Surely the Bunnies turn up for this. It is literally do or die at this point. 8th is theirs for the taking, they just have to give half a f**k.

 

[mozza91]

Worried what the pube collector will do to get Souths over the line. I still have flashbacks of him penalising us and sin binning Fitzgibbon for getting headbutted and punched by a Burgess a few years ago.

My score prediction:

 

[Someone2]

Souths by 16

 

[yobbo84]

How the hell are we favourites

 

[Apey]

How the hell are we favourites

Probably because people think we're both due. Us for a loss and you guys for a good performance. We will most likely be without Hastings as well. But yeah its one of a few tough games to tip this round.

It's wishful thinking. We've been poo for 3 months now. I can't see us winning at a packed stadium in Newy.

bloody well hate Newcastle...... but they're playing with passion and playing at home, end of year they'll get up, you cant deny they've turned the corner.

We've also turned the corner, but keep turning the corner back to where we started.

I say you guys are even worse than where you started

Nah, we've made the slightest of progress this year. It's very small, but it's a beginning.

I love how the quality of this image is degrading over time, lol. The photobucket watermark is a nice touch.

I was holding the @ (not my sign, just helping... although it was another LU member that made it), and seeing this pic always takes me back. Great game the be at. Would be nice to repeat the dose on Sunday. Been too long since i had a good lol@50uffs.

I was at that game. It was not fun to be at, the drive home sucked and Raymond Terrace Maccas was closed on the way home. Boooooo.

 

[yobbo84]

As for tomorrow, Tatola and Sele are back so we're basically full strength minus Tom Burgess, and Hastings is out. Absolutely zero excuses to play crap.

I mean we probably will, but we have no excuses.
