- Payne is fine, just doing Ramadan
- We all know what Payne's like, puts in 100% week in, week out
- Its been good mate, yeah mate, really enjoying it
- Enjoying little things, who to tackle, when to run (paraphrasing)
- Its up to Maguire if he wants us to keep doing what he's doing, up to him if this is long term
- Tell me more about Payne mate, yeah he's real good (so many questions about Haas)
- Canberra is a solid side, a real solid side, good from the inside out
- Yeah see how we go, execute, stuff like that
- Yeah gotta shut Corey (Horsburgh) down
- Doesn't matter who is there or not (Tapine), we don't care, doesn't change what we do
- It was a good win, but need to come back down and keep building and not get carried away, just stay humble
- Nah its been good yeah, yeah, nah everyone is good, yeah, nah, nah, its good

95% of most player's vocabularies seems to be:

- Yeah
- Nah
- The boys

and prefixing everything with 'obviously'

Given some of the questions they are asked, it's warranted.

Spot on. Chat GPT could just hand them a list of questions that would be identical or even better, and the media companies would save themselves a heap of salaries. Rugby League journos are by and large these days irrelevant and easily replaced by technology, and not a soul would miss most of them.

Careful what you wish for .
Fox Sports already uses AI for stories .

lucky we always play at night definitely helps Payne with Ramadan, the benefits of playing for a big club.

Did I hear right that Des has placed Fifita on the bench?

Honestly.....Gold Coast...!

Write that on Facebook, grab yourself a bucket of popcorn and enjoy the ride.

There are people out there who still think we have all sorts of unfair advantages.

I think somewhere it was mentioned that Souths actually have the most FTA games and Cows might have the most 7 day turnarounds, because they play on Saturdays so often

Just saw at least 20 Broncos fans getting around Kingston Foreshore for lunch. The invasion is starting haha

Makes business sense not to have every game on FTA for Broncos. Extract that bit of extra Kayo money, but just enough to keep the city hot for it.

This is a game where players might think they've won it without trying to win it (ala every Tigers game between 2018-2022)

Must be here for Skyfire

Will be interesting how the buses handle both events simultaneously.

It's going to be a shitshow. We were going to have dinner at Raku at 5:30 but decided to cancel that because of how garbage traffic/parking at the stadium will be.

Missed the first 15 mins of the last time we played them because of traffic and Skyfire wasn't on!

Fifita has had some of his best games off the bench. I don’t hate the move. He seems to go in and out of games over 80 mins

Yeah I don't hate it as long as the plan is to bring him on at 20mins mark... at times when he's started from the bench they've not brought him on until 30th minute or so... that seems too late in the piece for a guy you're paying $1m+ to
