Not the team I was looking for, but I think we got this.

Us by 12, with AD MoM

Not at all thinking a win in this one...still too many imposters there. Might be handy having Farah out there tbh if that’s the case. But nah not falling again for them!

 

[Tiger05]

Blore probably a few weeks away still

I know it was only his first game back but he looked absolutely gassed on the weekend

He looked terrible didn't he. He looked like he was trying way too hard.

 

[Tiger05]

Not that impressed with that team, I prefer the advance notice team earlier that Speedy put up.

Musgrove had to get dropped and so did MCK.

What does Roberts have to do to not make the team?

I think that was the plan if BJ was injured . Maybe his injury wasn’t as bad as first thought

I think you know the answer to that.
The pathways never close

So we have won once since Rd 17 last season, that some kind of streak we are on.

If you break that streak this weekend I will be pretty pissed..

The old firm returns for the backline, the miraculous Doogie is back. Brooks is ready for another average game.

We’ve gone for busy but not spectacular forwards. Might be ok if they go the distance and we can’t win missing 20 tackles per half like last week.

Not enough change for mine, but the dragons have hit a really bad patch.

The dragons were frustrating to watch last week, stuck in my craw that they didn’t manage field position very well and had flaccid last tackle options.
But earlier in the year, they are a confidence side. They will be desperate to take the lead early.

I think the jet is long overdue for a good game and if bj decides to play footy, we might have a chance.

They have a smattering of genuine game breakers and clutch, so at least we’ve gone for health.

Need some proper leadership from Tamou. We can’t have our captain not leading by example or missing critical tackles.

We just have to go with them. We don’t come back very well. If they get a good sniff and overcome their stage fright, we could struggle.

Brooks saying in an interview that the WT didn’t turn up last week against Manly, I would just like to know, where the f*#k were they than ?

"Didnt turn up" ......there ya go...mystery solved

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

"Didnt turn up" ......there ya go...mystery solved

They haven’t turned up all year barring the souffs game

 

[Pistol_Pete]

What does Roberts have to do to not make the team?

Go back to rehab?

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Poignant and incisive as always.

 

[magpie_man]

Any chance of someone running the team bus off the road of Sunday?

Take a detour off Sea Cliff Bridge on the way down to the 'gong.
Glorious!

Such a nice way of saying they were pathetic losers

 

[Ned Kelly]

What does Roberts have to do to not make the team?

I think we should look after him. They say it's all about confidence and early in the year he was talking about just enjoying playing the game without putting too much pressure on himself. Give him some time with the Magpies to build his confidence and enjoy footy. Playing for the Tigers NRL side can't be good for anyone's mental health.
To counter balance that giving Cini a run in first grade would surely lift his spirits (not that he is playing like someone feeling out of sorts)

What does his comment even mean ? Was it your body double at the game.
