Players are on leave, presents are being opened, and food is being prepared to be consumed.
But what does your club want under the Christmas tree in 2025?
Here is what's on the wishlist for every team this year.
To all our readers, the Zero Tackle team wishes you a very Merry Christmas and happy holidays.
Parramatta Eels
No injuries for Mitchell Moses
The Eels are a club who look like they could make a bounce up the ladder in 2026.
What they really need for that to happen though is a fit Mitchell Moses. He is one of the NRL's most influential players when you consider the impact to an individual club.
If Moses plays, the Eels look a chance of beating anyone. If he doesn't, then they look more likely to lose.
It's as simple as that.
That's not to say he can guide Parramatta to a premiership, but for any sembelance of a successful season, they need Moses on the park.







That was an enjoyable read Scott, on a Boxing Day morning with a temperature that precludes a dip in the water.
I think you’ve nailed it for most of the clubs, there.
If you get bored future gazing, and fancy a change to “fantasy” mode, how about giving us a column of “the one thing they would do differently, if they had 2025 again….” ?
