The 2025 NRL draw is out...
A brief article about next year's draw
This morning, the NRL released the 2025 draw which officially means ladder prediction season is upon us. Therefore, the TC ladder predictor is up and loaded with the latest fixtures and ready to handle everyone’s questionable takes. You can try it out here.
Some quick analysis
The most obvious surprise is the Broncos losing their place as primary Thursday/Friday mainstays, with the Roosters taking up a staggering 12 Friday night places.
For what it’s worth, Eels and Storm probably have the most even distribution of match days while Tigers, Roosters, Raiders and Dragons have the most lopsided.
We can see that Raiders, Eels, Tigers and Titans play their matches the earliest on average while Roosters, Rabbitohs, Broncos, and Storm are the opposite. This follows suit with normal broadcaster preferences of previous years.
