Opinion Your 2025 expectations

[Kiama Chris]

I reckon the club will know by around March what is going on. I like Cox's posturing on this. He has spoken about it like he is on the front foot. He will want to know for the team's sake, so I reckon he will put it on Warner to make an early decision.

That is the vibe I get from Cox.

But maybe I'm too positive a person.

My guess is that the club will push Warner's manager through Cameron and Harley who will be the guys responsible for the terms and conditions of the contract. They will work hard to get a commitment on what Warner wants. Without that we're shooting in the dark. Polish the ego. Who is his best mate in the club? Who does he really look up to?
Given that Mills sat the OOC boys down together last year I'm backing that he will be the one to push the mateship angle (perhaps with some help) while Cox pushes performance and achievement.
Not sure if they can come up with some other sweeteners but I reckon they'll try.
Depends on how strong the girlfriend's feelings and influence are. I doubt Mum and Dad will be pulling too hard to bring him home, they were happy for him to come here.
Of course he might just be leveraging WC to get the best possible deal.

I might be wrong, but I think they already know what's going on, and we're in a Christmas/NY holding pattern until they get back in January for Block 2. Harley, Pridham and Cox won't want this lingering on, and potentially distracting from Cox's 1st season as senior coach.

No expectations.

Could play great footy or could be demoralised from the GF.

Gonna set the bar low and hope we get finals.
