2025 NRL Season Predictions - Top 8 and Premiers - from NOT The Footy Show



2025 NRL Season Predictions
Published March 2, 2025.
NOT The Footy Show might be back in early March for a 2025 NRL Season preview (after Vegas games) but given our last Podcast was in July 2024... you may need to settle for another written set of NRL predictions.
When Robb Cox provides his 1-17 finishing positions for the upcoming NRL Season they will be added, but you do get Warrick Nicolson's below.
We said this last March but at this time of year, you build the predicted season ladder based on 60% last year's form, plus 40% gut feel to get the 1-17 Ladder - it's truly just guesswork.

2025 Regular Season Awards:

State of Origin - NSW 2-1... again 🥳


2025 NRL Grand Final: Melbourne v Manly

I think the Storm have the most game breakers in the one side now Luai has moved to the Tigers from Penrith. Manly are my Cinderella team who put Penrith's quest for 5 in a row to the sword in the Prelim.
