Oh boy. This is going to be ugly.

Glad I’ve got great seats to witness this car crash.

We are going to be missing Munster, Kafausi, Welch, Finucane, Addo-Carr and Chambers

Will level the field a fair bit you’d think!

Seriously though. Your depth is much better than ours. And we will be missing at minimum hunt, frizell and Vaughan, plus likely Tariq sims and an outside chance of Norman and Korbin Sims.

Add that to injuries to Widdop, Lafai and Lomax plus the JDB fiasco, our shallow depth is going to struggle.

If you want an example, Lachlan Maranta has played first grade the last two weeks.

And we’ll be missing Frizell, Vaughan, Simms, Hunt as well as Widdop, De Berlin, Lomax, Graham not to mention we also have McGregor as coach!!!

 

[Hutty1986]

I'd rather f**king not.

 

[jargan83]

Storm by a million after we get an early penalty and lead 2-0

 

[This Year?]

I can't believe all the Storm favoritism.

Bellamy will not know how to deal with our superstars Aitken, Maranta, Ravalawa and Latimore in front of the masses of loud and proud supporters in the fortress by the sea on the best day of the week to watch rugby league, not to mention the unpredictable and master tactition McGregor.

Saints 13+ is the only possible outcome I can predict with any confidence.

I want some of what you’ve taken.

Couldn’t agree more.
Dragons 76
Storm 1.
Bromwich field goal just before full time to stop the clean sheet against us.

In all seriousness I hope we manage to somehow stay within 30-40.

I've taken quite a liberal dose of Sheldon Cooper's sarcasm tonic.

Game day threads involving the Dragons are the best. Full of Dragon supporters taking the piss out of their team. I come here for the lol's.

If we don't laugh, we cry

 

[This Year?]

The build up to this game is grand final like. I can already imagine the giant flags and banners in Crown street mall, Steelers club and outside win stadium.
Players will be settling their pre game nerves doing appearances at schools, shopping centres and the local radio station.
#excited

 

[JB04]

I dead set think dragons supporters are the funniest bunch on here. Sorry, but storm by 8

I heard that the local police have called in extra staff from other LACs to ensure they have enough police to handle the record breaking crowd that is expected to descend on Wollongong.

Riot squads, dog squads. The works.

And that’s just for the training session on Tuesday.

Don’t be sorry. That’s a dream result.

Widdop
Debelin

All out. I'm actually looking forward to seeing a new team. Granted my enthusiasm will probably only last until the 2nd tackle, but still...

I will be doing Bellamy impersonations with every missed tackle, error, poor defensive read, hitup with no support, poor kick, penalty conceded, Storm try, and Storm goal. The blood pressure at full time will be a medical record.
