Pressure - Has there been greater pressure on any team.....

[smi962]

Certainly would be nice to See either St George-Illawara or the Goldcoast win the first ever premierships in their history though.

He has thrown the line in and is waiting for the bite :

I marvel at the obsession of opposition fans with our team.

Definitely, every second thread in the NRL section is associated with the Dragons, generally started by supporters of other teams :crazy:

And we are the arrogant ones.

I think they do deserve to win the comp. They've been the best team for two years in a row, why don't they deserve to win it?

As for their boring style, it's not their fault that style is most conducive to winning. Maybe the NRL needs to change the rules to reward more exciting play (like knock-ons and accidental forward passes resulting in a play-the-ball to the recovering team, rather than a handover).

St George lack game-breakers but that's just because there are too few going around and some teams hoard them - the sooner the salary cap breaks up Carney and Pearce the better.

To minimise the necessity for topline halves, the rules could also be changed to limit the importance of a top-shelf kicking game.

More offloads and less kicking would lead to more exciting football, but the rules need to support that by making it less risky as a strategy. And as an Eels fan it would suit my enigmatic sh*thouse team.

Don't hold your breath champ

They arent game breakers either , carney is a dangerous player what can turn a game against bad defence, but not a game breaker against good defence with pearce at halfback which puts pressure on carney to do the attack for 5/8 & halfback.

Pearce is the worst halfback going around

:lol: I prefer you use the words "good defensive teams" if possible when you are having one of your little episodes Gaba

 

[Covellius Maximus]

Carney and Pearce should never have come together in the first place. drunkard Carney should've been banned from the game, instead he gets picked up by a rorting club and gets player of the year. Not everyone's so forgiving though...

Carney wasnt even offered a contract at Melbourne...

PE, waste of your time trying to get a sensible discussion out of this poster in relation to this matter. Irrational and hate filled at best. Clearly something horrible happened to her when she was young, perhaps a Saints fan kicked away her marbles or something.

Anyway, as far as the thread itself is concerned, another pressure/choke thread. Cool! Never enough of those. I suggest we have 5 started tomorrow, 6 on Wednesday, and so on until the board is filled with this theme only!!

 

[Covellius Maximus]

I'd rather have Ben Hornby in my team than Mitchell Pearce. Although Scott Prince is the top halfback in the NRL. Pearce will melt under pressure v Titans as he always goes missing against quality queensland halves. Pearce's poor kicking game will cost the Roosters.

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

:lol: :lol: As opposed to Dragons fans. Good one

:lol: What is your team planning on kicking 10+ penalty goals?

That is pretty funny. What wouldn't you have given for just one of those penalty goals on Friday night?

Now you're just sitting at your keyboard without a team to support.

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

^ LOL. Good one.

This R_P tool really has frothed his own box up about the Dragons. I suppose very club has their embarrasing supporters.


You only ever need to win by 1 point.

Sarah, wasn't she comparing notes with you a while back on the comparative attractiveness of certain players? That, and the constant bitching, whinging, harping on about the same thing again, and again, and again. Well i just surmised, you know. Not that all females are bitches of course Sarah.

Still, I could be wrong. Could be male, you know. I'm told the appropriate thing to say is 'Not that there's anything wrong with that'.

LOL bottle. Well rp tends to imply that I judge haynes talent on his appearance which would make him/her being female REALLY funny as I Can now do the exact same thing when she brags about Dugan .

Oh and bottle be fair there's plenty of whinging males on here :lol: I think it's more to do with the fact that she's a raiders supporter than that she's a female .

Downed the dope in one fell swoop.

Bit obvious now sport.

wasnt he man of the match against a gold coast side containing Prince when the roosters beat them at the gold coast earlier this season?

Hey, just for something different, why doesn't someone start a thread trolling Dragons fans?
