[This Year?]

The final Dragons gameday thread of the season will probably be a sad occasion for LU and be worthy of a Nable promo featuring a montage of Hook and Carr reactions to #dragonsfooty and screenshots of Dragons fans posts on social media.

On a sidenote: If I ever find the bunker, I'm going to bring in an opened can of Surströmming and hide it where the merkins will never find it, then piss all over the touch points. Lastly I'll leave a jar of vaso mixed with itchy powder on the bench.

 

[The Man Shake]

Knights to rest half a dozen players, so Lolmax will treat this game as his audition for Blues camp 2024 knowing Freddy will be keeping a close eye on his undeniable excellence. I mean you don't get to appear on the Matty Johns Show unless you are awesome. Dragons by 8.

In 2022 this is good banter, but since Griffin was sacked Lomax has actually been playing proper footy.

the suffering will end, and now we can laugh at other teams getting knocked out of the finals

If Dragons can't win this with half our team rested, they just shouldn't even show up to 2024

All this smug... I thought we were playing the Knights this weekend.

 

[Valheru]

Don't care who else they are resting, with Ponga out, Knights come way back to the pack.

Dragons performances have improved over the last 6 weeks and they will get a win here to finish the season.

 

[Apey]

I reckon we can still win this. Our defence should still be solid, it will be whether we can create any points or not.

Knights won quite a few to start the year without Ponga, also took full strength Penrith to golden point. Ponga definitely helps the side, but it’s not terrible without him.

But yeah, with all the other outs as well it will be tough. Dragons are our bogey team too. I think we can still win, but won’t be as convincing as it has been.

Chortle... just run plays at Feagai/Suli. If that doesn't work then Rava generally leaves space on the outside. All else fails, we're susceptible to an easy one from dummy half when "defending" our tryline.

 

[This Year?]

Marzhew, Miller and Tuala to get a try. Best and Young to get doubles.
You're welcome.

We will find a way to lose

 

[mozza91]

Battle for the ages this one. The Keith Lulia Cup has never been so hotly contested.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Knights need to bring their a-game to secure that home final. If Sharks and Canberra draw and Knights lose by 275+ then they’ll drop to 7th.

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

marzhew is going to tear us up

 

[lockyno1]

Multi time lol

Hunt any time
Best any time
Marzew any time
Sloane any time

Give me strength
