Squad succession

[King-Gutho94]

You never know your luck on the day.

Bad Luck and Parramatta come hand in hand especially on GF day.

What club has to play in a GF an opposition who has had
- Greatest Halfback of all time.
- A team a million dollars over the cap.
- Statistically one of of the most dominant teams with the Best W/L record over a 3 years period in the past 40 years.

Since the NRL era Us the Warriors and Raiders are the only teams to play in a GF and not win one.

Sharks/Knights/Tigers have all played in 1 Grand Final and not lost 1.

Titans and Dolphins have never played in a GF

I actually took the Dolphins to Premiers in Qld Cup and promotion to the NRL in one season on Rugby League Team Manager 3. I haven't continued that game once they were in the NRL, but I reckon I could do better than Bennett, who should've won the comp by now...

Yeah but if we beat Canberra and the Panthers beat the Roosters, then what happens ? Take the stupid bye points out of it and we're all on 5 wins.

Well no, the Panthers would be on 6 wins.

 

[Gronk]

Raiders and Roosters I was talking about silly.

Lol. When you mention us, the panthers, the Roosters and the Raiders in the one comment and then say “we’re all” it means you are talking about them all.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If the Panthers were on more he obviously wasn't talking about them ffs. Surely you knew what he meant. It's a rugby league forum. Imprecise language is part of the fun.

Bottom 4.

Souths next week, then the Cows. Oh dear.

Yesterday you called us a ‘top team’. Laughable.

Yesterday you called us a ‘top team’. Laughable.

So you’re here to tell me just that ?

 

[Noise]

So you’re here to tell me just that ?

I meant to ask you if we are still a top team?

 

[Gronk]

I meant to ask you if we are still a top team?

We are a top club, but the NRL team are playing pretty clunky right now. But can’t you see that from the W/L record ?

Are we a top club? Same amount of wooden spoons (3) as grand finals (3)in the NRL era with 0 premierships. Currently bottom 4. I’d say we are middle at best.

Well you’re entitled to that opinion.

Remember that time we were statistically one of the best defensive and attacking teams of all time in a grand final? Upsets happen in sport. None of those grand finals were fait accompli.

Long term we are middling, but since the constitution change we have been well above average. Flash in the pan or signs of real growth? We won't find out any time soon.

 

[Avenger]

Let's do it Pou.

 

[Gronk]

Let's do it Pou.

Every signing announcement he's on the shitter.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Let's do it Pou.

He is 2 hours behind everyone else on the east coast.

News travels slow especially to WA.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I just got on the shitter but I am off to the pub and left my glasses in the office. I’ll update this later as I’m far sighted and it’s hard trying to type while holding the phone far enough away to be able to see.
