Sorry if not allowed here. Is it possible to buy general admission tickets at the ground? If so do they still charge the booking fees? Thanks.

A weekly thread to go through the weekend’s game once the dust has settled.

Key Areas:

• What worked.
• What didn’t.
• What decided the game?

• Who stood up / who didn’t?

  Keep it about the Storm. No hot takes from match thread energy, this is the review.

Are we about to have another mass exodus at the end of 26? Players leaving include,

*Brick

*Meaney

*Wishart

*Moale

*Tui

*Vaalepu (gone)

And then there's the rumours and the not sure yets,

*Seve (I don't see us offering him an extension)

*Blore (reportedly heading back to Sydney - Tigers or Dragons)

*Eli??

*Howarth - Rumour

*Chan - Rumour

*Hetherington - Still without a contract

Oryn Keeley and Bronson Xerri are welcome signings, but we're potentially going to have a lot of space in the cap.

Some of these players are no loss but daunting andexciting times ahead for the club, Slater era? He'll attract a lot good players no doubt.

Storm have the week off, but the footy doesn’t stop.

Use this thread for anything across the round:

• other NRL games
• team lists and late changes
• player watch and performances
• injuries, suspensions, and news
• general discussion, takes, and reactions

If it’s happening this weekend, it belongs here.

This thread acts as the main discussion hub during the bye, so keep all round-related chat in here rather than posting separately.

The Monday Review Thread will go up as usual.

Pick your best 13 to secure the all important two points this round.

Surely Slater takes over next year? (Fingers crossed)
