Like i say now : No

They're a shit club with shit fans and have absolutely zero chance of making it to the grand final.

If they win the premiership you can have both my testicles.

ya coz i was so serious

 

[u-borat]

Even though i go for the Knights, i think its the Eagles turn to shine.

eagles are teh masters of the choke.
they'll fail again.

Souths paying $4.35 to beat Eels 1-12
Cronulla paying $3.75 to beat Manly 1-12
Melbourne paying $2.30 to beat Wests 13+
Get on it imo

Hrmm i don't know whats wrong with Dragons in first 20minutes vs to the Canberra. Gaziner at fullback seems not good today. Hopefully we try to get it back!

 

[wuddie]

gasnier and cooper make a good centre pairing because gaz is experts at attack and coops a great defender. but as far as i've seen, gaz has never been good at positional play at defence. look at how inglis palmed him off at soo, twice.

this week has been tough to pick, roosters were at $1.07 odds, and loss. the depleted knights beat in form panthers, souths won again, dragons were just disappointing, and i think dogs only decide to win when everyone has given up on them. thank god we can rely on manly to chalk up a win.

 

[NorthRiversMatt]

Well my thought is Dragons will be in GF vs Manly.

 

[Charizard]

Yeah roosters looked shit then really good then shit again, then slightly better in the dying minutes.

Should have won really.

 

[u-borat]

it was a shit match, the defence on both sides was horrendous.

unaccpetable for the roosters.

gasnier's press conference
http://nrl.com/News/Latest/tabid/10244/default.aspx?id=51966

he spoke of increase earning for the players and he stressed the fact that he is not greedy. when you talk money, greed is a word you cannot avoid being associated with. i think he is greedy, i think every player who moves to another club because he was offered a higher salary is greedy. so i think mason is out for glory, rather than money.

but they have the right to be greedy - it is a natural human characteristic. a good 1st grader has about 10-15 yrs to make his earning from footy. after that, they go back to being a normal working class man. if they can find a regular job, good on them. but what if they don't? the bottom line is, the nrl needs to be more competitive with its salaries against afl and union, otherwise nrl will die out.

 

[NorthRiversMatt]

That sounds stupid to happen.

 

[stazi]

rabbits will win it all. 4 in a row.

 

[wuddie]

the chooks, on fire.

rabbitohs back to form, thank god.

the only teams you can bank on are eagles and storm to win, and cowboys to lose.

Didn't both the Rabittohs and Roosters both lose today?

 

[ledzeppelin]

Yes they did
Roosters have turned in fail post Origin
We've got Manly next week too
Should be depressing

+1.

for those of you who didn't get the sarcasm, when souths are 'in form', they tend to lose (ie. back to their old ways), as oppose to every other team who tends to win.

Funny joke. Many lols.


No. Really.

EDIT: Their old ways were actually winning, you just weren't around then. You are now though, unforunately.
