It would be a humiliating failure for Ricky.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Nah, we went from 10th to 2nd. Even if we go out in straight sets most Raiders fans would be happy with how we went. Flanno is already an embarrassment.

 

[carcharias]

He learnt from the best ey?

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Yeah Flanno's a disgrace to the game TBH.

Not the Broncos who were beaten 40-10 by the Dogs, 31-12 by us and 32-16 by the Roosters (who ran 15th). Or the Storm who lost to the Broncos in round 25. Or the Sharks who were beaten by the bloody Dragons? Then there's the Dogs who have been easybeats for the last month. I think you should pull your head out of your arse champ.

You lost to them as well

 

[TheFrog]

You lost to them as well

Yes I know that, but it was round 4 IIRC and by 2 points. Not a good performance that day though.

I think you should learn how to differentiate between self imploding and being out of form before posting your quasi intelligent froth. Champ.

Nice try.
Follow your own advice gimboid because noone else gives a flying f**k about your dribble.

how's this:
A miserable flog with a persecution complex and the footy intelligence of a fire hydrant.

You're not worth the effort.

 

[shark dressed man]

Raiders will put a score on us.

 

[Card Shark]

That's ok, as long a we put a larger score in them, which we will!

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Sounds uncomfortable.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Potentially no Gallen makes it tough for the Sharks.

I think the Raiders pack will bully them if he doesn't play.

true, Cronulla have the big game experience. Gallen isn't playing either so meddling will be kept to a minimum.

but whatever may have happened earlier in the season, or even last week counts for nothing now. new season and it's all about how the teams turn up on the day..............................oh and how the refs and bunker decide to f**k up the game.

Has gallen been officially ruled out? Unless his back is broken in 97 places I'd expect he'll play.

Officially out.

I'd speculate for reasons other then injury (with no facts other then he normally plays busted anyway).

Ah, scared of Papa.

 

[Paullyboy]

He's a nuffie anyway, but good to know there's slightly less chance of one of our players being taken out by dirty play

 

[Walt Flanigan]

They'll probably be better without Gallen there to stifle their attack.

 

[carcharias]

You blokes who think Gallen being out is not a monumental blow are either
Lying

geniused
Or lying about being geniused
