rivalry is truly back now. Games already sold out

Don't think that's anything to do with rivalry

 

[ben]

That bench!!!

 

[Sir Chadley]

Feeling a big win?

Not really. Just curious.

 

[Vichyssoise]

That bench!!!

It is indeed a thing of beauty. Full throttle for 80 minutes if we're fair dinkum.

 

[thedarkshark]

Sadly no. We were the only team to put 60 on them.
Surprisingly, only 2 other teams passed the 50 point mark.
So terrible, but not abysmal.
That doesn't mean they weren't hopeless. 1 win, 1 draw, 22 losses

* thank you wikipedia.

you made me look....in both games played that year against them, we won 98-4

I saw a Dragons jumper on the Esplanade two days in a row last week (before Anzac Day!).

First time that's happened in years.

They do have a bit of confidence back.

Did you flick a coin into his little cup?

Shark swim in water. Dragon breath fire. Water put out fire.

Sure thing.

 

[The Punisher]

I think we can crack 50 points if we play like we have been.
When was last time we did that?

All this talk in the tabloids about Flanno winning the 2016 for us. Wasn’t he the coach that brought in the peptides?

Sounds like you’ve had one too many spanners to the head champ

Cos he lit the fuse at his presser not 20 mins after being smashed by his opposition at the time to deflect an inept display by his team that game!

I’m hoping they get another lesson this weekend so Flanno can then focus on some ancient rivalry against the Rabbits where he had NO influence.

Whilst Flanno’s comments were a pure deflection so that there is no focus on his sides poor showing it’s not his fault the media have clung to it like a bad smell.

But SS is right in the fact that it’s irrelevant towards this game and the focus should be on the now (not the past).

 

[Blue_Eyes84]

I just hope the boys have this game on their mind, not the game the week after.

Nah - he knew nothing about it ....

Nor did he know we were cheating the salary cap...

Nor did he know he wasn't allowed to Email the club when he was serving a suspension....
