Let Packer loose again I’d say.

The Eels will know if they have to win or not to get a top 4 spot by kick off. We’ll probably show up as it’s Benjis and Rowdy’s last game.

Honestly I don’t care if we win or not, I just hope we get Nofa however many tries he needs to finish top try scorer. For starters he deserves it and secondly it wins me about $600

 

[The Rosco]

We will more than likely lose this game.
Parra have a lot more to play for, and the refs will certainly make sure they finish top 4. Otherwise, all the dodgy 6 again calls and crusher penalties would have been wasted.
The upside is, that the Parra fans will ingest a new surge of belief.
Their mindset will be: "This is our year". "No more wooden spoons again". "35 years isn't that long". And such.
Then we have 2 full weeks of watching the crash and burn.
I was going to wish our dear friend rhyno a great off-season . . . but then realised he'll be back again straight after the WT vs Parra game.
THEN he'll disappear till 2021.

I would love us to win this game but i will settle for seeing us "legally bash" Moses and Brown all game, Matterson too.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

Guys, there maybe something at stake.

Friday night, if Knights win, well the Tigers have a chance yet again to come 9th. Typically the last round of the season there is something to play for e.g. 8th place, but they f**k it up.

Friday night, if Titans win, who cares? except the Tigers are likely to turn it on and:
Nofa becomes leading try scorer - a win for Vic M,
Rhyno can't gloat - win for Rosco and all of us.
Packer & Blore win round 2 - a win for all of us
Moses throws cut out pass over wingers head and into the stands, turns to his team mates and blames them. Priceless.

Benji & Lawrence go out winners.

I put some coin on him at 67/1 in preseason after someone mentioned the insane odds on this forum, and in true Sportsbet fashion they cancelled the market during the Covid break. merkins.

Hopefully Nof plays. Club reporting not a serious injury, but not saying if available this week or not.

On the other topic, beating Parra and seeing them drift out of the Top 4 and premiership contention would almost make this abortion of a season bearable. One can hope.

It would be nice to derail the Eels finals chances by putting them in the bottom half of the top 8. I remember deriving a great deal of pleasure from the boys denying the Bulldogs the Minor Premiership in 2009 after our finals hopes died with Shannon Gallant's leg. It was a bittersweet though seeing John Morris finally step up and be the controlling halfback we needed. A pity he didn't play like that during the 2007 and 2008 seasons.

Joey dropped? Deserves it.

 

[Rhyno]

Where are the boys going this year for mad Monday

What's the difference between them blokes and Parra ?
Most of them blokes were part of a Premiership winning team.
Edit: Rhyno, I just noticed how many posts vs likes you have.
I'm sorry for picking on you. I feel terrible.

A total dud.

We knew we were getting a rocks & diamonds player, but I was at least hoping for a few games he could help provide a bit of spark in attack, but he has shown absolutely nothing. If anything he has been more unfit and undisciplined than he has every been. Laughable after his preseason comments.

 

[benched tiger]

Parra will win through shear weight of possession aided via feigning crusher tackle injuries.
