Round 18 v Gummy's

[Dragonslayer]

Haven't started a game day thread for a while, so here it is.

Will Hunt play? Given the talks today you'd have to say yes. However, which Hunt will turn up. The I want to show them Hunt or the tanking Hunt?

I'm going out on a limb here and saying we'll win this and win quite well.

Shark park with all the drama going on could get ugly unfortunately.

 

[jeffdragon]

Thought about starting it.
Glad someone did.
Positive for this game.
Sorry can't think of any atm.

The sharks have shown they struggle against the better teams, but put the cleaners through slow teams.

I hope I'm wrong, but I suspect Thursday will get ugly.

I'll have my heater on and a steady supply of beer.

I've taken to not watching the games, but checking the score at or near the end. If the result is good, I watch a replay. This technique has reduced my stress levels enormously, as well as the amount of swearing I hurl at the tv. The downside is that I don't get to watch many Dragons games, but I did enjoy the South's match. I still haven't seen the Warriors game

We played the Sharkies in Round 4 and they scored many tries by running around our compressed defence. We played the Warriors last round and they scored many tries by running around our compressed defence. Given that we obviously learnt nothing after our Round 4 effort, I don't expect the result this time around to be any different, regardless of how Ben Hunt plays.

If we selected a fullback other than Sloane, someone who could get the defence organised, then we might have a hope.

I just bought a cheap 2nd hand TV so I don’t throw the good one out the window

There's a 4th world country and it's called Shark Park

Bird cannot be named tomorrow.
It’s no coincidence that when he plays we lose.
Since Carr has taken over.
Round 12 W (Roosters) No Bird
Round 13 L (Dolphins) Bird was horrible
Round 14 L (Penrith) No Bird, we played well, narrow loss
Round 15 W (Souths) No Bird
Round 16 BYE
Round 17 (Warriors) Bird was horrible

Well with this information I agree that Bird should not play on Thursday but I'm thinking that Carr will name him tomorrow.

My Mate went to watch a game there when the Broncs played.
Never again he said.

Could we be any worse than last week !!!

If you mean the Warriors game from last Friday night, then you should really watch it to see how well a team can bounce back after previous year of mediocrity.

I agree with your mate

 

[SaintPeter]

If they don't drop Sloan the club is beyond any further support from the fans.
The kid is, I'm sure, a nice bloke, but has repeated demonstrated he is incapable of making a tackle, or contesting a kick. Not to mention getting carried back and not being able to organize the defense.

 

[jeffdragon]

Haven't been there in years.myself.

I’m hopeful that he never wears the red v again.

4. SULI
5. FINAU
6. SULLIVAN

I am hopeful that Flanno can do something with him, or Ramsey comes back and we can put him on a wing. But yes if it dosent work out then i'm affraid he has to go.
