Now I'm not sure if you knew about Ronnie's ACL or you saw Stonestreet named over him and just though 'yeah that looks right'

I knew about "his" ACL, was just a few weeks ago, I'm not that bad haha.

But during internationals! So wasn't sure you were paying enough attention or not haha

Also, we have a new coach in Craig Fitzgibbon and a big signing in Nicho Hynes - who apparently is coming over to play 5/8!

Can you please start the round 2 game day thread a bit earlier next week to give us a bit more time for pregame discussions?

I'm already nervous.

30+ walk in the park. Practically around one bye.

We always lose our first game.

I was actually enjoying the off-season, relaxing, getting my heart in check. Then I saw this post, my heart started pounding again. Cold sweats. I was triggered.

Apart from Vegas and Fitzy’s first game getting Covid I forget round one pretty quick. That sounds about right though. The only round one record that I really know of is Craig Bellamy’s. Good luck Parramatta.

Bellamy surely has to lose one - down a few troops and if Moses plays - this could be the one ..

**** me.

The Gold Coast will have six name changes before this game kicks off.

My heart monitor is in for repair over the off season
They say they need 3-4 months to get it ready for a new season

That’s what you think……

Barring injuries, it's almost an easy one to predict. Billy Burns and BHU probably the only ones I'm not sure where Fitz will put them.
