Finals Week One

[Crush]

Hope the Gordon Family buy in isn't a "no WIN" situation...

I personally don't concern myself too much with the politics of football clubs, I just focus on the football teams.
I know it filters down from the clubs to the teams but I'm not into following it too closely.
I couldn't care less about who owns what and which club owes what to the nrl etc, I just watch the footy.

Cherry pickers unite!!!

Stupid coaches unite!

Leave 2 players with no minutes, that even includes being down a man with a sinbin.

Tempo of finals...coaches can't be doing that. Utterly stupid and taxing on the players

Rabbits are vulnerable next week

Grew up and still live in the shire. Old man worked for the major sponsor when I was a 6 year old so used to go to games a lot, dad had to organize the dragon mascot for a while.
Went to school where all my mates went for sharks, I was always staunch dragons.
I've tried to adopt sharks as my second team but just cannot do it. I hate them.
Maybe when Gallen finally retires it might help.
And Fafita.
And Flanno.

Marvellous post, mate.
Your courage, your faith, your passion to push thru when things get hard....... then again, how hard can it be to hate the Narks!
Love ya work!

Nope, Flegg to ISP and then to FG if they're still showing promise.

Hang on, you said you don’t watch reserves.
So you don’t realise reserves Is ISP??

'Hoping'. If you're the coach you can't use woos words like hoping. You need to make firm statements to the media regardless of your actual thoughts.

Gee , Im glad you sorted that out out .....

Watch the Geelong coachs honesty in the press conference after his team lost to Melbourne last night.
That’s a coach!
Mary is a dud with more than one screw lose.
You may not like AFL, but the Geelong coach’s response in the press conference is so far above Mary’s dull utterances and excuses it’s laughable
Now back to the RoRters forum for you

Many on here might not like AFL, but geeze, over 90,000 people to BOTH their first two finals games.......the singing, the chanting, the team songs, we, the NRL need to lift our game.

Dragons biggest game of the year this will change everything. We win then play souths at anz next week would be massive for the red v season .

And 17,000 to watch the NRL 'game of the year'.

 

[J.moz]

Dragons v souths would pull a crowd of 30.000 plus crowd nrl would love this to happen.

Yep, for the time being, everything that has happened is behind us.
If we win, it’s all systems go again.
Just hope we get a fair call on the 50-50 decisions.

As are Bellamy's. He's honest assessment of some his players even when its not good is invigorating. A coach that will not accept any crap from his players on or off the field and easily identifies where they were ordinary and what needs fixing. If they have an ordinary week, you just feel they are going to work doubly as hard in the next week to fix it. A coach that accepts nothing less and gets upset about anything but perfection. Geez I wish he was coaching the Dragons.
Just watched James Graham press conference from the other day..Gold.and Comical...straight out of the Hasler or Bennett book and even like Darius's press conferences for the Dragons.

That will be the day up in Brisbane with one of the Sutton clan involved..and besides moving up quick offside and the wrestle is back. Dragons weak points. But adversity is there to overcome. Go the Dragons.

Newtown Highlights... we were lucky.... definitely a knock on for our last try

Their left side attack craps on ours...Siebold shows how better he is than Mehry simply on this aspect alone.

Are you okay? I know your thoughts aren't very logical in the best of times but this is one of the worst instances.

When did I say I watch ISP but I don't watch reserves?

Don't follow the AFL but I did listen to the press conference after reading your post.

He seemed like a great guy speaking straight up with no crap. Very refreshing.

Our good grounds for watching Ruby League are much smaller and have less seats. I imagine if you combine TV viewers and ground attendance you may get a better idea on what is going on.
