Can't believe we still don't have a thread for this.

Well, we do now.

Can we bounce back against the Tigers?

HB will probably say Sharks by 50.
Crazy Matt will give us a 10 line lecture on giving the opposition respect and not taking them lightly.
Dosit I'm sure will give us his usual prediction.
BlackWhiteBlue will probably have the most posts in this thread. Whether they have substance or not is another matter.
Snowman will gently berate any poster who does not agree with him.

And for your maximum entertainment, we'll have the usual wrist slitters and tanked up posters when it gets to the actual game.

Towards the end of the thread there will be post match breakdowns. Players who did well will get praised and those who didn't will be labelled as garbage.

All in all it will be an interesting thread. I can guarantee you of one thing though.

There will be no poetry. (Well maybe...)

10 lines Chad? I'm getting lazy if it's just 10 lines. You must be doing 10 lines if your thinking of giving us more poetry champ.

We can't keep that up forever, that is my concern dropping the games we should win at home, if/when the away game wins stop flowing we are under more pressure than we should be on the ladder.
We also can't assume that we can just idle our way into the top 4/top 8 and expect to win our away games finals because we will be "up for them". At some point it has to let up and some team get's it over us (not that I want it to).

Like the Titans game, anything could happen this weekend, Tigers have been strong starters since Cleary took the rains, I hope if they get out to a lead we don't start playing silly panic footy. Another loss would undo all the great work we did to get those big away wins against fancied opposition.

I see this playing out a bit like the game against the tigers at Campbelltown last year with a bit of back and forth points but ultimately a win by 6 points or so to us. A loss would really bring us back to the pack with the congested part of the 8 so for the clubs sake I hope they sort their **** out.

I'm still dirty about last weekends deplorable effort, been tough watching other teams play with more heart and motivation than we showed.

Totally agree mate - I was just trying to challenge Chad for the SF poetry championship. We were ordinary against the Titans, Knights and Dragons. The players need to get their heads out of their a$$es when playing against teams lower down the ladder.

It's good that put this game at a small ground with a loyal following, because the Sydney FC semi final will hurt attendances. Sadly I can't bloody go to either.

We'll lose this game if we don't play footy.
