[This Year?]

If Saints lose this game Cookie, Val, Gutho and Ilias will go from preseason heroes to regular season zeros and I'll be saltier than the dead sea.

 

[JamesRustle]

Flanno Jnr and the rest of the team will be rubbing deep heat on their snoz's pre game, to ward off those filthy merkins in blue and white from their depraved urgings to suck on noses.

Dragons to thump last seasons over achievers.

 

[Valheru]

Dragons in a bit of an ambush

 

[Vic Mackey]

Buying into trial form will see a simailr result to tipping the warriors over raiders. I listened to Willie Mason during the week who said Wayne Bennett cared less about trials then any coach he had, wouldnt even give them a gameplan, so not putting much emphassis on the Charity Sheild.

Dogs have gone the small pack again with no props on the bench. Might work against Saints whos middle is grose but think they'll need some big boppers on the bench sooner rather then later. Saints seem to have a lot of good vibes, ceraintly patting themselves on the back alot early. They have 3 home games to start the year and youd think would want to win 2 of them. Ive tipped Dogs more on faith then anything.

Berries by 8.

Tipped Dragons. They usually start well.
