when is Villa due back?

 

[Ozbash2]

Supposed to be back in a couple of weeks, the end of May at the latest.
Be good to see how he goes, just hope he has a haircut beforehand.

With Fletcher out of the game, I think we'll do better than expected.

Warrior 32 - Bunnies 14

Hope he has a haircut? I hope he doesn't, that 'fro is massive, it make's Mason last year look like he had a number 2!!

 

[imported_Brook]

yeah I like the hair lol

Last year Jeff Lima from balmain had an afro even bigger than that, looked like tina turner (although he usually had it back for games) but this year he's cut it off and died it a very stupid shade of blonde

no fuzzy wuzzies in the mighties ?

hope he is right soon, the team is missing his work rate quite badly.

It says a lot when I say that releasing Villasanti was the stupidest thing the wests tigers ever did

 

[imported_Docker]

More stupid than their earliest choices of coach?

I don't think so.

The constitutent clubs were no better.
Balmain made a cracker with that fool Jones.

I feel sorry for the Warriors, they will flog Souths, that is no contest, the problem is they may cop injuries just to play a team that cannot compete with the rest.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

True, last time we played the Bunnies at Ericcson we lost Jones in the first half then just scraped in. Luckily it was only for three games and we won them all but it was not a good feeling seeing your star player go down.

 

[imported_Brook]

Ok maybe not as stupid as the first two coaches but pretty close to it

Villa will, barring serious injury, play for nz one day (unless he chooses to make himself available for australia, if he does that i'd say he'll make soo and be a decent chance to go further) and would have been the clubs first real rep player

He also loved the club and didn't really want to move, he was released so that lamb could bring in trent runciman from the bulldogs

It may not be as bad as the coaching choices but you gotta admit in a club with a history of dumb moves it ranks among the top

38 -16. 8 tries to 3 Played in rain so heavy handling was next to impossible.

Another good win for the Warriors, pity about the weather though. Took my camera this week but after the first couple of shotsit was raining too hard, I had to put it away for the rest of the game.I would have needed one of those diving cases to keep it dry yesterday.

A solitary bunnies fan, confident he will not get beaten up by his fellow bunnies fans as he is the only one there

 

[ozbash]

ooooooooohhh, joe d. a westie eh ? spose you got one of those corporate box type things

good pix mate, that bunny fan was there last year too, he copped a lot of crap last year......

 

[imported_JoeD]

No son, I'm an east stand man through and through, been there since the beginning. Don't know where you'd get the idea from.

The stairs in the background are the ones north of the main stand.
As for that bunnies fan, I don't want to say too much as he is a relative (through marriage). Lets just say that he was happy when it started raining 5 minutes into the match and he could put his rain coat on.

I would be at all their games too if I lived in Sydney...but there in spirit....mate Souths fans are everywhere. We will come back and haunt you all one day..eat your words..hehe!
