Broncos fly high but Sheens flops as Dally M script flipped: 2023 NRL bold predictions revisited
, as in we intentionally went for broke when making these predictions at the start of the year, so there are inevitably plenty of swings and misses.
The current rules stipulate that where a player resided on their 13th birthday is the state in which they are eligible to represent - unless they’ve played for England or New Zealand. Walker made the Maroons extended squad in 2022 but was overlooked for selection this year as he struggled with form and injuries. The young gun did force his way back into the Roosters starting side and played a big role in their finish to the season.
It didn’t save their season as the Gold Coast finished 14th and they still haven’t won a finals game since 2010.It was another injury-ravaged campaign for Mitchell that sidelined the star for Origin and restricted him to 16 NRL games. Luke Brooks also left to join the Sea Eagles after a decade at Concord and now rookie coach Marshall is without an experienced half for 2024.This one might seem like an obvious pick now but it was far from certain at the start of the season that Croker would hit his milestone.
Hynes wasn’t at his best this season and the Sharks were bundled out in the first week of finals, but he still finished third in the Dally M Medal. Brad Arthur lost Reed Mahoney , Isaiah Papalii , Marata Niukore , Ray Stone , Oregon Kaufusi and Tom Opacic . Ok, Ponga started the season at five-eighth but was heavily concussed just two minutes into Round 2 and spent the next five weeks sidelined.
The 23-year-old had the opportunity to leave the Titans due to a clause in his contract that was triggered after coach Justin Holbrook was sacked, but instead he signed a three-year extension.It’s the fight rugby league fans have been waiting over a decade to see, but Gallen has officially hung up the gloves.Sonny Bill Williams hasn’t fought since copping his first professional loss when he was knocked out by Mark Hunt last November.
The deal worth $900,000 per season will keep him at the club until the end of 2027 and makes him one of the highest-paid backrowers in the NRL.Smith took a long time to get going but once he did the star hooker helped guide the Roosters within a whisker of the preliminary finals. An Ezra Mam hat-trick in the decider looked to clinch the club’s first premiership since 2006 before Nathan Cleary orchestrated the biggest comeback in grand final history.Ok so we thought maybe it was possible the Penrith powerhouse could slide to sixth after losing Viliame Kikau and Api Koroisau. Nope.
