[Tigerm]

This is one of those games where’d you think we were a chance, but not now, from what I’ve read the team are no longer interested, has Sheenius
lost the shed.

I think he had about a month ago....

 

[Vic Mackey]

Hope Brooks, Staines and Blore are back

Souths will do what they do, beat up on a shit team and carry on like theyve won the comp, then lose to the next half decent team they play

Strongest team weve been able to name all year, lets hope they put in

 

[Tigerm]

Alex Twal for try #2.

Even better if he smashes through Mitchell to get it

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

Whatever side Junior Tupou defends on will be seeing plenty of souffs traffic. He'll be having a nightmare and it won't be on Elm St. It'll be like 13 Freddie Krugers running at him. He'll leak at least 4 tries.

With Mitchell making his comeback, and our forwards having put the cue in the rack about 6 weeks back, this will be an absolute cakewalk. I expect souffs to put 40 on us by half time.

 

[Wizardman]

Feel free to call me names....but I have a strange gut feeling we'll put in a decent effort this Friday. Our pack can certainly match that lot if they genuinely put in.....and we have had a history of doing it against Souths. A Brooks/Laurie/Douhei combo will be quite interesting to watch...a Brooks and Laurie free from pressure about their futures as well....two quick halves with a very smart hooker controlling things.

Im looking forward to it. My drinks will be ready if it all turns bad,

 

[Old Time Tiger]

Brooks/Laurie/Douhei combo will be quite interesting to watch

When will those 3 ever play as a combo, Douhei couldn't keep anyway.

 

[Tigerm]

Can’t see or hear any of the game, but it looks we are being warmed up to be reamed in the second half?

Just resign Tim and be done with it and us.

Well we didn’t get reamed by the looks, Tim will say we had a good second half again? Johnston another hat trick against us?
But, f**k, what a soul destroying period that we and the club are in atm

 

[This Year?]

*edit* Was happing seeing the middles make some inroads. Hopefully they persist with that. Looked much better today but needed more polish.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

How’s it going Tim?


Chuck it in while you can old mate.

So, it’s all the players fault?

But it’s a 2 - 3 year plan and we need to stay the course

Blore got injured again!

Blore got injured again!

Blore got hit flush on the head with a shoulder charge which lost him for the game and we didnt get a sin bin. Farcical

Sheens is correct in bagging our centres and wingers for kicking it as soon as they make a break. However we've done it all year, not sure why he suddenly brings it up after round 22. A good coach would have nipped it in the bud straight away. There was a stat a few weeks ago showing that we had the worst line break to try conversion rate in the comp. Not surprisng.

I didnt think we were horrible, scoreline flattered souths in the end. If Moale is sin binned think it changes the game completely. Was 20-12 when it happened and 20-18 just minutes after
