In the upcoming 2025 NRL season, a new feature will be introduced, with last year's final table used as a base. Each week, teams will either rise, fall, or remain static, depending on their weekend performances.

This system will not reflect the actual 2025 NRL competition ladder but will provide an alternate perspective on each team's current standing.

Last year's finishing order: 1. Storm, 2. Panthers, 3. Roosters, 4. Sharks, 5. Cowboys, 6. Bulldogs, 7. Sea Eagles, 8. Knights, 9. Raiders, 10. Dolphins, 11. Dragons, 12. Broncos, 13. Warriors, 14. Titans, 15. Eels, 16. Rabbitohs, 17. Tigers

After recently extending his contract, North Queensland Cowboys halfback Jake Clifford has assured fans that he has no plans to leave the club. He has committed to the Cowboys until 2026, but in the unpredictable world of the NRL, contracts can often feel uncertain.

Clifford has found himself at the center of speculation regarding a potential transfer to the Canberra Raiders. The Raiders are reportedly seeking an experienced halfback to join their young duo of Ethan Sanders and Ethan Strange next season, especially with Jamal Fogarty moving to the Manly Sea Eagles to fill the spot vacated by Daly Cherry-Evans.

Following the Cowboys' impressive victory over the Newcastle Knights, Clifford appeared on Fox Sports' The Matty Johns Show. During the show, former player and panelist Brian Fletcher inquired about any communication Clifford might have had with Raiders coach Ricky Stuart.

Manly Sea Eagles fans are urging coach Anthony Seibold to plan for the future, which could spell trouble for Daly Cherry-Evans. With the team now four points behind the top eight and only three rounds left, their chances of making the finals appear slim given their current performance.

The Sea Eagles have lost four consecutive matches, effectively diminishing their playoff hopes, especially with the red-hot Roosters sitting four points ahead in eighth place. Manly's remaining games are against the Dolphins, Dragons, and Warriors, and winning all three is essential to keep any hope alive for a postseason appearance.

Given that the playoffs seem unlikely, fans are calling for Seibold to introduce younger talent into the squad. One player frequently mentioned is talented playmaker Joey Walsh, seen as a future asset for the team in the halves.
