Relax.. we've got this sorted

Flano predicted this. He's been saying a side will win it from outside the 4 for weeks now. He wanted to challenge himself this year

The NRL has defended its decision to afford Cameron Smith and Johnathan Thurston a testimonial game in next year's pre-season, releasing a 10-point criteria including off-field and integrity considerations that indicates only Billy Slater would also be eligible among current players.

Yep, making up rules as they go, nothing new.

What a joke the NRL is.

3 hour flog fest

3 hour flog fest

yep. hahaha

Seriously, they should have like a farewell game for certain players where they get a bonus in % of revenue or something. But seriously an entire game where 2 guys bank the lot, thats incredible. It makes all the salary cap drama and all the rest of it look so ****ing stupid. Once again the highest paid have their hands out and the battlers of the sport just get the scraps, except for Ben Hunt

 

[dylan the villian]

Guarentee i wont watch that flog

 

[hitman124]

So, assuming the big what if of us making it to the prelim, would we play Storm, or the winner of 2 v 3?

NRL has opened a can of worms that they will swiftly close once the golden boys palms have been greased

 

[Tatus]

We didn't last time.

Rd 10 - Sharks 14 Merge 10... how could you not know that, it was pretty much the nail in the coffin for their steady decline down the ladder.

Dugan and Widdop were out. Widdop means everything to Saints. It won't be easy as you think. Ireckon their forwards are stronger then ours now. Vaughan, Russell, Thompson. DeBelin, Frizzell.

Of the potential opponents the only team i feel we will beat are the cowboys

 

[Tatus]

50 says we will make the semis. whos down?

 

[CHOGM]

I reckon our year ends like this.
Beat knights
Beat Cowboys
Big upset beat chooks (who lose to broncos in first week IMO)
Then as lowest ladder team still alive I think we'll play the storm for a spot in the gf. I can't see us beating them, but we certainly know we can. And they'd hate facing us on the way to the gf.

 

[sharkgaz]

Anyone keen to play Manly at some stage in the finals? I think that last minute win last week has given them a new lease of life. They have real confidence.

Manly are our bogey team. And they are on fire tonight.Penrith could be in big trouble

 

[Thresher]

We could end up facing Penrith the way this game is going.

 

[Nulla Boy]

Cowboys or Penrith. Beaten both this year, no reason we can't again.

 

[Sir Chadley]

Yep. If Dragons win tomorrow that's the way it will be.
