2018 R23 Sat - Wests Tigers 10-20 Dragons @ Leichhardt

[This Year?]

They are 4 points ahead of the 9th team with 3 to play. They could miss the 8. The only teams that cannot possibly miss the 8, short of points being docked, are the top 2.

There is a surfeit of scenarios regarding top 8. It's pretty exciting when you think about it. Teams coming 10-16 are mathematically out of it which is sad. Usually there are 2 or 3 teams battling for 8th.

I would have used "plethora".

Sexually Transmitted Infection Dingo?

Stupid Till I Die was my interpretation.

A job in the Telecrap awaits. Although they seem to have no trouble coming up with appalling headlines as it is.

On the front page in red block letters "Free toilet paper between the first and last pages!"

I think mathematically Saints can’t drop out of the 8.

Maybe win the game first or at least check your facts first before talking smack.

8 or so weeks ago the talk was ‘stick a fork in the Top 8, it’s done, the gap to team 9 is too big’. And just like that we feel compelled to make a run for 9th place. Ahhh, Dragons footy.

And year after year we trick ourselves believing this will be the year it changes.

No other team is coached by McGregor though either.

What share of the blame should Mary take? The team must step up surely.

Quite a bit actually. Poor performing players don’t continually choose themselves. Selecting players on the bench & playing them for 10 token minutes doesn’t aid preparation. Not too mention injured players not being given a rest.
A good coach....... never mind.

It must be frustrating for him seeing players who shone earlier in the season turning into duds.

Dragons by 18

Not as frustrating as it is for the fans watching a repeat of the same sh*t show year after year.

Dragons paying $26 to miss the 8.

That’s quite tempting

Good coaches don{t let it happen

Sweet got my tickets. Very rare we play Sydney teams at Leichhardt. I think dragons will turn up for some reason don't like playing teams after they have been smashed the week before.

Think it's the first time we've played saints at leichhardt since the blacklock 80th min try. Cant wait

Paul Green must have over achieved then.

I think Dragons will win big here. Now that they're basically expected to lose I think they can get atleast one last win for the season here.

Tigers are destined to just miss out. Too many people want to see them replace Broncos. Footy gods are not that kind.
