[Someone2]

Thank f**k our PD will be back in the positives

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Thank f**k our PD will be back in the positives

Your kidding yourself.

The Eels will have a negative PD all season.

You’ll be warming up the 50 thread all season. So be available.

[The Rosco]

Thank f**k our PD will be back in the positives

Shall we continue this chat next week, rhyno ?

 

[soc123_au]

Well this game should certainly be something.

 

[Vic Mackey]

There will be a bounce back from the eels and we’re certainly no storm. If we were in Melbourne yesterday every chance it’s the same scoreline.

I’d like to think with Api, Bula and Toa back we’ll look a lot better then we did v the knights. 2 extra day turn around and the eels playing on 30+ degrees sundays should help. I think the eels get Lane back but not sure if anyone else.

I’ll tip us and apologies in advance for the neutrals having to sit through it.

 

[Fangs]

Match of the round.

Sunday is going to be another scorcher. Drinks breaks needed.

 

[glockers]

I came in to see if Someone2 had already started to dribble. After all, it is the biggest week of the year for his trolling.

I was not disappointed.

 

[Bazal]

Shall we continue this chat next week, rhyno ?

Bruv you've been trolled to mania by the worst troll since Pantha Boy

And he was 9 years old

 

[This Year?]

These are the kinds of games that neutrals feast their eyes upon while the fans of both these club go through every human emotion during the course of the game.

 

[MrBlack]

Both teams overhyped through the off season.

One of them will be 0-2 after this game and looking at a long season.

 

[Comfy]

tigers by 40

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Coin toss. You would think Parra easily on paper but judging by R1, who the f**k knows.

After the past 5 years, the onus is on the Tigers to prove they are turning a corner, so I'm going Parra, with no confidence.

 

[This Year?]

I tipped the Tigers. They seem to be playing more for each other than the Eels are right now.

 

[Apey]

Tigers are probably the better team but does Commbank make a difference? No result would surprise me here.

 

[Valheru]

Coin flip

I think Tigers ultimately will have the better season in 2025 but surely Parra have a bounce back factor here. Parra by 2.

 

[Bazal]

Tigers by double digits for mine.

We looked absolutely appalling last week and this DylBro stuff won't help

 

[Vic Mackey]

Tigers by double digits for mine.

We looked absolutely appalling last week and this DylBro stuff won't help

If you think we're winning by double digits then you must think the scoreline will be 10-0 based off our attack last week

 

[Bazal]

If you think we're winning by double digits then you must think the scoreline will be 10-0 based off our attack last week

Based on our defence last week you should be easily able to get to 24 or so.

I mean we'll probably give you at least one via intercept too
