General 2025 your season review

[jonesy101]

It's been really interesting reading some of the observations. I've seen some comments about bench usage and I thought this year Webster was less risk averse compared to 2024. He put a lot more trust in the young guys minutes and his use of the bench utility in Martin didn't feel much different to the way Madge was using Walters as well as Ricky with Pattie's timings. Prop rotation felt pretty normal too when looking at how Fitzgibbon has used Addin. For the juniors Leka deserves a lot of praise, but Demetric has been a revelation as well. EIT and Laban were also looking first grade ready before their injuries and I can't wait to see how they go in 2026.

I wonder if we were too harsh on Curran. Obviously can't speak on behind close doors, which must have been the cause. But the dude was always full effort on the field. I bet if they knew Walker would ditch us we'd have reconsidered. I think he would have made a big difference this year in rotation with Clarke. Would be especially handy as a transition forward while the youngins get ready.

Good season, great even but we can do so much better.
With such a poor team on paper all the losses and injuries 6th position is a superb effort. With a bit of finals experience now a run later on in the season with some valuable players wrapped up in cotton wool to start might be the way(ala penrith).
Also im Loving cheering on our future teams all the best vs Dragons this weekend.
