2027 Premiership Contenders - Do we have the best roster in the game?

Confirmed.

Hell of a career and a very hard player for them to replace.

has been a very good player, so both Roosters wingers gone

Hurts their attack inside the opposition 20, one of the biggest beneficiaries of the kick & hope era.

 

[JOJO82]

Yep outside of their kicks to wingers they really can't score......probably one of the most boring teams to watch.

Screw them, hope they get the spoon....can't stand the rorters.

 

[HarVeeGee13]

Yeah I'm not writing them off as they have Naufahu Whyte and still a bunch of good athletic forwards besides.

But yeah they were 8th in attack this year despite winning a game 82-12. A lot of games where they were kept pretty quiet.

Without Holbrook on their staff they really seem to get a bit rigid and if they're not absolutely blowing the middle apart they can struggle to break teams down.

 

[JOJO82]

Shows how much of an impact Holbrook had and how much of a bloody good coach he is.

Robinson has won 4 premierships but I don't rate him, would love to see how he goes coaching a team that isn't stacked with rep players.

I think I can predict one team that won’t copy the Knights style

I really like the look of the Warriors next year with Boyd back and an offseason with Leka at centre

1. Warriors
2. Panthers
3. Storm
4. Knights
5. Broncos
6. Roosters
7. Rabbitohs
8. Bulldogs
9. Eels
10. Cowboys
11. Dragons
12. Raiders
13. Sea Eagles
14. Tigers
15. Sharks
16. Titans
17. Bears

No Dolphins there

2027 looking to be a very close year. Hopefully we can get the best out of our players and have less injuries to the side when it matters.

This Knights side is very capable of winning the premiership next year as most of the players haven't even gotten close to reaching their ceilings yet especially blokes such as Brown, Mooney, Hopwood, Sharpe, Manuleulua and McEwen. Toby Winter looked very promising in his debut and expect him to fill Gagai's spot.

Still think it's way too early to predict a ladder next year but I'm absolutely convinced the Knights a premiership contender barring a 2021 Roosters injury crisis.

If the Knights make the 4, they win the title imo. Need some more luck with injuries/suspensions than we had in 27, and a few bounces of the ball actually going our way in the GF wouldn't hurt. But I'll be doubling down on them if they make the 4.

So you’re saying we should get our GF tickets now? I’m in

The thing about us having a very young squad and a new coaching staff is that we worked on our playing style all year and got better and better.

I don't think we are halfway there yet.

I think almost every player has room to improve.
