2025 pre season thread

Photos from today have Lucas and KPP.
Can't see Elliott, Leo, Best or Crossland.

Can see Lucas, KPP, Hastings, Sharpe, Brailey, Cogger, Pryce, JSaf, Marzhew, Sua, Croker, Ponga, Frizzel, Hopwood, Cant, Hetherington, Riley Jones.

The guy who looks most impressive is Riley Jones. He looks as fit as one of those Olympic swimmers.
 
Photos from a few days ago showed them running hills - probably King Edward Park.
They showed Gamble, McCarthy, Greacen, Croker, Cant, Sutton.

We get dissed every year and written off, and Adam O'Brien is always under the "most pressure" but he's consistently been in finals since being here every year bar one. That's better than 8+ coaches each year

Rinse and recycle - get picked to be bottom 4 or thereabouts, get called a one man team, roster isn’t that great on paper, make finals…. Still say they weren’t impressed
 
SEN radio has been running player rankings in each position and then coach rankings on their instagram. Apart from Ponga and Best, our players were ranking in the bottom one or two for each position. Then the coach rankings - AOB was ranked fourth last! I questioned this pointing out if all our players are so poor, and Ponga and Best were also both injured for a good chunk of the year, then surely it must be a decent coaching performance to get us to the finals? Not just this year but 4 out of 5 times?

It’s just not making sense, something here must be a bit good? lol

The reply was we’re “just not good.” Ok, thanks for the in depth analysis. About what you expect from NRL media, unfortunately.

I would honestly say we’ve overachieved with the halves we have - yet AOB is the 4th worst coach make it make sense
 
Yeah Obi getting zero credit from anyone in the media for leading us to the Finals last year was a joke. People were saying we’d come last after Ponga went down against the Bulldogs. We then won 4 games in a row but we’re still a 1 man team apparently.

Journalists generally are a complete joke nowadays and RL journos are close to the most incompetent of a terrible bunch.
