So, How Are We Looking For 2014?

[Card Shark]

Less than a week to our first game.

Where are we gunna finish the season, following the finals?

I'm tipping we will improve on last year & make the grand final qualifier.....but miss out on the big day.....again.

What do ya's reckon?

 

[Ausguy]

Who knows...

I say 7th with a departure week 1

 

[Quigs]

2014 season and I will confess, it is the least excited I have been about the kickoff of a rugby league season that I can remember.

I think the fact that Dank @ the Hartleys for what 6 years, and of course everyone remembers half the Eastern Suburbs mob returned unusual high readings for what...(yeah everyone remembers that - it's in the press every bloody day still)

and us poor old Sharkies are still getting the unvass pole ...

Sorry I just can't get into it just yet but I hope we kick arse and of course the default result is our main aim. Always finish the season well ahead of the Stinking Stains.

psssts.... 5th I reckon.

 

[carcharias]

I reckon we will start off shit.
Lose a bunch with half the team out injured....then SOO will rip us apart...

 

[Vin Fizz]

Changing of the guard this season except for the Rorters. I reckon there will be a few surprises in and out the 8 this year. Gut feel is Rorters will go b2b. Bunnies is anybodies guess. Hartleys starting to fall apart (broke, and Board are fugged), Stains have had it. Panfers, Warriors are smokies, Cows good things. The mighties will build on last years momentum and challenge.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

well we have to get a hot start as out draw gets harder and harder as the season goes.

if we wanna make finals we need to be in the top 4 come mid way of the season IMO


dont see us truely challenging.

raiders for last. under 6 wins

 

[The Popper]

I'm a bit worried about our early season injury toll, particularly if Carney is out too. We could have difficulty getting over the Titans?

 

[Qld-Sharkie]

I see a year of throwing the remote at the tv, screaming so loud that the cat runs from the room, depression, false hope & the chance to say "There's always next year."
Groundhog day...
f**k, I wish I could follow another sport or team.

 

[Feej]

Injuries to begin the season. SOO and the usual Gal lead up and certainty to miss a few games before or after the series. ASADA crap dragging on.

11th.

 

[shaggs]

We will win.

Regular season 6th. Scrape through first week of semis, then destroy the next two teams before winning a tight one in the gf.

Canberra are going to be balls this year.

That was me last year Quigs, with the ASADA shit. Didnt even watch the first couple of games.

This year, with ASADA not so prevalent, I'm pumped to watch us play. Gunna miss Pom though ;-)

 

[Quigs]

how is Le Pommeroy going with the Cats. Have not heard munch of his form from France.

You can't we don't get shown on tv

Groundhog day...

How did (Phil Connors) Bill Murray stop the rot?

Maybe the passing of director / actor Harold Ramis might be the catalyst.

It is exactly 20 years since the making of the movie, which apparently Murray & Ramis had a long standing falling out over its production. Murray paid tribute to Ramis at the Oscars after his very recent death.

Perhaps now we can get off the merry-go-round & win a bloody title - the Groundhog Day curse is lifted??? 1 Harold goes, another returns!!

P.S. I can't believe Quigs didnt start a thread about Harold falling off the perch?

If you can't be positive and upbeat before a ball is kicked what's the pharken point? I think we will go good. I like Coach Sharp. Our squad is balanced and strong. Even though trial form is no great indication, I like the way we went about our business in the 9's and the one trial (Manly) I saw.

 

[newman]

Everything is relative boys.

Let's have a look at the side Ricky Stuart is wheeling out for the Faders.

Raiders: 1. Anthony Milford 2. Reece Robinson 3. Jarrod Croker 4. Matt Allwood 5. Edrick Lee 6. Jack Wighton 7. Terry Campese (C) 8. Dane Tilse 9. Glen Buttriss 10. Brett White 11. Josh Papalii 12. Joel Edwards 13. Shaun Fensom
Interchange: 14. Josh McCrone 15. Jarrad Kennedy 16. Paul Vaughan 17. Shannon Boyd 18. Mark Nicholls


Bog average in every position. Raiders fans have the right to be negative before a ball is kicked. Not us.

We are no Porsche.
We are no Datsun.

We are Toyota!

To be fair Newms... id take the players in bold... not necessarily in those positions.

PS is that the offical team, cos i need to do some fantasy adjustments (no cornish)

 

[newman]

Yep it's official. I also picked Cornish!

 

[Ausguy]

Yep it's official. I also picked Cornish!

f**king Stuart.... 2 things... picked 18 players (fantasy killer) and picked wighton at 6... i have him but not sure how he will go there..
