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

[Raiders_Premiers]

Only had the one. More of a reader than a poster.

:lol: Good old lurkers. Credibility = 0

My biggest aspiration in life is to be as credible as you. I just need to learn how to insert emoticons and 'Suspend Ryles' comments at the appropriate time. Internet credibility is of paramount importance to me.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

They look much better prepared than last year, that's for sure.

I think this is their GF, if any team can score points against their defence its the Tigers. Can't see either the Roosters or Titans knocking them off if they get past us.

:lol: Dead set I don't think there is anything more sad than a lurker keeping tabs on another poster

You must read a lot, though knowing that any attempt at actually making an input to discussion will probably dismissed like the drivel that comes from the keyboards of turds such as Gaba (I'm sure you know who Gaba is, probably been following him for years)

 

[sarahk]

Hahaha genius premiers you talking to other people about credibility is just so fresh considering you've probably never had any in your life, at least not on this forum .

Oh and bottle It is definitely not a female as we just saw from the above .

Don't keep tabs on anything. I visit here a fair bit, and if things are repeated often enough they register. Some posters make more of an impression than others, for whatever reason. Some are worth noting for the quality, some for quantity, some because they exasperate. I still have enough of a memory at present to retain some of it.

In reference to your second sentence, I think the gist of it is that Gaba disses on attempts at reasonable input into discussion, yes? Yes I know who Gaba is. But he's more of a try hard than a serious a-hole isn't he? Makes me laugh sometimes. So he dismisses posts with drivel? Who cares. Hardly the sought of approval I'd be seeking anyway.

 

[carcharias]

ya see...I don't believe bottle is your only forum name.

34 post in 5 years...???

The lingo you use is the stuff of a regular poster.

Knowing so much about certain posters is hard to believe based on a read only basis.

I call bullsh*t.

 

[sarahk]

Yeah but alot of people just read these forums without contributing . I used to read them and wouldn't contribute and after reading so many you get the gist of who the forum regulars are and what they tend to repeat over and over .

I'd like to see tigers win I love the way they play their footy and Benji is worth the price of admission alone. On the other hand, justice would be done if Saints win...they've been clearly the best team over the past two seasons.

Oh Ronnie, maybe I should have used the word failure instead of choke. Fact is your team has taken out the minor prem 2 years running, have a list of great players, the best coach. If u don't win the cup this year what would you call it?????

Its quote embarrasing that Cronulla and Canberra fans can bag the Dragons.

Cronulla's a basket case and the most inept club ever and Canberra's not far behind them.

Jealously I beleive.

The OP was just highlighting the immense pressure they are under, nothing seen like it before

1973, 1978, 1979, 1988, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2008 suggest you'd be wiser shutting up.

 

[DJShaksta]

Again, answer my question.
If you do not win the premiershiop this year, what would you call it?

 

[sooperdooper]

i think the dragons have a massive amount of pressure on them.... and rightly so.

however the eels in 2001 had alot as well?

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

Again, answer my question.
If you do not win the premiershiop this year, what would you call it?

Well, it wouldn't be 1st.

2nd, 3rd or 4th. If my calculations are correct, we can't finish any worse than fourth.

I'm not real good with maths, but I'm pretty sure I can add up the sum of Cronullas premierships with their bank balance.

Ready...

Here goes

0 + 0 = 0.

As I said, maths not my strong suit, so I'm happy to be corrected.

Call away, I can't disprove it.
Which forum user would you like to think I am? More relevantly what's to be achieved by foxing?

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

I cannot express my amusement enough that St George-Illawarra fans consider themselves to be the same Club as St George Dragons.

St George Dragons ceased to exist the second they merged.

You dont hear the West Tigers still considering themselves to be Balmain or Wests.

Northern Eagles didnt consider themselves to be Manly or the Bears....

You have never one a premiership.

You will not win one as the Tigers are going to be atleast 18 points on you and once again you will have choked.

Your club is a joke and your denials that you didn't choke will be as sweet as music to all of our ears.

 

[Jason Maher]

Wow... in-depth analysis at its finest.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

The Dragons are trying grabbing onto whatever they can

Fact of the matter is Stain = 0 premierships

They are as successful as the Cronulla Sharks

Suck a fat one

They seem to be more successful than the raiders as of late though am I right?

As we've only existed since 1999, comparing apples with pomegranates suggests the following tables. Conclude from them what you will:

Premierships since 1999:

Brisbane - 2
Melbourne - 1
Newcastle - 1
Sydney Roosters - 1
Penrith - 1
Canterbury - 1
Wests Tigers - 1*
Manly - 1*
St. George-Illawarra - 0
South Sydney - 0*
Parramatta - 0
Canberra - 0
North Queensland - 0
New Zealand - 0
Gold Coast - 0*
Northern Eagles - 0*
North Sydney - 0*
Balmain - 0*
Western Suburbs - 0*
Cronulla - 0

(asterisk indicates a club that didn't participate every season from 1999-2009)

Grand Final appearances since 1999:

Melbourne - 5
Sydney Roosters - 4
Brisbane - 2
Parramatta - 2
Manly - 2
Wests Tigers - 1
Newcastle - 1
Penrith - 1
Canterbury - 1
St. George-Illawarra - 1
New Zealand - 1
North Queensland - 1
Cronulla - 0
South Sydney - 0
Gold Coast - 0
Canberra - 0
Northern Eagles - 0
North Sydney - 0
Balmain - 0
Western Suburbs - 0

Semi-final appearances since 1999:

Brisbane - 11
Melbourne - 9
St. George-Illawarra - 9
Sydney Roosters - 8
Parramatta - 8
Canterbury - 7
Newcastle - 7
Canberra - 7
Cronulla - 6
Manly - 6
New Zealand - 6
Penrith - 4
North Queensland - 3
Gold Coast - 2
Wests Tigers - 2
South Sydney - 1
Balmain - 0
Western Suburbs - 0
Northern Eagles - 0
North Sydney - 0

What I personally conclude is that there a few sets of fans who would be much wiser shutting their motuhs than mouthing off at Saints fans, but perhaps I am assuming too much rationality on their part...
