Round 20 - TLT Mighty Eels v Gareth's Dragons

[Poupou Escobar]

Why are Merge favourites?

I think they're fair odds. They're at home and have the revenge factor going for them.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

What a sack of miserable merkin fans. They should take a leaf out of our book and be much more positive!

We had one bad season and merkins decided running last was the typical season for a Brad Arfur's-coached team. Short f**king memories.

 

[hineyrulz]

you're naked and drunk when you're at home what's the difference?

And very poor let’s not forget that.

 

[Glenneel]

I only saw one, I also saw both he and Guth go for the same bomb and nearly f**ked it, Guth pulled out and he accelerated and took it in the finger tips, the kid done good

I thought he did pretty well for a kid in his second game, he is not Fergo and I think you have been pretty tough on him

Fergo, for all his experience, still has brain explosions so can't be too critical of him except in defence. I'll say it again, STAY ON YOUR WINGER, let your centre take care of his opposite.

Not making the finals is more typical of BA coached teams.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We would've made the finals two years in a row if we weren't caught cheating in 2016. If we win more than half our games this year that will be three out of six seasons where Brad Arthur has done so.

So you’re saying a typical BA season is a 50/50 shot at finals! We’re a shoe in this season with those odds

I used to think the same, but I don't think its that easy. I think they try to shut the play down before the winger gets isolated one on one. With wingers being so big, with all the foward momentum and so adept at finishing off plays with only the smallest of margins, teams try to shut down plays before getting into that position. Even if it means they might concede an easy try every now and then.

Literally everyone is tipping the Dragons.

Absolutely. Teams don't play the same defensive system as they did back in the day.

 

[Happy MEel]

Absolutely. Teams don't play the same defensive system as they did back in the day.

Agreed, but there are absolutely times when wingers come in for no reason. Parry did it twice when he shouldn’t have on the weekend.

f*ck the DragQueens

There's definitely a reason. He just f**ked the timing.

 

[Happy MEel]

There's definitely a reason. He just f**ked the timing.

The reason was he was inexperienced and didn’t listen to his centre. Blake had his man covered and let Parry know about it too.

f*ck the DragQueens

Well if that’s your thing..........
