Shafted once again

[Peter C]

Looking at our draw during the farking State of Origin this year, it appears that we play all three games before each S of O, we only get a couple of byes after two of the games.
We play Parra before game one, Titans before game two and Souths before three.
As usual we'll be without our glorious leader, good chance of Haumole and Tom, and possibly Jake and like last year we can probably write off all three, FAAAARK

Yep, we were already screwed , this will seal it.

If we can't beat those 3 bottom 5 sides, we don't deserve to play finals.

All Premiership Winning teams prevail through out SOO and without their star players
NO EXCUSES

 

[MissKate]

Plus the nrl are taking our home finals game away from Brookie (if we earn it). Kept that little gem quiet

 

[BOZO]

Excuses are Never Impressive
Excuses come only from the Uninspiring and the Incompetent

 

[Tragic Eagle]

This side needs to show resilience. We need to get thru it and get the job done without excuses.

WTF?

You'll have to bring it up next year possibly, no need to worry in '25.

WTF?

Buzz mentioned it in his column today, but only because shark park is in the same boat.
NRL is so unequal. Roosters get a massive new stadium built for them by the taxpayers, and get a guaranteed home final because of it. We have to beg for handouts and get shafted at finals time because we don’t get massive taxpayer funded leg ups. The game is such an uneven playing field it’s beyond ridiculous.

 

[Disco]

Oh the woe is me stuff is tiring.

Every clubs fans think they are hard done by.

We may miss DCE, Tom and maybe Haumole.

Parra will likelly miss Moses and Lomax.

Titans will have no Tino.

Souths possibly no Latrell.

If we aspire to be a team of substance then we'll have to put our big boy pants on and deal with it.

Sharks got millions and millions for all the development at their ground. Their leagues club is still not opened and no one says where all the cash has gone. But they all still whinge and moan and put out their hands for cash. F#ck the sharks. Nothing will happen at Brookie whilst ever the teals are around, they have no say at all now.

I have zero sympathy for the sharks. That development of theirs was supposed to be the golden egg that guaranteed their future. Looks like some developers got rich and left them with a ground that looks like it was dropped into the back parking lot of a 1970s Moscow hospital. It’s the ugliest ground in professional sport. As for the teals, they were pointless before and even more so now that no one needs to suck up to them.

Was Benny Elias involved 🤔

Point taken, but it is probably more valid to express this in terms of % of salary cap missing, rather than individual players.

 

[Rocky]

Spoiler alert... It's good if you have state of origin players

 

[Nike]

There's no guarantee any of our players are certain selections, DCE's like 37? He might not even want to play, but then again when know what motivate$ him. Tom's got competition especially if he pulls up lame before now and Origin, Haumole was out of the team by game 3 and his replacement impressed and Jake, well with all due respect I think Origin is passed him - passion or not.

I could see them all being in camp but I don't think anything's a given yet, hell most of you haven't even mentioned Bullemor, a likely dark horse, in your considerations.

Yeah Looks like a prison workout yard.

 

[DUFFMAN]

Should have been smart after the 2008 grand final and burnt Brookie down.
Worked for Parramatta back in the 80's, nice new stadium built as a replacement.

I will never see a new stadium at Brookie in my life time, I doubt my unborn grandkids will either.
