Saying "you just upped the teams you like and shat on those you don't" is pretty dopey. Umm, well duh, it's a prediction thread. It would be stupid if it did anything BUT that.

Here I was thinking the point of prediction threads was to deliver an honest appraisal of where all teams are likely to finish.

Each to their own, but why does this dope qualify for his own moronic, laugh out loud thread? Should we just allow every Tom, Dickhead and Harry to post their own prediction thread? What a f**king boring forum it would be...

Here we go. Timmah's obsession with turning the entire LU forum into one thread.

How does one qualify for their own thread? Being able to click on "New Thread", type something, and clicking "Submit". I'm sure you can do a unit of competency on it somewhere.

BTW, the more prediction threads the better. Far more enthralling than spending your entire life posting Game Day Spoiler - Roosters v Titans - Toyota Cup squad threads!

Face it, you are just sh*tty that because Brednot have chewed through 3 coaches in their last 8 games that I didnt pick them to be undefeated!

Good read mate but you made me look, not once but twice, here:

Cronulla Sharks
There is something developing on the horizon that so far has not been mentioned in all the Shark chatter in League land, but is beginning to grow bigger than the distant speck that it is at present. That is the likelihood that Stuart Raper will be a serious contender for a coaching gig at a more lucrative venue. His tenure has been all about stability, and bringing the best out of a roster that has all the hallmarks of a last chance hotel for careers spiralling toward oblivion. Experienced ex Tiger Bryce Gibbs is the pick of the desperados, which includes a former wonder kid returning unwanted in the Bennet revolution at Newcastle, and a pair of Grand Final halves through sheer luck. They will probably miss the much respected bookends of Snowdon and Douglas, but any side with Gibbs teaming up with the likes of Anthony Toupou and the one person who makes Chuck Norris look like Justin Bieber – the mighty Paul Gallen. There is little doubt that Gal has matured since the mentally unhinged Ricky Stuart managed to find another worse team in blue! Raper has done well to maintain a competitive side in a club without a CEO. There is also every chance that taking Todd Carney away from Kings Cross is a good thing.


WHAT THEY NEED: Carney to regain his 2010 form

WHAT THEY DON’T NEED: Carney to program “Northies” into his Tom Tom.

LAST YEAR: 18pts

THIS YEAR: 22pts

PREDICTION: 12th


The juggler, George, hasnt been around our shores lately.

Cheers for that! LOL. Must have been Timmah distracting me!

Don't agree with any of the predictions but the season never turns out as expected. One thing is for certain, you've guaranteed that you'll be at least within 7 places of getting 50uff$ right.

You're welcome to start your thread whenever you want.

Someone probably put all the food together in one giant container. The fish, the milk, the Monte Carlos, the Tim Tams and the baked beans - all merged into one. Just the way he likes it.

Probably why he loves the Dragons too!

So where are the Doggies gunna finish this year Timmah? First? Second? Canterbury alway carry on about buying a famous forward - they buy one every season ffs! In fact you are the last of the inner city clubs to buy a Pommy forward after Easts bought Morley, Souffs bought Baby John Burgess and Wests got Ellis. Can t have anyone out buy you lot can we!

Thanks for a highly entertaining read Loudy - I need to get back into doing some of these, but having read yours I'd only end up plaguarising.

I think you're wrong about the Roosters - the backline is too pedestrian to pose a genuine threat imo - but I like your logic of the team playing to keep contracts in the light of Uncle Nicks planned shopping spree.

I'll be clinging to that in the same way Julia Gillard holds on to election promises.










Oh f**k.

I love how you made your own thread for this! Like a 15 year old in his first time on the forum. Theres a thread with 2012 predictions already.

Oh ffs you whinging clown. I caused you to make 2 clicks instead of one! Did the onerous effort cause you sudden weight loss? You aint on an intravenous drip because of it!

When I see the scandal on A Current Affair as to how it ruined your already pointless life, I'll do something about it. Until then, go and have fourplay with Timmah.

Your stuff is great! I figure anything like this is better than the obscurity of anything started by Popeye or another AFL paranoia thread. Plus I already pissed of one OCD Canterbury supporter and a dimwit Bronco (well, arent they all, but she's special!) These things are always worthwhile!

On the Chooks, they sneak up whenever they have a good season, and it will be interesting to see how your pack goes without the deadwood of 3-penalties-per-game Ryles and Nate "Potcrapper" Myles - who has the talent to be the next Steve Roach but is not mentally up to it (not tht its much of a challenge anyway)

some people around here need to take some viagra eye drops, and have a good hard look at themselves, and get a sense of humour transplant

There must have been something about clubs formed in 1947. When Parramatta won the 1981 premiership, they burned down their home ground. When Manly win the 2010 premiership, they simply dismantled their club!
Pretty sure the Dragons won the comp in 2010, champ.
