[This Year?]

Wouldn't it be funny if...

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Hide your garden chairs

 

[BadnMean]

How do Sheen and Ricky, the masterminds behind one of the greatest attacking machines ever to grace a paddock end up coaching two teams who play so badly they make you want to poke your eyes out with broken chicken bones?

 

[Chief_Chujo]

Starling dropped for Trev and Croker with a sudden mystery hamstring injury that moves Kris back to centre. Looking forward to the game a lot more now, just a shame Savage is injured.

 

[Leber]

Hopefully the ref scores alot of tries for the Tigers in this game.

 

[skeepe]

If Savage was available, him in for Hoppa and that's exactly what I was calling for last week. Well played, Stick.

 

[yobbo84]

Go the Tigers!

 

[Chief_Chujo]

Hopefully the ref scores alot of tries for the Tigers in this game.

Why the hate bro?

 

[Leber]

Why the hate bro?

Teams slightly below my team losing is good for my team.

 

[GongPanther]

WTF happened to the Raiders last week? They'll bounce back with a big win.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

BYC with PTSD avoiding the tigers again.

 

[Fangs]

Good F/A boost for the Raiders in this one.

 

[BadnMean]

Good F/A boost for the Raiders in this one.

I think our F/A is beyond redemption at this point.

We haven't beaten a team by >10 all season. I think our average winning margin is something like 5.5 points.

Ahh the Alan Jones affect.

Better attack last year but things can change quickly. 100 point turn around between Raiders and Broncos saw them make the 8.

Though I think a top 4 spot is a much harder ask. Warriors have a soft run home and look guaranteed 3rd. You'd need to beat the Storm, keep winning other games and even then have to deal with the F/A.

If Canbruh can't win this....

 

[Vic Mackey]

Thought we went ok against souths last week. You always feel you’re a chance against the raiders. We only lost by 1 last time without Api and Raiders awarded a try that Annesly confirmed shouldn’t have been.

If Stef and Blore were there we’d be right in this. Lauries gone good at 5/8 and happy to see Matamua finally back. Raiders to be way too wacky and get up by 8 textas.

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

I love my sunday footy

 

[footy75]

Wouldn't it be funny if...

Was honestly thinking the same thing. Surely not.

 

[Valheru]

One of the 2 underdogs will win today, both the favourites have shock losses at home in them. Odds suggest this is the more likely one.
