You're full house, people are going nuts, we're playing brilliantly. I mean, what what more do you want?
Yeah, look as a footy club, um, it was a pretty proud moment to have the stadium obviously full
Why does Cameron George say the home crowd and stadium atmosphere are a key advantage?
Just the entertainment and the experience that we provided off the field and then that actually complimented what happened on the field and um, you know, we had a lot of happy people Uh, at the stadium, but also no doubt around New Zealand and Australia that watched it as well.

What are the Warriors’ goals for the remainder of the season and the finals race?
What sort of You know, uh you really gotta understand, as we all do, is that once that happens on Friday night we've got to get back to work today and and and rebuild for this week. It's such a difficult competition and you can only achieve You know, the great goals if you can just take it by week by week and and that's truly what we're focused on at the Warriors.
And uh what what's the bottom line worth? Do you keep the money? I can't remember, I ask you something.
How does the club plan to maintain momentum week‑by‑week after the big win?
Do you keep the money on the home playoff stuff or do you give it all to Peter Vlandis?
No, Peter takes it all. He's a lucky man, isn't he? Um not with the dollar at the moment, but anyway how how it is. But uh yeah, the NRL own the final, so um, you know, we work with them naturally to deliver it, but uh you know, they receive all the financial benefits.
What's the value then? It's just the home ground advantage. Getting the full house and the noise behind it.
Yeah, and there's no better advantage is there.
What financial arrangements exist for home‑playoff revenue and the NRL?
Uh being at home playing Big matches and um You know, we we we don't want to be travelling through those finals. We wanna stay here as much as we can and and that's why we need to win this week. You know, we just need to take week by week.
Yeah, I don't wanna jinx it, but the Broncos, Robados, Knights and Sea Eagles is no reason why we can't win all four, is there?
That's the intention. Um And we start today training, working and uh we we wanna win every game.
What role does Luke Metcalf play in the Warriors’ strategy for upcoming matches?
Uh we wanna be ruthless how we finish off the season and and That's uh that's our really our real intent to be honest. And um But we'll start this week in Brisbane and just deal with that and then and then worry about next week next week.
Do you want me to pass around a hat to get Luke Metcalf back? What what do we need to do about that?
Oh look, mate, we celebrated Luke the other day but um you know, all decisions are being made and we're just focused on what we can do together with Luke this year and um I hope he hope he puts his foot down um this week and and leads us, you know, to where we want to be against the Broncos.
