[Ruby Roundhouse]

lets make it 3 in a row

 

[Vic Mackey]

Meant to be torrential rain in the gong on Friday which brings us back into it. Hopefully we’re due a few players back and that Hunt, Sua, Lomax get banged up on Wednesday

 

[RedVDave]

2 players with same name on different teams playing against each other, when was last time this would of happened?

 

[This Year?]

Finau and Fainu to confuse the f**k out of the commentators.

 

[Bazal]

Finau and Fainu to confuse the f**k out of the commentators.

Nah it's easy.

Fainu will be the one stabbing blokes.

Game of the round easily. Chaos by 50 points

There'll be more chaos than an incel in the women's clothing section of a department store.

 

[Marshall_magic]

My god that team sheet is grim. Good thing I’ve taken the chaos approach to our football over the past few years.

 

[westerntiger]

This game has Dan Ginnane written all over it.

 

[Sans Souci Saint]

Finau and Fainu to confuse the f**k out of the commentators.

That Tigers team looks like you’ve opened a box of Scrabble after 8 beers and a couple of whiskeys.

 

[Bazal]

This game has Dan Ginnane written all over it.

GOODBYE

Well we do have 8/9 of our top 17 out

Staines marking Suli is frightening

Our wingers are 195cms each and both 10cms taller than their opposites. I look forward to us not putting up a single bomb in the whole game.

Staines as centre is interesting, for a bloke called the Ferrari he has no confidence in his pace on the wing. Suli against him is very scary though, Suli takes dumps bigger than Staines.

One of them is Alex Lobb, ex Dragon, getting his first start, good kid.
When are you going to unleash that 131 kg giant from the KOE cup Magpies, Jordan Miller ? Not Friday night I hope.

Dragons should win this but Api, Galvin, Olam and Bula are dangerous if Wests get the upper hand. The ref is Chris Butler who gave Wests a good run for their upset win against the Sharkies, that's a worry.

millers miles off first grade

if you need to go back 11 weeks to find us getting a good run from the ref I think that says everything you need to know

 

[JamesRustle]

If Suli and Luc can pretend their fingers aren't dicks for 80 minutes, they will carve up the Tigers.

Dragons by 2 though.

 

[GongPanther]

A shot for every time we hear "the rain is coming down hard at the moment...it's relentless!".

 

[Someone2]

Dragons by 10

 

[OzDragon]

This will unironically be a better game than Origin

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

I think we will score 50
