Saturday couldn't come sooner enough 🔥🔥

I’m looking forward to the footy starting.
This other crap annoys me.
The club has not earned the right to produce this stuff.

Actually agree with you tucker. But id say its mostly for sponsorship revenue.

they played newcastle at Campbelltown

Thanks mate , but that’s already been clarified . I misremembered

Hopeys attitude was actually pretty good

Very good insight which showed snippets of the players with good fitness levels and leadership qualities.
Great to see how well an experienced player such as Royce Hunt has bonded with a young up and comer in Heamasi.
Great too see how dedicated and mature Heamasi and Jared Haywood both are.

Didn’t that look a smidge scripted and awkward to you?

He’s what 28/29 ? I know he’s only playing nrl in his second year , but he’s been around the game a long time . Getting 3 times a week from 630pm to 9pm , getting home then getting up at sparrows to do weights to then go to work , to then get home and do it all over again . He’s have a fair idea of how your brain get betray you if you let it . T

To guys like him and Murray and Herbert , I’d imagine getting to train during the day , and all you have to worry about is getting to work on time , would be a godsend .

The start of pre season auditorium speech ? He’d have been working on that for 3 months . Like all the nrl coaches . Video or no video .

Is junior Meredith the former prop ?

You thinking martin.meredith?
Joined us from souths...terrific ball player...developed a heart condition and had to quit RL

I actually thought that myself

....but i did think Maka seemed quite mature for his age....

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Brother, its a BTS training video. It's not that serious. Almost every professional sporting organisation in the world does this type of content now. Deep breaths.

Be a bigger concern if they didn't produce it, especially for sponsor exposure.

It's 2 years in a row now we've listened to the Talk the Talk and it gives us all a very warm and fuzzy feeling.

But this is the season for the team to Walk the Walk, pre-season form was encouraging but it means jack if it doesn't progress into the real stuff, look what happened to pawa in the 1st round.

This goes for Benji too, defense/attack/gameplans all have to improve if we want to make the finals, may the injury gods be kind.

More the coffee date. Benji’s speech obviously not as awkward.

He’s in his late 20’s, but is definitely a bit bigger and stronger than last season and I think we will see a more confident and improved player in 2026.

I found the video interesting as a window into the pre season training regime and as an insight into the personalities of a few young players, Benji looked and sounded very focused and direct. I hope it resonates with the players and, like a few others have said, it actually bears fruit during the season and doesn't end up being another fluffy promotional tool. A genuine question though, is it typical of all coaches to insert the f word constantly while making a point? Madge was a shocker but is Benji the same?
