'11 | Finals Wk 2 | Sat | Broncos 13-12* Dragons | Suncorp

Just got my ticket. Hopefully someone picks up my shift for Saturday night so I can actually go.

Looking at the current ticket availability, there's little doubt his will be a sellout.

Yeh tix are selling very quick this morning. Are you in the Dragons supporters bay 332 ?

Also there is a bad flu going around. I think you might have it by the weekend and have to miss work cause you cant get out of bed.

I've actually had 3 breaks from work in the last month with repeated bouts of tonsilitis. I already have my excuse. ;-)

Interesting that they have put an away supporters bay right in the middle and labeled the one next to it as a home supporters bay. Never seen that before at Suncorp.

 

[Snappy]

I didnt notice the home supporter bay. which one is that 331 or 333 ?

I usually sit in 332 but had to get 331 for this match as some of those dragon fans cant take a loss and a few jibes to well at all.

 

[user_nat]

Actually I think I may have been misinformed. Was talking to a Dragons fan at work and they said that they couldn't get tickets right next to 332 (not sure which side) because it was a "home bay", but I can't see any evidence of that on ticketek.

Hope you are still there at fulltime if God forbid the impossible happens and the Dragons win. You know, to cop the jibes and all...

Hey, it wasn't our decision to recategorise bay 317 as Cat 2 and move the away supporters bay to 332.

And I don't take losing well at all. I'll PM you my seat number so you know which way to direct your taunts. ;-)

If that out of form team is the Dragons then yes I would not be wanting to play them if I was Manly. Backed up by the comments of two Eagles fans no less after I posed the question.
Manly know Saints can get up to play them in a big match and when their form has been down (as evidenced in Round 16 when Manly were on a hot streak and Saints were poor), Saints would outnumber Manly in support in an all Sydney final and that is not in dispute and Manly showed enough in Round 26 that they would do well against Brisbane were they to have their full compliment of players (which the did not have that night but narrowly lost). So yes, in this instance, were I Manly I would rather play the in form Broncos than the out of form Dragons.

That game in round 26 should have been 24 to nil at half time except for bad goal kicking and a bad video ref call. We didn't come out in the second half but still stopped their momentum (manly only missing 2 forwards) and win the game. Doesn't matter because the Dragons are slim to no chance of beating the Broncs so bring on Manly.

I'm quitely confident the Dragons will beat the Broncos.
Last time we played round 15 2011, the Broncos won the game with a forward pass ....remember?
Last time we played, we had B.Morris, M.Cooper, B.Scott D.Young, B. Creagh B. Hornby all out....remember?
This time it won't be the same.....you won't forget this game.

A repeat of 2009 semi with Wallace not to do his ankle again

Got a funny feeling the Dragons will get up.

Bennett just needs to utter the words..... we got this

Sure will mate. I can take some good humoured barbs at the footy, and have a laugh. After all, its just footy.
However some Red V fans Ive encounted after games at Suncorp in the past havent been so light hearted, rather very serious and unfriendly.

Please also notice in my above post I said 'some', not all.

 

[DragonPunk]

Surely we can't play like that 2nd half again..

please.

Dragons by 2.

Yeah, and all Broncos fans can take a loss and some good humoured jibes with a laugh and a smile:sarcasm:

 

[Snappy]

Im sure they cant, just like not all Dragons fans (or any team for that matter) can, but some are fine as I have said. I sure you can understand though why I wouldnt want to sit in my usual section, when for this game its the away supporters bay.

Every clubs fanbase has its fair share of f**kwits, most of the time it comes back to bite them.

Where's Gaba this year? I blame him for our downfall.

He ran out of game plans.

 

[Saints fan]

Hopefully it will be a similar result to week one of the finals in 2006.
