Agree. Worst week for us to play the dragons with the outcry at their last two outings. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a slaughter.

Yeah boooiii. 3 metre shuffles from dummy half comin at ya!

I honestly hope that it lives up to the game it should be.

As hard as it was losing last years GF qualifier by a point it was a cracker of a game just as the 2005 semi was between the sides.

 

[Vic Mackey]

I'm not gunna lie. The 2005 semi final just pips my threesome with Scarlett johansson and Mila kunis as the best night of my life.

I had better google these young ladies for research purposes.

In all serious, Young back is a boost, but only because Fien is a great impact player to have coming off the bench.

Very nervous about this one. Should be a great game though.

 

[bottle]

People might undervalue Young's contribution, but he is great for us defensively. Particularly so around the ruck and when we are under the pump. His knees are f**ked but his motor is big. We have missed him over the past fortnight and consequently have been loose around the ruck where both Buttriss and Luke have hurt us. Farah will do the same in latter stages of the game if we repeat that mistake.

 

[ceagle]

It will be close most of the game, but the Steelers will pull away down the stretch.

The stats I saw today suggest the Dragons struggle when it comes to dummy half runs - no surprise given how many different players have worn the #9 jumper over the past ten weeks.

With Young back I think they're a much more solid team.

 

[God-King Dean]

Yeah boooiii. 3 metre shuffles from dummy half comin at ya!

:lol:

 

[innsaneink]

[Whoosh]

I think the Dragons will be ready to hit back against the Tigers. Saints by 7.

Yes lets not forget the Soward penchant for field goals

 

[MSIH]

I'm looking forward to the part where one side loses.

 

[dangerousdave]

Should be a cracker. Dragons by 6

 

[Tiger Hawk]

Cooper, Creagh & Boyd targetting Lui, you'd think it won't end well for the Tigers. Huge responsibility on Ayshford & Fulton (or Ellis if they swap) to cover for him this week.

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

Run at Lui, kick to Moltzen.

Not tough....
