Finals Week One

[rednwhites]

Brisbane playing like they want to play Dragons (with that error). Can't blame them.

 

[Brutalitops]

You mean the guy that reportedly announces he wants to walk away on the eve of finals?

You mean that thing that didn't happen?

 

[Saint_JimmyG]

Bennett will tell Brisbane to concede a try before full time.

 

[jeffdragon]

We will win

 

[Crush]

Look, I think if the dragons play to their full potential, widdop and hunt fire, dufty has a cracker, the forwards rip next week against Broncos we will lose by 14. Anything less than our absolute best and we will get beat by 40.

 

[dragonssamy61]

Broncos next week.
Well you never know

 

[Mickthedragon]

Correct on all counts.

There was nothing wrong with DCE’s “try”.

Complete bull from The Bunker.

And then Sims is square for Brisbanes last no try. The nrl/refs have their preferred match ups. Just lol at it

Samy I think I do know , and it ain't good ......

I will not right them off

 

[Dragonslayer]

So Penrith and Broncos finish on +56 for and against, how is it then determined?

 

[Mark D]

Actually think the big stage of Suncorp will suit us better.. Hunt /Widdop play better on big stages... same for Sims JDB etc.. Let’s see how it unfolds

Answer: the team that has conceded less points goes up (to fifth).

Anyone would think the game is rigged.

Noooooo.

 

[Saint_JimmyG]

We will win

I’ll hold you to that.

Saints simply won’t be able to contain Brisbane’s ability to score points. On his own, Oates will score more than enough points.

And if we’re going to go on a Cows or Sharks like run, it would come from jagging an unlikely win away from home.

No one expects us to win. Just go out there and have a go.

Let’s ambush someone else for a change.

The key to win is big games from Hunt, Widdop and the forwards - but seriously speaking Broncos are the dark horse to win Comp and in top form. Miracle needed!

Actually, Cronulla are the ‘dark horse’,

Brisbane will (sadly) flog SGI next week, then lose a low scoring match.

 

[rednwhites]

McGregor has put a distance between fans and the team - My preference was to have a home final, then play Panthers, then play Broncos at Brisbane, however I can't help but feel the team can suck it up. They keep talking and talking "no worries, not phased bla bla bla" - go and show us you are as good as you say you are because I ain't buying it.

How soon til that old familiar rhetoric 'looking to improve next year...Mary has plans bla bla bla' starts spewing out?

Heard it all before.

Some might say I should shut up and enjoy the game but this season shows us right to very last minute that it is not going to reward our ineptness.

 

[Belta]

It wasn’t that long ago we were beating the top teams.

I have a dream.

Although we look anything but a finals campaigner, It has been said; “Finals football is a different mongrel.” Could it be the finals atmosphere that evokes a miraculous form reversal which awakens the boys from our end of season slumber and see’s them pull off a series of all time kick ass upsets?


Go the Dragons

 

[BLM01]

Broncos may beat us..but are too loose. They will be knocked out the following week.
Just another example of when a team has to get to a point to secure a home semi or a win..they get it done. Kudos Dragons..get what you deserve...talking themselves up "oh we will make the Top 4 as that has been our focus all year"..dont panic Dragons fans..yeh right!.
You have to beat the best against the odds at times to win the comp. Starts with Broncos this week.
What about you root for Manly just once and Brad Parker (6 drops) and that Polish backrower Gosweleski..or whatever...who did that stupid kick when all he had to do was pass.
I did note the refs hardly penalised the Broncos all day. Boy we are up against it next week.
