Round 1 V West Tigers

[Dragon David]

Don't overestimate the ability of Lafai.

Haha, his ability to score overs is unquestionably limited but when you are only predicting the skies the limit.

 

[Forbes Creek Dragons]

I generally relate to this, however, the last 5 or so seasons I remember yearning for each and every nightmare to end from about June onwards. Dragons footy's been abysmal post Bennett. Just isn't right.

It was even abysmal with him I reckon. We won which softens the blow but it would be a stretch to say it was an exciting brand. Mary has tried to continue with the same style just minus the winning. That 99 side was a lot more exciting.

My 10 fearless predictions:
5. Lawrie to have 1 run in 5 at 90° angle to the play.
6. Someone will yell from the crowd "onya Flanno!"

5. Lawrie actually made good metres in the trials, the game against Newc he was well ahead of all our other forwards. Might have a good year I think.
6. If we do have a good start to the year I'd love to see the ground awash with "Flanno the Saviour" " Flanagan Make Saints Great Again" banners ( or the like ), that would be awesome.

Brooks and Benji will give Zac nightmares.
$50 on Luc anytime tryscorer.
Tiges pack will hold ours and their backs will be the difference.
Tiges by 4.

Hope I'm wrong on all the above, apart from Luc.

Thought Lawrie hit really hard in defence too

 

[grouch]

- Hunt will kick a grubber into someone's legs
- Pereira will try hard
- Norman will kick a grubber past the dead ball line
- Laf to rival Jammer for slowest hit-up in the universe
- Lawrie to run straight at someone and immediately fall down
- Merrin to continue his signature late footwork at the line with no leg-drive
- Norman to use the Captain's Challenge time to rack a line of coke off Isaac Luke's ass
- Vaughan to play well.

Elijah Taylor to score a try that makes Benji laugh his head off again

 

[Old Timer]

If our forwards are all that people say they are they should steamroll tis lot.
If we can't win this by 13+ then time to hibernate as it will be an even worse year than I can imagine.

 

[Dannyboy80]

1. It will be great to have footy back again.
2. Frizell will score a try through Leilua
3. Wiliame will make Pereira look like BMoz
4. Lafai and Rava will struggle in defence.
On a side note it turns out Lafai has had 3 excellent SuperCoach seasons in his life where he averaged over 60, each one has been before a contract. Don't fall for it Millward.

Lafai is the ultimate “play for a contract” player

The 2005/6 sides were brilliant to watch also

Lafai was Hasler’s hospital pass to Waterboy

- suckered all the way

They have a far superior backline reliable bunch. let’s just take a win aye and be happy with that

Brooks has torn us to shreds more than once, including his NRL debut.

One coached a team of stars while the other coach had a star team.
In the end, the was coach probably the difference.

As they say a champion team always beats a team of champions. Thing with Bennett was he just devised a gameplan that suited the team we had. A team with Cooper and Scott as centres for example. Gasnier coming back was just the icing on the cake. His early Brisbane days were far from boring. Somehow Mary thinks that is the only way we can win a gf, rather than coming up with a unique game plan to suit the players we have currently. Bennett would have crushed it with Browny’s side probably won 3 in a row.

Agree with this. The talent in that team in 04-05-06 was fantastic. With Bennett coaching that team could have been an all time great team.

Their backline is far superior to ours, in every position! If they get ball they'll run riot.
Luckily its forecast to piss down rain.

How dare you crush my optimism but I suppose better it be you than someone else.
Crush by name crush by nature.

Security!- Love it- those signs could spark the biggest red and white internal revolution since the October 1917 Bolsheviks

 

[boardlumps62]

Well, I did (answer the post’s question).

Something about the officials pissing me off.

Have you been drinking again?

Sorry ok are reaction on this one but what does Muzzy drink that pisses people off Vodka and Orange?
