[The Silverdale Phantom]

I expect an improvement, because we can’t get worse.

 

[Tigerm]

This is the spoon decider, imo.

 

[Pezz70]

This is the spoon decider, imo.

The spoon is ours I doubt the bookies would be taking bets on us for the spoon now. Wouldn’t surprise me if they paid out early on bets for the Tigers. We are not likely to win another game and we’re 50 odd behind Parra in differential

I better queue up then.

Wishful thinking.
I hope you are right.

Sportsbet has us as outright favourites @ $1.45 for the spoon so there's still time to put the house on it and pay off your mortgage.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Let’s see, Richos not getting back to me, so I’d say he’s done for the season with us members

I can’t say I blame him tbh, I mean what can he say?

I’m pretty much requiring a 33% team selection massacre from last weeks footy holiday on the French Riviera. If we don’t get it, we all know Benjis given up and is paying for the spray tans as well.

Of course my gut feeling is Benji will stumble on with his gut feeling in vain hope.

How many rounds of this pain and suffering do we have left?!

 

[Vic Mackey]

We’ve packed up for the season, souths are showing a bit and Hornsby looks to be a decent enough coach.
Souths by 32.

$1.45 is actually generous odds. I thought we'd be a lot shorter than that. I might be wacking a fair amount of money on that before the round starts. Better than bank interest and just as safe.

We all happily load up and knowing our luck, some team is done for salary cap or drugs and we jag second last by default.

 

[Tigerm]

All 3 Fainu Bros in the 17.
I haven’t followed the bunnies, but MCK is playing.
I think us by 8, with Sezer MoM.

It'll be interesting seeing how Latu goes. I think he has been the highest rated out of the lot of them. The other two are good players and I expected nothing from Sione.

Sam, has been unbelievable. I think we have brought some gooduns with this family.

NEDS has $1.75 for least wins, I’m gonna have a crack. Trouble is they’re so good at breaking my heart if I drop a couple of K on them they’ll win the next 6

 

[Tigerm]

We smacked their arse, not that long ago hahahaha

True. I don't reckon these blokes deserve us throwing away a few grand just so they can avoid the spoon.

I reckon it will be just like last time. He'll get a spell at hooker rather than play his natural position and as a result, we won't get to see what he can offer.

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

NEDS has $1.75 for least wins, I’m gonna have a crack. Trouble is they’re so good at breaking my heart if I drop a couple of K on them they’ll win the next 6

I'll give you 1,000 to 1 they don't win the next 3. Minimum bet $100.
