Yay @Bazal’s favourite game of the year!

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

please footy gods have some justice and let rorters lose, and AJ beat the record

This is the first I'm hearing of it, anyone major?

It started in 71 with John Sattler and has continued all the way to future immortal Jacob Host.

 

[Bazal]

Yay @Bazal’s favourite game of the year!

Bruv you didn't even tag me right, you're going in the Book of Squabbles (not to be confused with the fake Book of Feuds they're not even related ok)

 

[Fangs]

Very important match.

Roosters win and secure a top 8 finish. But huge pressure on with the Dolphins able to steal their spot.

You'd think a Roosters win. But its Souths in a Derby. Strange things can happen.

Injuries!

Fox Sports reporting Latrell Mitchell has picked up a back injury and won't play on Friday.

[Vic Mackey]

Shocked to hear Latrell is out, guy hates playing these days. Probably not a bad thing for souths, every chance hed get himself suspended for the start of next year if he did. Hard to see anything other then an Easts win, wouldnt surprise if they pile it on. Hopefully Johnson doesnt score a double in junk time.

Excessive fat is not an injury!

 

[Saxon]

Souths to throw everything including the kitchen sink at the Roosters in the hope of tripping them up.
I reckon Chooks win and Souths get a couple of sin bins and maybe a send off.

 

[Det.Wojciehowicz]

Someones jealous that Crapamatta don't have a feud with anyone. No team could be bothered feuding with the Wooden Spoon Kings.

Thank you for your continued interest in the Parramatta Eels.

 

[Det.Wojciehowicz]

Don't despair. Maybe one day you'll be relevant enough for another club to consider you a worthy opponent. Probably gonna take some time though.

 

[yobbo84]

It's games like this I miss Taane Milne

 

[Bazal]

Lol Parramatta are never going to be relevant we're far too bald and broken, why do fans of other clubs think we feel any different?

That said at least our rivalries are born from reality, and salary cap cheating. Not a marketing team like this one.

 

[Det.Wojciehowicz]

Hahaha I think you need to study up on your League history. To say the Souths/Roosters rivalry was created by a marketing team is a truly moronic statement (even for an Eels fan)

Isaiah Tass will play game no. 23 for the season on Friday. Latrell has played 22 games in 2 years. That's where Souths are at.
