I feel sorry for anyone who got up to watch the game not in QLD, It's a well timed public holiday up here today.

Jokes on you Mondays are my day off anyway

how Carl Veart was ever in consideration is mind boggling.

I think it's because Monty got a red card so he was ruled out. Carl knows it was a hollow victory

So does the trophy come home with the playing group in economy or with Rich in first class?

Wonder if Rich sprung to buy the starting team first class seats back

Surely that would deserve an email

RB to step up and blow Sydney away. Di Piz has gone up a level lately and is crucial to the next 3 games.
Over the last 10 games when these two have come on the team has lifted. Di Piz getting a start due to this.

Huge shout out to the whole club. I dont know how they are still winning and achieving results after such a mammoth season. I am still worn out from football and havent played since Covid.

Hope Di Pizio is ok. Seemed to get stuck in the grass and jar himself. Probably doubtful for Friday and maybe even longer. He played well last night.

I said to a mate at Wednesdays game I have a feeling Ronnie will play a big part in the outcome of our season - he looks be be getting to grips with the team and getting comfortable. It always takes a few months, and I tip him for a big finals series.

Ronnie reminds me of going to coles on a cold winter night and the body is stiff the way he walks but he certainly has Brazilian feet. Great touch. Needs a week at @Wombat massage to straighten him out and he can get caught with the ball but against a packed defence his movement and control are very good.

Well good for you.

Yep good for us , those noisy pricks building the cross river rail ain’t in the pit 🥳

Ronnie and Doka have this funny looking tight hamstring run. But as you say, gees they have beautiful footwork.

If he has a good lawyer and isn't committed to stand trial, do we get Torres back for Friday?
Serious Q. If there are no charges his ban would be lifted wouldn't it?

I'm not sure I'd want him back, the team look happier and seem to gel better without him.

Damn hard getting up for work at 6am this morning, I look like shit but can't stop smiling. So proud of my beloved Mariners!

So so proud of this team. Well done to everyone involved. I had to wipe away tears this morning. I'm hoping we win the Grand Final but if we don't it's still been an extraordinary season.

Domestic and continental silverware in the same season has not been done before.

We are already winners then
