns comming through

I would put penriff in the "same" category. They have looked vulnerable a few times this year and are nowhere as dominant as the past 3 seasons. They are losing a few more good players next year and I don't think the replacements are of the same standard.

Yeah I reakon they will come 6th or 7tb next year then win the premiership again the year after they have a super talented young guns coming through

think bulldogs miss the 8 next year they simply have no front rowers

They haven't had their best player on the park pretty much all year. Cleary makes a massive difference to the side.

Signed Tom Amone (prop) and Sitili from the roosters (backrower from the Roosters)

Assume Curran will play prop next year also.

Amone
Curran
Sam Hughes
Max King
Daniel Suluka Fifita
Potentially Kurtis Morrin can play prop also....

Not exactly top tier but they have front row options.

Yes, Bulldogs will continue rising. Their premiership window is only just starting to crack open.

 

[TillLindemann]

2025 spoonbowl will be between Parra and Penrith

2025 GF Tigers vs Storm

 

[Demps]

Yeah, something brewing over there.
Didn't take long either.

Hopefully we're on the same trajectory

Wests Tigers , most improved team ( 7 th )
Parra hit rock bottom
Melbourne on top
Penrith to slide back a bit. ( 5 th)
up there in no order
Storm , Panthers , Tigers , Bulldogs , Manly , South’s , Sharks , Cows
Roosters to just miss out ( 9 th
bottom 3
Dolphins , Raiders , Eels

 

[Speed2burn]

Souffs will probably improve big time … they have far too many good players to be where they are and Bennett just gets it done


We’ll be a lot better and I can see us looking like top 8 contenders for most of the season, but can see us running out of steam by the end and finishing 10th

Roosters I think drop out. Man they are losing a lot of firepower

JWH
Sualii
Manu
Keary

I think this year was their one last tilt at a premiership before they go through a rebuilding phase. Teddy is also close to retirement

Dragons will go back to being shit, Ben hunt needs to go

Penrith will be there abouts, but they will be hugely dependant on Cleary being fit with no more Luai

 

[pacey]

Lots of clubs success will come down to key players staying healthy. They include:

Manly - Turbo
Souths - Lat Mit
Tigers - Luai
Eels - Moses
Broncos - Reynolds
Panthers - Cleary (no Luai to takeover anymore)

Personally, I think Brisbane will bounce back and make a run in the finals if they can stay healthy. Matty Johns was saying something similar happened to the Knights in 1996, a year before they won it .
