[Bumble]

You are quick Dodgey, I'll give you that.

Dogs a chance? For the Round 4 crowd's sake, I hope they keep winning.

 

[Timmah]

Dogs will put Penrith to sleep easily. Dogs > Cats.

It all starts again tomorrow. This season will be full on. The moment the siren sounds after Bundaberg MNF, it's all on again the next morning with team announcements and such.

 

[mattyg]

Dogs should win if we play like we did in the first half against newcastle, and stay awake in the 2nd half. Bit worried about when the bench comes on the field though.

 

[raiders fan forever]

Expect the raiders at something like $4 again against the storm $1 something like that

 

[Timmah]

*makes it a little easier to read*

 

[Lockyer4President!]

It all starts again tomorrow. This season will be full on. The moment the siren sounds after Bundaberg MNF, it's all on again the next morning with team announcements and such.

And I f**king love it! God-damn this year has a good feel to it.

 

[Timmah]

Dogs should win if we play like we did in the first half against newcastle, and stay awake in the 2nd half. Bit worried about when the bench comes on the field though.

Hickey's fine, McIlwain is electric... but the other two should give it up. Cleal did sweet F-A to be honest, and I didn't see Armit make much impact.

Williams on the other hand, earned his starting spot :sarcasm:

 

[Lowdown]

Warriors v Broncos is easily the Match of the round. If they can get 20k to Mt Smart, then nuke Auckland...seriously.

[Edit: Forgets Lockyer is out. Scratch that comment. Changes match of the round to Manly v Wests @ Leichardt]

 

[mattyg]

Armit usually doesn't appear to make much impact but does alot (plus he is fresh from an injury). Hickey can work on his marker defence and general laziness. Cleal did SFA. McIllwain...i will never forget his dropped ball...ever.

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

hopefully the dogs end up with the 2 points this week, i think the tigers vs manly game will be a hard one to pick, as well as the titans vs sharks game

 

[Timmah]

I just hope our boys don't think they've already got the Pemriff game won :?

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

I just hope our boys don't think they've already got the Pemriff game won :?

agreed, for our benefit, although i dont think thats the case, they will be hungry for a win this week, considering the fact that yesterday they tried very hard and couldnt manage to win.

 

[Timmah]

They could be tired though

On one of the other games, I get the feeling Soufs are really going to take Parra to the cleaners :?

 

[Ice777]

I just hope our boys don't think they've already got the Pemriff game won :?

Unlike some of their supporters hey Timmah? ;-)

 

[aussies1st]

Warriors v Broncos is easily the Match of the round. If they can get 20k to Mt Smart, then nuke Auckland...seriously.

[Edit: Forgets Lockyer is out. Scratch that comment. Changes match of the round to Manly v Wests @ Leichardt]

Broncos v Warriors have a good rivalary going and with the Warriors in good nick I'm sure they could touch that much.

 

[Timmah]

What have supporters got to do with teams thinking they have the game won?

I don't think they have it won already. I think they are morals to win but that won't make it so ;-)

 

[thickos]

I don't know which will be *potentially* more depressing to watch on Saturday night - us get carved by Melbourne, or the return of the Iemma government

 

[innsaneink]

LOL...I remember rd.1 about 2003 Raiders beat us at Leichhardt on an election day, Raiders fans had collected a stack of Vote 1, Greens placards...wasnt funny at the time.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

I don't know which will be *potentially* more depressing to watch on Saturday night - us get carved by Melbourne, or the return of the Iemma government

Could be worse...could be Debnam.
