We could have saved some cash and sent Bunty to rep us!

Didn’t realise we signed Goro from mortal kombat in the off season…

If brad had a Dollar!

My mate tried to pass that off as his own, I was like " I listen to same fucken podcast you idiot!"

Toss up whether you want good seats or atmosphere. The away supporters great if you want some support and it’s a good atmosphere with the Warrior nation guys but the seats are usually pretty bad, from memory they’re kind of the corner by the try line around to the In goal in Newcastle. The stadiums also a little bit suburban there’s not much in way of places to eat/ drink near the stadium

still trying to find out where to get tickets, any help?

Leka starting at centre? Do not like it one bit.

Should he be shifted to centre mid-game to cover injury when needed? definitely.

Here's hoping they want him to have some reps as the designated cover.

It is 100% that you would expect. EIT was that guy last year. If we had our entire backline playing and he was named at centre, then I would start raising eyebrows.

Berry being at the NRL launch isn't unusual for us. We often send guys who can't play due to still rehabbing an injury or we send an Australian back to see their family for a few days before the season grind starts.

It is easier for the Sydney clubs to send their captain across town. Or a few other clubs with a short drive or a domestic flight.

TSB was paying $1.15 he would trip on the step and do his ankle.

Oh wow I usually just go through NRL.com but they don’t seem to have the option to buy- maybe it’s sold out? I usually just get tickets week of can’t remember too many selling out in Aus

Wow. He's the best non in game skills guy ever. Looking forward to him doing that as a try celebration

There isn’t much talk around Hanson. Is he a chance to start the season at 6?

Run it past the Warriorholic, he seems to have a lot of good oil.

No way he should be starting over Martin atm

Barnett was big upping him on a reel I saw this morning (with the players naming their players to watch), so publicly on the radar now I guess.

Kicking balls in buckets and spinning footy balls on his fingers means he’s likely to surpass his brother. It’s been a long plan to have him born over here and Nathan over there feeling a connection to panthers but the plan is coming to fruition

There is a chance depending on how serious CHT injuries & TMM looks like he will be on the bench with the new interchange rules.

With TMM’s time out of the game, his body could be peak without the wear and tear of missing those years. Looking forward to seeing how he steers the māori side around and hope he picks his moments rather than going for that big shot that saw him ruled out of his last start at halfback. CNK at five eighth will be interesting too, think that was a combination we used in 2024 TMM and CNK in the halves?

Barnett speaking highly of Demitric too

Barnett seems like a straight shooter so Hansen must be doing well this preseason. With CHT and TMM so far unsigned for next year I hope he does well.

Hope Hansen gets his opportunity in 1st grade .... him and Mets would be a clinic in the future.. 2 live wirez in the spine, Healey and I think a recruit @ fullback... Taine has defence lapses... mind you looking at 2027 to be our year...

I have never been overly impressed with Hansen at Cup level, based on limited (10-15 games) times watching him. Has a crack at the line with a dummy and run but haven’t seen examples of a nice passing game. Has anyone else seen examples of a bit of ball playing from him?
