Who’s “ stepping up” in 2025

My head will explode if I continue to watch that right edge defense i.e DCE and Garrick running up and leaving gaps everywhere. If that isn't fixed then we'll continue to be also rans.

Bringing young forwards through this year is very important with our pack one of the eldest in the NRL and a number of players approaching the end of their careers. It wound be a mistake to focus on safe selections its time to head into the future if we are to compete for the title any time soon.

I mentioned in a another thread that Chris Patolo will be a surprise package in 25. I would like to add Siua Taukeiaho to this. If both these guys can stay injury free, I think they will make a huge difference to our pack. Both (unfortunately) have some bad history with injuries so fingers crossed for them (and us). Another newbie I think will stand up is Zaidas Muagututia. Not seen this kid play but I understand from a couple of my older Bulldogs friends that he is a gun hooker. Looking forward to the trials.
