NRL 2025 draw report card: Winners, losers, every club’s fixture analysed

The 2025 NRL draw has been released and only five clubs have earned a sub-par grading in our analysis special. We reveal the winners and losers in our 17-club report card.

They’ve long been accused of receiving the softest draw in the NRL, but 2025 looks brutal for the Sharks, one of three clubs to play 13 games against top-eight teams from last season.

But Cronulla isn’t the only club to face the wrath of the draw, with the Raiders, Rabbitohs and Roosters earning poor marks in our report card.

On the flip side, our markers gave a strong pass to 12 clubs, including the Broncos, Wests Tigers and Eels.

In a win for clubs, the draw will feature the fewest five-day turnarounds in history, 21, with the Bulldogs and the Eels leading the way with 14 games in the prime time slots.

We’ve separated the 17 teams into winners and losers, highlighting every club’s byes, blockbuster match-ups, and who they play twice.

Scroll down for the full report card.
