My hate goes back to 67 when the sun was out, albeit a bit of cold wind blowing followed by a complete numbness when Taylforth kicked that f**king goal.
Everything after that just made the hate swell and get bigger.
Shame about the pecker though.

1985 Grand final.
I and some mates spent the whole day at the Georges River Sailing Club.
Drinks ...
One down, two to go.

Steve Gearin sux, Canterbury suck.
More drinks.
Never forget it forgive.
Canterbury still suck.
Taxi poured me home.

Personally I dont think Packer will play and to be honest Im glad hes not....he would be way down on match fitness and if he did play we would probably maybe get 10 mins out of him and included in that a few drop balls or penalties .....my biggest concern is McDonald he was bloody useless last week and Im one of his fans...hopefully he pulls it together on Sat....I think he will be opposite Chase Stanley whos well passed his use by date....another area we need to improve on is our outside backs quite often lately they get bundled into touch ...Im ok with it if their trying to score a few metres out but it really pisses me off when they get pushed over the sideline on the second or third tackle in our half......Im convinced we can win this game providing we start well and belt them early.....the key for us could well be young Dufty, if he gets good clean early ball he will worry the life out of their defence.....they've never really played us with anyone who possesses genuine speed..... so c'mon fellas youve given us supporters a very bumpy ride thus far you owe us big time

On paper we have a team that could win this. I'm not over enthused though. We have perhaps the weakest fullback in the team. 'I'm not blowing smoke up his arse like some' As much as I am loathe to say this, we need Dugan as FB in this game. Put Milne in as centre. He has a synergy with McDonald.

I take your point re Dugan at fullback and Milne in the centres, all this season I was calling for Milne to be inside Nene....but look its not going to happen Mary is what he is.....still think young Dufty will go ok.....hes got a lot to learn but hes heading in the right direction.....unfortunately Duges and Milne are heading for the door

I like our chances.

Saints to win by 13+.

The Dogs focus will be Mad Monday.

We must start fast and smash them early. If we do I can see them folding like a cheap suit.

Apart from McCrone at 17, I am confident its the best side we have.

Add Host/Leilua at 17 and we win this won.

Team knows there is no tomorrow if they lose. We will be desperate to win.

Milne had done sfa for Illawarra he has been out played by Herbert numerous occassions and when in first grade he wasn't any better.

Dugan and Milne moving on has opened the door for the likes of Garrick, Lomax, Field and Johns.

They should have told Nightingale to retire as he is thew last stumbling block for players progression.

Its rather disturbing the obsession for trying to prove a player has an ego seriously most players do if they didn't they wouldn't survive in the game.

f**k off. He does the job but noteworthy. Dufty is probably the weakest FB in the NRL atm. I'm not blowing smoke up his arse like you. His attack is OK but defensively he is is hopeless. I'm not even a Dugan fan but stick him back as FB. Find a place for Dufty elsewhere.

They'll be up for this game with Reynolds, mainly & possibly Graham playing their last games for them. You can be sure that Reynolds will do something unlikely such as a 40/20 or interception. Let's hope his emotions take over especially after a few words from Thommo is Simms. Kasiano not being there is a huge bonus as he's normally the one who has tormented us over the years.

What if I reworded this. He is the weakest fullback in the NRL. Name someone who is worse given attack/defence. I'm bloody interested.

Ego? You summed it up beautifully. Problem is he doesn't figure in the best fullbacks in the game. Nowhere near it. We need a balanced fullback, attack and defend, like Tedesco.
