This should provide a laugh or two :lol:

LOL!

the dogs are screwed.
i've tried to stay positive, but their injury list has f*cked them up the *rse.
even if they got all their players back, they would be so underdone, that they'd in all probability, still lose.

I concede we're pretty f**ked against Wests but I really think we can give Penrith and Roosters what-for.

 

[gregstar]

even if you make the 8 which is still a distinct possibility, the lack of form will count against you.

 

[Timmah]

If we make the eight we'll clearly be in form, against an out-of-form Broncos.

Three wins on the trot with El Masri, Patten and SBW back counts as something special coming into the finals IMO.

Not that we have much chance of even getting there :lol:

 

[gregstar]

if all those injured players returned for the finals, do you honestly think you'd win?

mason's been back how long? & he's still searching for form.
o'meley's in the same category.

it doesn't matter how good a player is, they need plenty of time after returning from injury. case in point - the dragons. it has taken half the season for the good players to recover the form they're capable of after lengthy or constant injury layoffs.

form is everything in the finals
