I bet no one pencilled this on the calendar as a can't miss, top 4 clash lol.

Looking forward to this one already.

Both teams playing good attacking football. KPP will be out to prove a point!

What point would that be? It's not like we did anything wrong by him. We just had a coach that didn't know how to use him properly and he's not here anymore

Not in any bad way but I'm sure he would want to show what he was actually capable of. What a waste of talent he was here.

Crap! While scrolling down the screen, my finger pushed Wests to win 1-12. How can I change this to Newcastle 1-12?

You've doomed us!

Side selected is basically what the majority thought.
Congats to DeCourcey hope he does well.
Always a few not so happy selections, Cant seems odd but he does cover a few positions rather than specialising in one.
Thought moving DeCourcey up would have meant bringing in the likes of McCarthy as cover at 19 .
Just hope the effort remains which will mean the result could be ours, big game this, win means we are well up and have some top players to return but they will take a few weeks to come back

 

[Nuke]

lol you can change it now if you like

Done. Thankyou!

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

I swear these threads were more active when we were shit

 

[Zoidberg]

We ready?

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Boys are looking confident

 

[perverse]

I still don't trust em. I wish I could but I can't. Hoping for the best today. I think we can beat them.

 

[perverse]

Can't get away with that in first grade, Wilson.

 

[Zoidberg]

Danger signs with DeCourcey.

 

[Alex28]

It was 4 on 1 on the wing. They have to be a bit more alert than that…

 

[Woody90]

That was all on De Coursey. Not surprising given it’s only his 2nd game.

 

[Haffa]

Not one chaser
