[Redvdragons21]

Parra by 20. Saints have checked out. Hopefully Flanno gets sacked

 

[This Year?]

Below is a visual representation of both sets of fans:

 

[Fangs]

Get excited Dragons fans. You're about to secure your first win of the season.

 

[Bazal]

Eels fans all week

Dragons fans all week

 

[Trifili13]

Eels fans all week

Dragons fans all week

That's Dragon's fans 24/7, 365 days a year and 366 during leap years.

 

[Eelectrica]

If nothing else chaos will be the winner and a win for chaos is a win for everyone.

 

[Vic Mackey]

This reminds me of last years game after Parra had had a poor start with some unlucky losses, came up against Saints and were just more desperate for the W. Roles reversed this time around. Liddle is a huge in, his running game should cause plenty of havoc with the new set restarts. Gutho to bring back the Gutherino. Saints by 8.

 

[This Year?]

Coming from behind, JDB will kick the field goal sense his opportunity to have a go, diving under some tired forwards to get his team out of trouble.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

The Dargons to continue their 100% record for the season.

 

[Someone2]

Eels by 30

 

[JamesRustle]

Hoping Flanno's first 60 min team does enough to beat Ryles' last 60 min team. Surely Parra's last 20 mins isn't as devastating as the Storms or Phins.

Dragons 34, Parra 31.

 

[Redvdragons21]

Parra by 60

 

[Bazal]

I hope Gutho is at peak Gunco levels today

 

[This Year?]

I'm not this enough for drunk. Shane looks and sounds tired.

 

[Diesel]

Time to boo JDB

 

[lockyno1]

I'm not this enough for drunk. Shane looks and sounds tired.

unfortunately not drunk enough to drop Kyle

 

[Meth]

Voss and Cronk FMD

 

[Diesel]

Hoping for another 44-40 scoreline

Cooper Cronk talks like English is his second language
