Unlike the Parra game, I genuinely don't care if we win or lose this one I'm just keen to see players get a rare run. I think this is a much kinder game for Cooper johns to show what he is capable of, and I'm very happy Leutele get a run even if he won't be used during the finals. Shame about Finuca...

Well - I'm certainly comfortable with our attacking prowess leading into finals, but the defence is a big worry. Some seriously uncharacteristic misreads for some of their tries. I hope it's just complacency, Bellamy will fix that in no time! Absolute shame JAC is off next year, he's hit another lev...

Roosters are just on a different level imo. Will take a perfect game from the two Cam's to beat them. We did almost everything right in last years prelim and they got by us because Tupou found a way to get the ball down from above his head against multiple defenders, and Olam literally having his f...

Not overly happy with that. We are at the point in the season where we need to be firing all over the park going into finals. But not too concerned either, we have some key players to come in and aside from yesterday our defence has been water tight this season... might have been a timely kick up th...

And Max King, or has he already had game time this season?

Has played a few I thought

Is this the deepest the team has ever been? Maybe, but I can;t remember having to test our depth like we have this year. Players used the past 5 seasons. 2020 - 29 2019 - 29 2018 - 29 2017 - 31 2016 - 27 Worth noting other years had origin affected games + more games in the season which would have ...

We will put our foot on the throat for the next 3 games leading into finals.
Players coming back, our backslide in full swing, halves clicking, Smith just being Smith...it's exciting times!

I'd be tempted to put Leutele on the bench. It's important to get some level of match fitness into him, even if that is a 30 minute stint.

Overall good performance. We dodged a bullet early with Garrick *lima lima lima duck* up that try, but form there we settled and dominated. Manly had hardly any field possession because our forwards were too good, we essential started with 4 props in the starting line up. Two more injuries, very co...

There's no way in my mind he plays at another club. I simply can't process the thought.

Well that wasn't great viewing as expected. A lot can be said about the officiating in that game - but focusing on the performance we dug in defensively but there was just no spark in attack. Had rare moments, but ultimately let ourselves down with last tackle decisions. All to be expected. Thought ...

Injury report from Storm / Frank: Dale Finucane groin 5 - 6 weeks Cameron Munster knee 1 - 2 weeks (chance for next week v Manly more likely week after v Souths) Cameron Smith shoulder won't be named this week, likely to play next week v Manly Tui Kamikamica back available just before finals Marion...

We can afford a loss so I'm glad it looks like we won't risk Hughes or Smith. But I'm backing us push the Eels for the full 80 mins.

On thing is for certain though - Fergo will score his first try of the season here.

Most nervous I have ever felt before a game, and I've been to all but 2 of our Grand Finals. I think they have the mental edge over us, but physically we should batter them. We have primed, fully fit while they are just about shot. The only reason we would lose this is if they get into our heads. We...

Happening now I think.

Saw the live presser about an hour ago. Bellamy throwing shade at the Sharks for accusing us of being grubs. Great to see
