Official 2025 NRL General Discussion

[HaroldBishop]

Former Kangaroos and Dragons forward Trent Merrin has been charged with stealing $140,000 worth of cryptocurrency after allegedly using deceptive means to transfer the funds from a victim’s account.

Merrin, who retired from the NRL in 2021 after 250 first grade games, was arrested at his home in the Shellharbour region on Tuesday morning, one year after police began investigations into the alleged theft from a 29-year-old man’s cryptocurrency account.

Remember innocent until proven guilty

Plenty of court cases dismissed for NRL players over the years

Who will be some of the first players announced by the bears?

My guess is that some of the below names will be announced in the next month or so.


Griffin Neame
Toby Sexton
Sione Katoa
Rueben Garrick
Zach Dochar-Clay
Connor Tracey
Matt Burton
Cam Mciness
Jesse Arthurs
Tom Jenkins
Tyran Wishart
Billy Walters
Sean Keppie
Angus Crighton
Dylan Walker

Toby, Sione, Connor, Matt, Angus, Cam ? would be decent pick ups, along with a few younger guys. A while ago I thought Cam would be a great pick up and captain for them, but not so sure now. Could do worse than Wishart, Clay, Kewpie, Garrick etc. Would steer clear of Walker tho.

Sliding Doors moment when he broke up with Sally.

Why mate, why???

Nice to see a win for the little guy.

Broncos able to add Cam Smith to their coaching staff...

Just when I thought I couldn't hate the Broncos anymore.

Weren’t we always told supposedly he hated the broncos for overlooking him or something

Apparently
But now, with a fist full of dollar bills, he loves them again

He needed a second contract. Habits die hard.

Surely Sally did the breaking ?

You mean sally got broken by 2 others playing for panthers

Don’t think he hated them, just played with a little extra motivation against them.

A good job with a good paycheck makes all those old grudges fade away.

I wonder if they added a ring for his wife for good measure.

Teams that score a try could be made to kick off to restart play in 2026 in one of the biggest rule changes that the NRL has contemplated recently to avoid lopsided results.

NRL considers radical rule change for kick-offs for season 2026

The NRL has shied away from making radical changes to its rules in recent years, but that could be about to change.

Definitely going to see fewer penalty goals if that happens I think. Part of the incentive of taking the two is getting the ball back.

Doesn’t specifically state it would be the case off penalties
