NRL.com is totally useless this year.

Thanks for the link and yep nrl.com have totally lost the plot

last year we settled for mediocrity with the selections
No way Kata should be there in week 2 even though we won in the 1st round. Hes a liability who will cost us more games than he will win for us

Yep, I agree, but Kearney won't drop him after a win, probably won't drop him when we stink either

Just heard a headline that a few players are in doubt with a stomach bug, would think they'd be right by the weekend though

Really pleased to read that the huge success of one win isn't going to their heads - feet firmly on the ground despite these incredible highs...

In a way a shame Wallace is still suspended, I'd like to see our middle tested again - I know they coped with Souths but they were poor and I still wonder about our quality there and whether they can withstand the week-to-week grind

We should take this one. Boys on a high. Beat them in preseason.

I’m happy for them to take some confidence from it, last year they were so shot mentally that they couldn’t hold onto leads.

So am I but the media beat up is laughable

It can take it out of you for a few days afterwards.
I'd say trying to stop others getting it is the key. Also limited training for the sick ones.

Always gonna happen when you go from losing nine straight to producing arguably the best game of any team in round one.

When were they ever good, can't stand their loud & bloated site.

Haha, I'm as cynical as you are my friend but I enjoyed the fizz around our first performance. These guys looked genuinely thrilled to win, and hopefully it'll be something they bust their arses to replicate.

I actually loved SJ's comment after the match to Andy Raymond, said it felt like they'd won the bloody comp. Make me smile. It wasn't him saying one win is enough for a party, just that they played well and obviously having worked f**king hard in pre-season to achieve that felt euphoric.

I'm silently confident this Saturday. They'll want to put on a show for home fans, the ones they've been letting down badly for 6 years. The CEO has been very vocal about that lately, good on him.

Web design wise I 100% aqree with you its been terrible for years. So much bloat and unnecessary shit.

But at least you used to be able to view decent game stats, Now they've ditched all the comprehensive stats from the site.

So what options do we have now?

There's some half decent live stats on the sportsmate app

Expecting a crowd of around 18k.

One win in Perth was all it took to start loading up that bandwagon.

I liked the post try deep breath/relax thing they did. I get the feeling the team are trying to avoid the hype and just for once, focus.

Hope it can. I was super impressed by Bunty Afoa.
