It’s grown on me. All the new signage around Belmore with the logo looks good. Looking at some of the members items in the packs, it looks good. Admittedly I still don’t think it looks right on the jersey. In other instances I think it looks quite good.

Just spit balling here. And before anyone has a crack. Joel Caine has mentioned this before (I know half the time his ideas are cooked). But, could Woods play Fullback to ease himself into grade? Caine reckons he’d be an absolute gun at FB. Seeing as he was once an AFL player, could be alright...

I thought the rumour was we were going back to black and blue for our away strip from 2026.

Looks like the boys are flying somewhere for a camp?

Gus has said Galvin came first in the yo-yo test today. Woods a close 2nd. For mine the pressure this pre season is right on Burton after Cirros comments about his fitness on the pod with Kent a month or so ago.

Not the worst draw. Not a bad opening. Middle part of the season, we could go on a decent run with. The bye spacing is ridiculous. We play only once before originally, playing Storm. End of the year is difficult.

If Woods has a monster pre season. I expect him to be the 14. Burton and Galvin should be on their toes.

Anyone have any info on this? Club has been pretty poor to be honest this season with the communication. No news on packs, no news on Xmas parties. Meanwhile they’re flogging privileged fans with boxes of free jerseys and stickers. A lot of members give the packs as Xmas presents, myself...

Didn’t Baker have big wraps on him?

Saw him at the local shops in Souths gear. Clearly left the club.

He was good last year. Useless **** this year.

Hopefully he heard our fans bagging our powderpuff forwards that game.

I must say. As a member, also whose membership has already auto renewed. To see kids on insta getting free merch. Rubs me the wrong way. Nothing has been mentioned about the membership packs. How about sending loyal members some free stickers? That kid is purely a mouthpiece to try to convince...

You’d think we’re favourites to land him.

If I’m being honest, worried about next season. Thompson will help, but we need more. Lack speed in the backs. Hope I’m wrong. But top 4 might be a stretch next season. Should be able to still make the 8 though.

Been an assistant in premiership winning teams Roosters and Storm. People quick to forget knights 2 years ago, attack was the best in the competition.

No better time to become a member of the club.

I don’t think he’s even had a week off. He was spotted at the local oztag field 2 weeks ago training. That was the Wednesday after we got eliminated. Good to see.

Is Damon Marshall still at the club? He looked to be a solid unit.

Not a bad depth signing to be honest.

To me the writing is on the wall for Burton. I think he won’t be at the club after next year. I think potentially he may have played his last game. He didn’t have a great season. And it’s a wonder how busted his knee was. He looked fantastic first few games, especially at Belmore. But then he...

Joel and Fletch spoke about this on SEN this arvo. Didn’t name his name but alluded to him. Said he would stay on GC, and fly down and do 3 days a week.

It honestly wouldn’t suprise me if Burton isn’t with the club next season. I’ve got no info or nothing. I just think Galvin will be 6. I reckon Critta moves to 1. Tracey could play centre. I think there will be a bit of movement during the off season.

I’d put Burton on the market. He’s had more than enough time. Good games are too far apart. I love him. But he needed to lift recently. And I think Galvin is a natural five eight. I’d also add Kikau. He looks a shadow of his best. Yesterday he barely made an impact. I heard we were getting...

A superstar HB or FB won’t do much behind our forward pack. They were trash back end of the season.

Critta out. Big loss leadership wise. But I think team has good balance. Weirdly think we're a chance?

Crichtons missus ripped into them about it.

Yep everyone is talking about panthers having a dream run and talking about how that game will be. I know we’re injury hit. But fuck me dead give us a chance. Penrith barely put away Warriors last week. Getting a bit more hope longer the week goes on.

He stopped being a bulldog the minute he ruined Sherwins career.

I’m not suprised Critta was named. I said to my missus as soon as Gus said on sat night footy Critta 2-4 weeks he was fixing. The journo said there was a delay of 24-48hr scan results. Your telling me Gus had results hours after Critta scan on Saturday? I have no doubt he was injured. But...

That’s suprising. I just had a look and Level 6 is selling tickets now. It’s going to be minimum 70K

It’s going to be a high pressure cooker on Sunday. Cleary has delivered on the big stage. However he has also froze on the big stage (origin). There’s suggestions he’s not fully fit. We need to get at him. Every time he passes. Push him (within limit) and make him hit the deck. Markers need to...

This week is our GF. Boys will out in a shift. Missing Critta could be the difference. However, I still have a suspicion he might play? Can’t wait to get out there and cheer the boys on. Have faith. It’s finals footy. Penrith aren’t as good as they’re made out to be this year. They’re definitely...

Mann said Sexton would be starting 7 this week.

Just saw a headline 5 dogs in doubt. What the fuck? Who are they?

That tickets buying experience was a fucking ordeal. I got in and timed out twice. I’d pick my aisle and it would just refresh. Then say no tickets available. Happened twice. My sister then got in and landed 10 tickets. But she’s got us 140-2. Smack bang in the middle of Panthers supporters bay...

Tickets on sale in an hour. But no info available for categories. Ticket prices. Have a big group so can’t get tickets in one transaction. Wanted same section. Can’t even check what section to buy. Fucking pathetic.

It will be on Sunday. So a 9 day turn around for us. Hopefully the boys will be fresh. And day time footy. That suits us down to a tee!

Arvo slot suits us a lot better for mine.

Fuck it. Why can’t we be the team to end the streak?

Apparently talk it will be on Sunday.

Im just going off Gus history. Always adds some GST.

Critta will play next week.

They are going to have to schedule the prelim for them the night of the AFL GF. Sucked in *****.

Hard to be critical of anyone tonight. Tough, brave and gritty performance. EVERYTHING went against us, yet still in there last minutes of the game fighting. Boys never gave up. Big chance next week. Hoping the Wahs get up tomorrow, or if they lose, they absolutely bash them.

Hooooooly fuck I’m so nervous man!!!

Man I’m so fucking nervous excited.

I figured the long term plan would be for Galvin to move to lock once he fills out. ***** huge for only 20. Get him in the gym and he’ll be our lock moving forward from 27 onwards.

And dare I say looked good. We were carving up Souths before that storm hit.

Sexton onto the bench. I don’t mind that. Sexton can just be chucked on and roam if we’re chasing the game.

Strangely I’m getting more and more confident by the day. I just watched a video with Blake Austin talking about the dogs. He thinks finals will suit us to a tee. More fatigue will make our “small” pack stronger as we’re more mobile. He claims it rubbish people have written us off. Hearing...

Kiraz and Hayes extended bench. You’d think Kiraz in for Wilson. Hayes in for??? Curran?

If we can go there only missing Xerri. That’s massive. Getting Hayes, Kiraz back and having Montoya. Huge. Fuck this week is going to drag. Is it Friday yet?

It’s a simple game plan. Kick chase needs to be on. Line speed. But the big thing is DISCIPLINE. No yardage penalties. High completion rate. We get in the grind and we can win. Everyone bagging our attack? We go there with the mindset to win 6-0. That’s where we win. We back our defence.

Fantastic news!

I’m getting the sense the dogs are going down with a siege mentality. Seems they’re going in with a fuck the media attitude. Apparently Critta had that attitude today at captains call.

Love the bit at the end where they clip the media talking shit. Then Critta saying we’re chasing greatness. Get behind the boys. Getting more confident of the boys putting in a shift and getting that W

Try this website mate. I hadn’t got mine and sent an email to the club, still nothing. Used this and it came up with my AAN. https://aan-redemption.nrl.com/

Let the kid play. It wasn’t a fucking hip drop.

Has Ciraldo been foxing? I’m hoping it’s a case of he’s meticulously planned out the season for this 4 weeks. Times will tell. To the dogs!

I don’t know how to feel. It’s been a good year. And honestly, a top 4 finish has by far exceeded expectations. And for that, I’m stoked. On the other hand, watching such an insipid performance last night. It was concerning. Part of me does think, we’re just playing through the motions, not...

To recruit him? Not against it, but where does he play?

I think our attack is getting worse. It’s so side to side. No one straightens the attack. Fucking horrible to watch.

If it’s a nothing match, why not rest players then? I can’t think of one player in form at the moment.

I’m hoping the latter also. Last year we looked gone and then performed in the semi. But this year. I don’t know. We look busted. Really disappointing tonight. It’s not the loss. It’s how we lost. So deflated.

Yeah I’ve searched everywhere and I haven’t got mine. No biggie, wasn’t planning on going to Melbourne. Just wanted to know if I should have got it. Edit this website gets it for you. https://aan-redemption.nrl.com/

Hey guys. Did members receive an email today with there AAN for finals tickets? Not a major problem as wasn’t planning on going to the Storm game. But I haven’t received an email with mine today.

We won’t get a better chance at going down there and beating them with no Hughes and Papi. Talk of Faalogo being back, I thought he was done for the year with his hammy!

I doubt they’ll fight it. He missed a game recently with delayed concussion. With his history, they’d be mad to dispute it. We have a massive opportunity to get a home prelim.

Storm confirmed Papi failed HIA. He’s out next week

He failed it. He’s out. 11 day stand down.

At the end of the day. Were a better chance of beating them without Hughes then with Hughes. Has anyone heard anything about Papi HIA? Heard it was cat 2. He missed a game recently with delayed concussion. Any chance he misses?

I’m sure this will be our mantra and approach to the finals. We have the best defence in the comp. Defence wins comps. This is what shits me about the attack criticism. If we need to score 5 tries to win a final 30-28. That’s a problem. We have the attack to create and score 2-3 tries a game...

Would much rather them win tonight. Don’t want to play them off the back of two losses.

Shows how flawed the system is. You want the best players playing in finals. Not suspended because they’ve had infringements during the year.

I was keen on resting players. But I think we need to play and work on our attack. I think we will see a return to our suffocating defence style. It’s funny. I think this year we’re better placed for a finals assault. I understand the worries about injuries. But all the top 4 have named full...

Sharkies have a lot of injuries. McInnes also gone for the year. Wouldn’t be opposed to playing them week 2.

For mine rest players we don’t have adequate replacements for. I’d be resting Critta, Tracey, King, Mann, Kikau, Preston.

It’s funny. The word was they don’t really need a home final, as comm bank isn’t there true home. But I don’t think Cleary was banking on Wahs finishing 6th. Penrith may throw next week to finish 8th and avoid flying to NZ. That’s depending on chooks beating Bunnies next week.

With tonight’s results. Looking like Panthers could be up for a trip to NZ week 1. Win that and face the loser of Storm and Dogs.

I reckon he’ll be back week 1.

Despite all the whinging and carrying on, I’d argue we are in a better position than last year. We got pumped at home last two games last year.

I think Ciraldo learnt a lot last year. Our whole year has been planned on the finals. The pre season army camp at Accor. So when times get tough in finals, they can look back on that day and get through it. Walking to the games with the big crowds. Getting use to the support, and using...

Looked to be alright singing the team song

Has bears written all over him. Wish we landed Holbrook when we had the chance.

Did everyone seriously expect Ciraldo to roll out our game plan against reserve graders? Ciraldo ain’t dumb. He’d know we’re most likely to play Storm week 1 and if we lose Panthers week 2.

Oh and people sooking about the attack. Lucky defence wins comps. We don’t need to score 5 tries to win a comp. We only need 2-3. And that’s the mantra we would play to. Back our defence to hold teams to 1-2 tries. It’s that simple.

This. First top 4 finish in 13 years. Who had us top 4 start of the year? I certainly didn’t. Enjoy that result. Rest a few next week. Pray Kiraz injury is minor. And buckle up for a Melbourne ambush ala 2014.

I just looked and his Twitter is gone.

Going off body language, he could be season done. He looks dejected.

Yeah noticed one play at the end the whole left side waved there arms up when he went right. Burton and Curran were filthy.

Hayward was shithouse tonight.

Sadly I think that could be his season. Though I take it a good sign he was walking off?

Tonight is nothing but a glorified training run. If you lot honestly think Ciraldo would roll out our best attacking gameplan, give yourself an uppercut. Tonight is purely to get the win and that is it.

I couldn’t give a fuck about this result. Get out with the two points, no injuries and keep them to nil. Always stoop down to the opposition level. Always.

Was that Gavin Badger in our shed with club gear on?

Peter Badel reporting it

Titans back up FB. Belmore bound apparently. Exciting player.

I take that as his not playing. Not wearing the captains run shirt.

If we re-sign Burton it would only be if Galvin has transitioned to lock.
