It's a bit rough to say that someone is under pressure for 2025 before the pre-season has even begun, but for many NRL players that is reality.

Whether it be to retain a spot, justify a contract, or throwing the hopes of an entire fanbase on their shoulders, every NRL contracted player bares some type of pressure.

Today we are going to look at 10 who enter the 2025 under huge pressure.

Again, not all of these players are playing for contracts, or their future. Some even find themselves in a position not of their own doing, more-so down to pure circumstance.

With that said, below are the top 10 players entering 2025 under pressure:

9. AJ Brimson

Aj Brimson is a brilliant player. I am an unashamed fan of his.

That said, he just signed a mega money contract extension despite not really having a first choice spot in the Titans lineup.

Do you move youngsters Keano Kini or Jayden Campbell? Do you try Brimson again at centre despite it not working last year?

Do you shelve Kieran Foran and enter 2025 with a new halves combo? Do you make Brimson the game's most highly paid utility?

Brimson has to find a spot and justify that monster extension. Early and often!
