:lol: It won't matter who we beat, jealous tosser opposition fans will still have a big cry about it.

"Oh they had 8 players out"

"The coach had a cold"

"Soward has nicer boots than my teams 5/8th"

Still plenty of improvement to come.

 

[Ribs]

His best one so far was undermining our effort against the Eagles at Brookvale.

It went something like Hasler really had the sh*its after the loss so it means nothing.

Quali....................................ty.

:lol::lol: It's so hard to pick a favourite out of all the non-biased, wonderfully researched posts...

Origin report !

Dragons: Cooper (safe to say Gaz won't be playing either).

Tits: Prince, Bailey, Laffranchi, Harrison.

Dragons FTW

As much as you Dragons fans want to say that other fans are a bunch of bitches. You have to admit that you have had a charmed run through origin.
Storm before Origin 1 missing half their team
Broncos Origin 2 missing half their team
Titans Origin 3 missing the nucleus of their team.

I think its fair to say that at full strength the first two of those teams would have given it to you and the Titans at full strength at home would have been a daunting task.

Not bitching, good luck to you guys. In the NRL you need all the help you can get but someone in charge of the schedule has been very kind to you this year.

Storm before Origin 1 missing half their team
Melbourne were missing plenty yes, they're blessed with their talent and it's unfortunate. St Geo-Illa were also without Gasnier, Cooper and Hornby - probably three of their best.
Broncos Origin 2 missing half their team
Half? Please. Hunt, Hannant, Hodges... who else of note? Boyd? Thaiday? That's hardly "half" when Saints had three of their own missing, plus Sailor missing half the game.
Titans Origin 3 missing the nucleus of their team
Clutching at straws. Your mob has just beaten them at full strength.

Outside backs are easier to cover than halves.

Broncos also missing Wallace and Lockyer through injury. Take the halves out of any team and they struggle

Titans are poo away from home and even more poo without Prince.

Broncos haven't beaten us in something like 3 or 4 years and we started extremely well in that match. Storm, huge bogey team, fair call, but we still played well that night as well.

And Bailey was going to be injured for this game no matter what anyway.
But you're definitely right mate, it's been a good draw at this time of year.

Put it this way. If I picked up the draw at the start of they year and found South's were playing Bronco's, Strom and Titans in origin week's I'd be pretty happy about it. I'm cheering we've got Nth Qld this week without Thurston, I was also pretty happy to play Storm and Titans around origin time just because I know that the blokes playing origin wouldn't have had their head in the right place. I think it was fairly evident with Prince last night.

 

[God-King Dean]

Roudn 19 against the Storm @ Melbourne will best reveal how we're travelling.

 

[Eelectrica]

Dragons have the Titans number, even at full strength.
Going to be a quiet Saturday night at Skilled I think.
Go Titans anyway.

 

[Coaster]

It wont be quiet, no matter what. In fact if they play like last night, i dare say it will be louder then any game at skilled.

Only saints and Manly left for us to beat since we came back, Manly we have only played once, Saints on the other hand, have already spoiled our first game back, and seem to have the wood on us.

Will take a massive turn around in form for us to even stay in this one, but wont stop me supporting them.

Should be a good crowd again

hope the Titans win. A bit sick of this charmed run the dragons are enjoying, including from the referee last friday night

LOL charmed run. Your team led 12-0, it's their fault they didn't go on with it-end of story.

Are you bitter about Penrith losing or Melbourne.

You got a sweet ride through origin...reality will hit if you make the finals.
