Eels by 6 bankwest FX accounts

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Sink or swim moment for Parra here. Back2back losses could see them lose all the confidence they built up in the opening rounds and eventually slip out of the 8. A decent Bankwest crowd will see them home I reckon.

 

[This Year?]

lol@saints round is early this season. I've already got a carton of beer ready to drown my sorrows. Congrats Eels,

 

[thommo4pm]

I’ve got a bad feeling of a similar score to late last year is on the cards. Parra were always going to be flat yesterday.
They’ll bounce back this week.

 

[OzDragon]

We never seem to play well against the Peels.

Not confident at all.

[Life's Good]

Mary started Ravalawa on the bench last game because he needed a rest. A few weeks ago Lomax came off the bench to play in the middle to give the forwards a rest. What’s in store for us this week?
Tune in on Sunday folks to see the next instalment of ‘I’m a coach but the fans want me outta here’.

 

[GongPanther]

Another full house at Wank Fest Stadium will see Parra lose their first match at this historical grand old girl. Dragons by 44-4.

 

[footy75]

Hard to pick this. Gona go Parra with no real confidence.

 

[jargan83]

Two words for all of you.

Dragons Footy.

 

[Das Gupta]

Saints by a couple. Paul Crawley to have a hard on about the Eels not re-signing Gutherson and Arthur.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Corey Norman to destroy his former plodding teammates

 

[SBD82]

Lomax finally named in the centres. Hopefully he shows us what he can do.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Saints would have beaten most other teams last week, thought it was their best performance of the year. Bit of a reality check for Parra last week, they’re doing well without the two Browns but don’t it they’ll be good enough this week. Dragons by 8

 

[JamesRustle]

Dragons 31-8.
Lomax to score 30 of the Dragons points.

 

[jargan83]

Dragons 31-8.
Lomax to score 30 of the Dragons points.

And then gets dropped the following week by our glorious super coach.

No way.

This, being McGregor's 121st game as head coach in the NRL, will be his breakout game. He will realise his errors of the past and start to use his full bench in rotations, blood quality youngsters, drop rubbish players. Basically I'm saying he will start taking a bit of direction from the sage contributors on LU.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Does he still come out with the old "they scored their tries from kicks" during the pressers after a loss?

Setting yourself up for disappointment.
