SuperThread LXX - Honouring James Graham's Unbreakable Melon

[Drew-Sta]

Also, anyone listen to these guys?

I'm still saying Roosters and Manly are the two to beat, even after last night. Manly will step up in the finals. Penrith and Souths don't have what it takes IMO. Cowboys can't be written off though

 

[Drew-Sta]

I thought the Cowboys still have a little more of a soft centre. In saying that, Souths got found out by Easts too.

I want the Cowboys to win though. If Green can give them the same pep talk he did a few months ago then they'll go close.

I think if they can beat Easts to get into the GF, then they'll beat anyone.

 

[Red Bear]

I think it's between Easts, Souths and Nth Qld. Manly are capable but no Ballin really hurts and the forwards just arent as strong at present - great backline though. Penrith I don't think have another level in them, but I guess you can't underestimate them. They'll be even better next year I think, Gould is doing a fantastic job out there.

North Qld obviously have it tough with 4 games to play but they are playing very good football, Thurston and Scott are on fire.



I'll say Souths are going to win of that lot, personally. Sam Burgess will have a huge finals series. Feel free to lol when they get done in the prelim again

Storm to flog bulldogs, panfas and souffs to make the grand final and lose to Cowboys

 

[AlwaysGreen]

The rabbletohs haven't learnt from the last 2 years - their game plan is very effective but also predictable. If a team gets on top of them they have no plan b. Also, I don't think their players actually think they can win it. Their body language is quite forced - when they score a try they jump all over each other but it doesn't look natural, it's as if a sports psychologist has told them how to act.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

I agree Souths could win it, but Penrith? Really SGL?

I think they're in with a good shot. Manly are spent, Melbourne look wobbly, Brisbane + Canterbury have no hope, and Nth Qld are still very unconvincing away from home.

I chuckled.

I chuckled.

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Haven't seen it.

Jack: Kenneth, you're a Middle American. A Joe Average. You're the only one around here who knows what ordinary people want. So tell me. What makes you laugh?

Kenneth: The usual, I suppose. Two hobos sharing a bean. Lady airline pilots. I remember growing up in Stone Mountain, my whole family would go down to the Chuckle Hut.

Jack: That's the local comedy club?

Kenneth: Oh, no, sir, It's a Chuckle Hut. You see, the chuckle is the part of the pig between the tail and the anus. But at night, the Chuckle Hut becomes the Laugh Factory. And that's a comedy club.

The NRL is dead to me now.

Thank you very much, Parra.

...

In all seriousness, though - I just can't enjoy it if my team isn't playing.

i find it's un-enjoyable when there are more teams in the finals that i DON'T want to win the comp than i would like to see win it..



talking about when my team isn't in the finals that is... otherwise every other team falls into the first category......

but in that case i do enjoy watching the finals

 

[muzby]

and is it just me or has the green advertising come back with a vengeance?

 

[Apey]

Put the Knights in the finals and play the entire final series at Hunter Stadium. I'm confident we got dis.

 

[butchmcdick]

Last years GF was a bit meh to me

I have no love for manly or easts

Great teams just don't do it for me.

I thnk easts lost me when Ricky Stuart coached them. Manly needs no explanation

 

[Drew-Sta]

Morning.

 

[Eelementary]

You guys have been on fire.

I tell you what - I really rate Rick Stone as a coach.
