Welcome to 2024!

With the new year comes new opportunities. A chance to better oneself and aim for the stars.

By now we've all made our new year's resolutions. Whether it be the old chessnuts like losing weight, chasing that dream job, asking that pretty girl out, or shooting for immortality, we've all now set ours.

So too will each and every NRL club.

Not in any real capacity of course, but let's have some fun and look at what your NRL side's new year's resolution should be!

Please take these as the tongue in cheek comment that they are. I've tried to be serious, where possible, but there's still two months until the NRL season kicks off, so let's have a laugh together.

7. Manly Sea Eagles - To prove everyone wrong

Fans across the competition, this one included, raised their eyebrows when the Sea Eagles announced the signing of Luke Brooks.

Manly, famed for not caring what people think of them, will be out again in 2024 to prove everyone wrong.

If Brooks plays to his potential, and certain players stay fit, Manly are capable of causing some real issues at the business end of the season.

For Manly to be players in 2024 they need Brooks to play far more consistently than he has in years gone by.

Manly have a history of proving people wrong so it'll take someone braver than I am to write them off from doing it yet again.
