This rain

[themanonthehill]

They are predicting this rain to keep up for months

If so peeps it is going to be a long f**king year

When was the last game we won in the rain ... dogs last yr drizzled ever so light at the end

I can remember tons of sh*t performances in the wet ... manly in 04 at brookvale and manly last year at Leichhardt come to mind

 

[gurstar]

In 2005 i think we were good in the wet in NZ we played them at lancaster and won 24-6 i remember it was pissing rain .
not to sure how many we have won since then in the rain though.

 

[themanonthehill]

Yeah that'd be about it i think and even then it was a struggle til 10 late tries
The draw has been kind the first 6 weeks with 4 day games and the 2 night games - one is in townsville so that counts as a day game as it will be dry and warm-ish and the penrith game is a mon night and the sun would have just set by a 7pm ko so shouldn't be too bad

Rain will kill us however

The rain used to kill us because we had next to no genuine tackle busters/line breakers in the side. We now have a bigger side which is potentially chock full of tackle busters/line breakers, the rain won`t worry us this season should it happen.

True Vish.

Apparently Cherry has the boys actually lifting weights and eating big this year. Getting steamrolled is hopefully a thing of the past

 

[themanonthehill]

The rain f**ks us because we throw it about like the harlem globetrotters .. and supercoach shines hasn't sussed out a plan b yet

 

[super_coach]

Its all about field postion in the wet, and with a crap kicking game we will get belted. Lets hope our man Head gets better real quick

 

[themanonthehill]

Or maybe coach shines and sizzler have come up with a cunning plan to bamboozle the opposition ... morris grubbers on the 3rd tackle when we reach the 1/2 way line ... they are visionaries

:lol: If it's going to rain alot then they should use sprinkers at training instead of the flying fox so they get used to playing in the wet :lol:

 

[madunit]

It's only going to rain like this up til the first week of April.

 

[themanonthehill]

So should only f**k us til tound 4 against she sides we should belt
Saints are garbage
Cowboys no thurston garbage
Dogs garbage
Canberra garbage
penriff garbage
soufs garbage

 

[madunit]

And the Tigers are known for jumping to the top of the ladder very early on in the season, before firming to top 6 favourites before bowing out of the race with 2 weeks to go before the finals.

I reckon we'll get through the rainy period just fine.

 

[themanonthehill]

We have a pretty easy run the first 6 weeks:
The saints aren't a patch on what they were - think they'll finish 11th ish
Cowboys are sh*t without thurston - no 2 ways about it
Dogs are in turmoil - no backs the last 3 yrs and now no forwards
Canberra are garbage and early april won't be too cold
Penrith lack quality
Soufs = asotasi and 16 spastics

Thanks Alan Wilkie.

Mike bailey is now on channel 9 after his towelling by Joe Hockey

 

[themanonthehill]

I think penriff and manly will have us well covered for bad crowds
As will easts
And canterbury who will come near last
We should open ok which will help crowds

 

[gallagher]

We'd want to be going white hot to get a big crowd at CS or LO if its p1ssing down.

 

[themanonthehill]

CS can't get a crowd on a sunny sunday to be fair

Wonder if noyce consulted rudd on welfare weeks so we'd be a hope of getting more that 14,000 to the f**king sh*thole

 

[Ninja]

What are these 'welfare weeks' you so often speak of Mulli?

Are you saying that the dole only gets paid on certain weeks?

 

[themanonthehill]

Aren't commonwealth payments fortnightly ?
This all came about because the wests lot refuse to believe that the scheduling of govt payments are a factor in the scheduling of WT games at CS
That is from a WT board member's mouth

I was also asked elsewhere on the interweb to `divulge source or get banned'

As I said this person was a WT board member and is still involved at one half of the JV partners and is one smart cookie
