Rnd 1 vs Warriors

[Poupou Escobar]

because that strategy has worked so well for nsw in origin :sarcasm:

It's been working for Queensland.

I hope Folau has progressed significantly from the few occasions I saw him play (on TV) last year. Defence ordinary, dropped the ball a touch more than you'd want, and when he did he had a sook rather than going and diving on it. But, maybe I saw a very biased sample of his performances.

Smoky for round 1.
JB.

Justin Bieber?

Jacob Boko?

 

[Avenger]

It must be Jamie Buhrer. MJC just got the year wrong.

 

[emjaycee]

Jim Beam.... by the bottle.

 

[Bigfella]

What's that ... Some sort of vegetarian bourbon?

 

[Zombie Fitzy]

According to the rumours, isn't Jarryd supposed to be moving to the Dogs by round 1?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Still eight days to go.

 

[Parra! *Clap Clap Clap*]

Parra by 10.

On a serious note, I rate the Warriors as a challenger to the Rorters for the premiership. That is contingent of NZ sorting out their inconsistencies but Tomkin/Johnson could be devastating...but not in round 1.

Must be true.

I don't know why but I feel confident this year. I hope Brad Arthur turns out to be a genius and we turn it on right from round 1.

I think you're overrating the influence of a coach over a short period of time. Don't forget the Knights made the finals the year before Bennett arrived, and then missed out in his first year at the club.

It's a team game, and if we improve this year it'll be due to all the new heads in the team, as well as more appearances from key personalities.

I have a feeling the Eels will shock the world here.

They've been smart in dropping Sandud. Hopoate is back. Hayne should be fit and hungry. Norman can play.

And of course they don't have the dead weight around their neck that was Ricky Stuart.

I do not rate Tomkins. In terms of talent the Eels would be a finals caliber team in the UK. When it comes to size, strength and speed of the game they are miles ahead. Tomkins will get shown up as not the real deal.

Eels 30-22

We're f**ked. May as well jump on Tomkins for first try, last try and man of the match and make some money out of it.
