Charity Shield 2025

[KogarahWarrior]

Ward looks very good from what I've seen. That said, Sullivan was the touted as the next best thing and look what happened there.

To be fair with Sullivan, he impressed a lot in his first few games. And then Hook f**ked him up. Same with amone and Sloan, even Feagai. Looked awesome in their first few games and went backwards

I think the last 10 charity shields is something like 8 - 1 - 1 record to Souths.
I know it's a glorified trial, and we just need the practice an injury avoidance, but it'd be nice to do something about that.

Dragons by 10.

Game day, Charity Shield not really like it used to be, now with all games pre season being televised.
However, should be a good final hit out, get through with no injuries, win the game and get ready for dogs round 1. Dogs are $1.30 favourites to win round 1, it’ll be fun when we win.

Key focus on today, complete above 75% Last year we completed at 68%, missed 32 tackles and made 16 errors, that's not good enough. I want us to treat this like round 1 and go after them, we should win this game. GO THE SAINTS!!

Who’s there and how goes the atmosphere?

We might be getting that bus out again this year and we can get ready to get on board ........... We hope ..........

12 or 13 different players in this years squad with butterfingered players like Lomax, Bird, Hunt and Rav not there we should do better in discipline, although last week wasn't too good. Too many dropsies and penalty/ruck infringements. Hopefully that was rust and not Dragonball. There's nothing I hate more than the undoing of all our hard work when someone throws a stupid pass or loses it cold by not concentrating. Every time we hand it over it's more tackles for us, less for them, and giving up hard earned metres. I saw Flanno's face in the box early in the Rorters game, really angry after a Dragons error - I hope he keeps that up a la Bellyache and demands better.

So we have just 1 Sunday game and it's at 2pm and just 5 possible free to air timeslots. WTF. Not good if you don't have Fox or Kayo.
We'll struggle to keep up with the top 8 but going off the 2024 Ladder at round 27, I expect the Roosters, Newi, Manly and the Raiders and possibly even the Cowboys too to slide south and not many teams that were below us to rise much higher (possibly Broncos and Wests, though the latter not far) so anything is possible.

Really keen to watch Hamish Stewart again today, I thought he looked very solid last week. The other one is Sloan, it'll be very interesting to see what type of role he has.

Hot day, good sized crowd. Plenty of Saints supporters, 50/50 to be generous to the Souths supporters.
