"Nailed it NOS, why would he sign with us ? He resides on the Goldy, trains daily in the sun, shirt off covered in zinc , then strolls into their club , has a hit at the clubs driving range or a whack on the clubs pristine golf course , and then…"

That bench is depressing. Move Matterson to the bench and play him front row.

  What happened to him last week. He was named @18 then got scratched. Was he injured?

    Nah not injured, Ryles is teaching him a lesson, whilst the fans are in the foetal position in tears. 😭

  i am surprised they let him post Frankie. Sack the clinic! Mental health is a major problem for the new government.

Dolphins to win by 10+

  Based on what? No JMK, no Saifiti, coming to Sydney where they are not good travelling and we stood up to Cronulla?
  
  Not saying we are morals but we are favourites and should be favourites

    Explain why we should be favourite when we coming last and got worst defence and probably worst attack
    - LB > ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER May 6, 2025 at 8:32pm
      
      We are at home, against a Dolphins team with no JMK or Saifiti, plus Dolphins record at Commbank and Sydney in general is deplorble. They also have no Plath either. They have a few missing in their pack. Full strength they are favourites.
      
      Also coming off a poor performance compared to us who weren't too bad v Cronulla who is a better team than the Roosters who beat the Dolphins.

  Talking about mental health CE how's the Camel races shaping?

Screw it I would debut Mataele, he is set to extend why not give him some game time, then he can be a proper depth option for 2026 with games under his belt.
