don't think the Dragons will be as poor as most people are predicting.

[Saintsified]

The Dragons and Eels? I can't see finals football for these two teams. Having said that, I didn't think the Dragons were that bad against the Rabbits last week. They gave themselves no chance in the Charity Shield by dropping a lot of ball, but when they did show some control they actually bent South Sydney backwards a few times. I want to see a bit more of them before making a firm opinion. I don't think the Dragons will be as poor as most people are predicting.

You can throw in WT in your group as well, they don't appear to be much either.

 

[Inspector Gadget]

Two words - "Ball control".

 

[stg666]

I BELIEVE . we will make the top 8 .

 

[Twenty10]

Gould has a soft spot for saints... But despite this quote he does also say we won't be playing finals footy.
So don't get too excited by this.

 

[coast_dragons]

Twenty10 serious will you piss off.

 

[KiamaSaint]

I always appreciate Phil's thoughts and I think he is spot. It will take a few injuries to make us spoon contenders but a lot of luck to find ourselves in the top 8.

 

[Jubileeboy]

I'm still confident we will make the eight......the same as every other supporter of every other team except our very own Suicide Watch Crew.
Gotta have an optimistic approach or there's no point following your team.

Even the Sharks still have 30 odd supporters after all these years of nothing...

Twenty10 serious will you piss off.

+1

 

[Fire]

My mind swings back and forth, every hour, every day lol.

Price will cop a hiding on these forums (myself included giving it to him). But it's also going to come down to how hungry the players are.

If they turn up each week hungry, we'll make the Finals.

We need consistency back.

Soward is key. I can't stress how much he has to aim up this season in order for us to make the Finals.

 

[Twenty10]

Twenty10 serious will you piss off.

Wah wah...sick of you having a sook everytime you hear the truth. Harden up champion or just go away. We are all entitled to our opinion. Even you... Yes you are allowed to be one eyed, biased and display NFI with every post. It's a democracy afterall! Just have some tissues nearby when you Jump on here next time. What I said was fact. Gould said we wouldn't make the 8. Are you going to call him and have a cry?

f**k me

I have in my hot little hand Phll's season preview for 2010. He had us 5th and the Roosters 14th. His top pick as the premiers? Parramatta....enough said. Don't take any notice of any of these experts, they know about as much as we do.

Having said that, if Souths don't win the comp this year they never will. With it almost impossible to win it two years in a row Melbourne are gooooone and with Barba out indefinately the Bullcheats are gooooone. South Sydney come on down it's now or never.

 

[Morotti]

I think Gould brings up a really good point. We just haven't seen enough of our team this year to make a judgment. I think after 5 rounds we will know. So we will wait and see.

 

[big pat]

gould is becoming a boring old hack, just like rothfield, wouldn't take any notice of either of them, i have an idea, how about we have a look at a few games, before we bail out.

 

[_Johnsy]

Best 6th
Worst 14th
Realistic 10th

 

[hardbaby]

Best 6th
Worst 14th
Realistic 10th

That's how I see it...

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

I think Gould brings up a really good point. We just haven't seen enough of our team this year to make a judgment. I think after 5 rounds we will know. So we will wait and see.

Disregard if we lose to The Storm in Melbourne in Round 1.....The turn around for us will be WHEN we beat The Raiders in Canberra...just sayin
:roll:

 

[Johnny-b-Goode]

Seriously, the best outcome is if we win the comp..... Okay I think 6-7 is realistic after reg season, but it's silly to say our best outcome would be sixth...

 

[coast_dragons]

Been written of by everyone means less pressure except from the fans so the old cliche under the radar applies.

Comes down to Soward and how keen he is hoping he fires if not will be a long season.
