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:

8. Lewis Dodd

I will forgive those of you reading who had to google the name. Lewis Dodd has been signed by the Bunnies to replace Lachlan Ilias, who never really replaced Adam Reynolds.

Talk about pressure!

A Super League player, who was dropped mid-season no less, coming into one of the game's biggest clubs in the most important position on the field.

Good like young Lewis.

For the record he looks the goods. He had a brilliant run at St Helens and I have no doubt he'll play well under Wayne Bennett.
