When it rains.......

 

[Nutz]

We got this.

 

[Nutz]

Hynes is out and we can upset them, beaten them already this year. We've got troops coming back, the planets are aligning, my neighbours dog is now shitting in my other neighbours garden bed (one I don't like) Leichhardt Oval is saved, I won over 50bucks in powerball.
Come on guys, talk it up.

 

[Tiger Ted]

We would’ve been better off if the pathetic impostor was playing

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

Will Stephanie finally aim up against a good forward pack? Probably not

 

[Das Hassler]

Apparantly Api's good to go with an early "yeah I done it" plea....I'm a bit surprised he didn't have to sit one out after others have for the same nothing accident

Apparantly Api's good to go with an early "yeah I done it" plea....I'm a bit surprised he didn't have to sit one out after others have for the same nothing accident

All that had to happen is for the player to milk it and Api would be out for a while. If they had to play us again the next week in the prelims that's what would have happened, maybe.
I am glad that no intent to cause injury came in the decision because it's got to be more of a defence these days as the game is so much quicker.
Years ago there was more time to line players up, a quick glance to the left and right to see where the officials were looking...then whack! You got away with it because their was only one game camera. Practically all bad stuff was out of view.
I'm disappointed that that gladiator type contact has gone but I'm all for no contact with the head as this kills people or ruins them later on in life.

 

[Nutz]

Will Stephanie finally aim up against a good forward pack? Probably not

What he needs to do is play intense hard man footy and big minutes.
If another club is keen on him they will be watching this game for sure.
So what would be the tipping point?
Big minutes,
Big contact driving opposition players backwards,
Huge post contact metres,
Keep in the centre and be the enforcer.
Finally he needs accolades from the commentators like get the VB Hard man Index or top the Fantasy Coach points eg 80+ points.
I know that sound like crap but selectors watch and listen to games either live or reply and these sort of accolades as well as his career highlights package can persuade them to recruit.
Can Stephanie rack up 70+ fantasy points....I don't think so, I'd have to check but I don't he has ever???

Lobb would have been handy the last few weeks?
Naden must be on the outter? He’s playing cup again.

Another chance, but never confident with our lads. It depends on which team turns up.

 

[Tiger Ted]

Surely Toa comes in for faataape

Proudly provided by the same dropkick who wrote Benji's bio at the Centre of Shiteness. We all make mistakes though. Surely these sort of things are checked by others before being put on the site?

 

[Pezz70]

Sezer has had a shocker tonight, missed tackles, drop ball thrown an intercept, just generally been in the way

 

[Tiger05]

We have some crappy players.

Doueihi can't defend. Stef is pretty poor at defense as well plus he is good for at least one dropped ball a game. On top of that Stef doesn't do much when he actually has a run.

Staines pass was terrible as well.

The usual performers have been okay. Api, Bula, Galvin, Samuela and Sione Fainu, Seyfarth, Pole and even Porter have been okay.

 

[Nutz]

If I was Api I would've kept going at that ref and got sent off. Then we could get an apology as well as a thrashing.
Now we're just going to get a thrashing.
BUT seriously, that ref is a goose for sending him to the bin.
