[Valheru]

St George have a pretty epic record against manly but it's impossible to pick them at the moment.

St George have a pretty epic record against manly but it's impossible to pick them at the moment.

Whilst She-Bald is in charge, anything is possible. At home and after being belted over the weekend, Merge will bounce back...

 

[Woody90]

Manly comfortably.

 

[This Year?]

A week in the life of a Dragons fan:
MONDAY - Look at the preview for the next game and feign mild shock that your team aren't favourites. Check the specials on Dan Murphy's. Create a new twitter account and send a post to Buzz that you're an anonymous rugby league player wanting out of the Dragons.
TUESDAY - Check the 4pm email from the club and wonder how the 18 plodders named are earning up to 20x what you earn a week. Take a cock pic and caption it "it's like looking into a mirror" and email it to James Hooper under the subject check out this scoop.
WEDNESDAY- Log onto rugby league socials and get into some banter with other supporters while wondering why the f**k your psychiatrist has cancelled the weekly session...again.
THURSDAY - Google Greg Alexander's address and send him a pair of Dragons branded sunglasses. Watch the game and wonder what you have done to deserve to listen to stutter-Cronk and Moikoil Oinois.
FRIDAY - Pray to the footy gods that you can celebrate a win while checking the real estate sales in Blakehurst. Check the Dragons website hourly for any announcements.
GAMEDAY - Drink as much alcohol as humanly possible throughout Super Saturday and shitpost in the gameday threads while watching your team get thrashed like a 90's metal band. Take a shot everytime Vossy makes a reference to Dragons fans.
SUNDAY - Watch the Sunday games and wince whenever Dan Ginnane's shouting amplifies the hangover headache. Complain to anyone who'll listen (or won't) about how shit being a Dragons supporter is, then try not to get offended when the Tigers fan calls you a narcissist, the Eels fan says 2010 must have been almost 40 years ago and the Raiders fan gives you a blank stare.

Su'A is back, so hope to see some good edge running

On that note, Manly by 30.

 

[This Year?]

Watching 4 players singing Backstreet Boys is more tragic than their "defence".
Just when you think they've hit rock bottom they find a way to fall even further.
It smells like Newtown and tastes like crown lager. Can't even get 10k to it's 1st home game for the season and everyone takes the piss out of the joint.

 

[SBD82]

Dear Turbo,

Please remember that I love you.

Be gentle.

Dear Turbo,

Please remember that I love you.

Be gentle.

He hasn't done a hammy for weeks....about due.

 

[SBD82]

He hasn't done a hammy for weeks....about due.

Nah.

He’ll do it just before Origin so that he’s unavailable.

That way I get even less enjoyment from rugby league.

It’s the life of a Dragons supporter.

 

[GongPanther]

Dragons 22-16.

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

f**k manly, we got this!

 

[This Year?]

Game day!

Time to show some pride in the jersey. Need to tighten up the middle and go hard for the full 80. Need lots of ball movement to blow them away. If not, then we must put pressure and camp on their end.
If we get turned over we have to show them we aren't a bottom side, even if we have to come over them from behind.
Let's go Saints!

 

[JamesRustle]

Hoping for a kick in the balls... Expecting a ruptured testicle and penile cancer.

Manly by 16

 

[Grapple]

I think both teams will score at some stage, Sloan, Turbo or Garrick even.
Likely Hunt will kick the ball and Lomax will be involved. DCE will pass it often and they will carry it well from dummy half through the interchange forwards.
Likely will be a penalty for offside.
First team to score will score again.

 

[KOMORI]

It’s a lovely looking ground this one. Looks to be in superb condition for what is hopefully a good game of footy…

Do you got time machine bro?
