Up the Maggies!

 

[The Gambler]

Go you Magpies!

 

[innsaneink]

How long has Rudder been back for?

 

[Jeffles]

Go The Jets!

radio conversation picked up at midday sunday:

"mayday, mayday, mayday, i'm hit, aarrrrgggggghhhhhh!!!!!!!"

then silence

crash burn and die jets!

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Where's Frank-Paul? Did he end up playing too many 1st Grade games for Easts?

 

[NZ Jet]

Good luck Jets - this is a pretty good side, so no excuses.

....Mind you, getting to play Wests at Wests home ground doesn't seem like that much of a reward for being first qualifyer into the preliminary final. Maybe there's AFL finals on at Henson?

Go Jets!

 

[Henson Park Hornets]

I'll be there with bells on!


But have to question the location of these games. Why Cambo? I mean it's not very central to most of the teams playing and it's not even neutral! I would have thought a ground like Parra (even if it was going to be more expensive to hire) would have been a more logical ground to play at....?

Still.... guess the Maggies will need all the help they can get - the Jet Army will be on the march to Cambo - watch out!!!!!

getting to play the magpies at our home is the sort of gift santa gives to only the very best little kiddies. consider yourself blessed.

 

[Jeffles]

Cambo was chosen well in advance by the NSWRL to host the finals. That Wests are still there works in their favour.

Belmore, Kogarah and Concord are venues that spring to mind that are accessible to more fans and would have been available to host NSWRL finals without worries about "home" venues.

 

[Die-Hard p/t Jet Fan]

To be fair to the NSWRL, they probably made the very logical assumption that the Maggies season would have already been over. Oh yeah, I went there. Bring it on!

it was a very cunning plan by the magpies to win three straight spoons in order to get the rails run to the centenary season grand final wasn't it.

 

[Jeffles]

Cunning plan indeed. They even let in 60 points in multiple games. Unfortunately that plan will be undone on Sunday.

 

[Henson Park Hornets]

So where is eveyone going to sit? Think all us Bluebags should sit together, make a bit of noise and cheer the boys on.

On the older grandstand side?

Who is bringing the ripped up phone book?

 

[Jeffles]

The view from the lower level of the old grandstand it pretty ordinary. If it is a nie day, I might go to the eastern side. Good view and with a 12:00pm kickoff it is unlikely the sun will be in our eyes.

 

[Henson Park Hornets]

Sounds like a plan!

I've stocked up on streamers too... 36 blue and 12 white.

magpies are just delaying the inevitable newtown championship win ...

Yes strange choice of venue, I personally was hoping for it to be at Skilled Park Robina.:sarcasm:
Anyway, go you bluebags.

 

[Die-Hard p/t Jet Fan]

Well I am pretty pumped and I am not even going, pretty jealous about that. HPH if you could SMS the scores to my missus i would forever be in your debt
