Newtown Jets claimed their ninth NSW Cup premiership last year after beating the North Sydney Bears in a thrilling grand final as the two top sides from the regular season battled it out.
George Ndaira's side will be looking to make it back-to-back title triumphs in 2025, although will face stiff competition from the likes of Canberra, New Zealand Warriors and Penrith.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, the Western Suburbs Magpies will be desperate to avoid another wooden spoon.
The Magpies picked up just six wins during the previous campaign, as did the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
Meanwhile, Parramatta and the Sydney Roosters will be aiming for improved performances after labouring throughout the competition.
