Good morning my fellow South Sydney members and fans as we all wake up with excitement and anticipation today. It's a glorious morning, and it will hopefully be a glorious day because that's right, it's game day!!!!! Pumped for this one as we take on one of our Sydney rivals, the Tigers up there on the Central Coast this afternoon. Afternoon Footy is back for us today and I can't wait!!!
To be honest, and I don't want to sound arrogant, but I just feel completely confident today. I say that with my fingers crossed so I don't jinx the lads, but I really am. I feel like the entire organisation would have been really disappointed and hurting after last week, to come so far with our Footy and then take a real step back. So they'll all be looking to make amends. And that's what today is all about, bouncing back and getting back to the Footy we know we can play. We're better than what we dished up last week and we need to show that today. I just get the feeling that our boys are going to do that, and do it well, and I hope that will be way to strong for Wests.
The Tigers come into this a bit down and out. Their recent form is poor, they have a bit of off-field turmoil in the coaching staff, and they're lacking confidence and swagger. That is a side that is there for the taking if we're onto it today, and a side we should be beating. No Koroisau is huge for them. At the same time, I'm aware that the bounce-back and redemption will be a huge factor for them too, maybe even more than us as they were embarrassed last week but I hope we're good enough to handle that. I expect them to come out firing and give their all, but I also expect us to do that same.
If we play with the sort of application that got us on this run today, we will win this and hopefully win it well. Go out there and do it lads!
Great for our Central Coast members and fans to get some South Footy up there for the first time since 2022 as well!! central Coast has been good to us in the past, and I hope it's good again today.
So confident while being a little wary today! Just keen to get into it, not long to go now!!
Let's bring it!!!!!
Glory, Glory.
