[Mark from Brisbane]

Yes HM it def IS the Dragons death dance this time, PMSL at the thought.

 

[NYEagle]

Well, at least we will know Saturday night the number that needs to be achieved,
I expect the Tigers will win Saturday because Saints are a joke, so if the Tigers can somehow give us 30 points, I expect the shackles to come off Sunday and Toovey will just give the team "a license to play footy" and just throw the ball around, offload, whatever.
Play two structured sets to start each half to get into the grind, then just throw caution to the wind. Nothing to lose.
Lets hope Manly are given that opportunity.

Win big Robbie

Eels 1 point win over the Raiders will see Manly finish 9th.

so if the Tigers can somehow give us 30 points, I expect the shackles to come off Sunday and Toovey will just give the team "a license to play footy" and just throw the ball around, offload, whatever.

Will be interesting if the Tiges do get up. However I suspect the key to a very big win in the NRL these days is not throwing the ball around, it is maintaining discipline, staying in the arm wrestle, holding possession and grinding down the opposition.
Once that has occurred it's not uncommon to see the leaders put on 18 points in the last 10 minutes. 'Throwing the ball around' is more likely to lose possession and lead to points for the other team, making the job infinitely harder.

Robbie and Benji have history - so lets hope that Robbie wants to put one over his old mate

 

[Fluffy]

Tigers by 50

 

[The Who]

And how are we expected to beat the Sharks? Put our Under 20s into 1st grade?

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

We already beat them a few weeks ago, we can do it again. Please.

 

[Fluffy]

Sharks despise the goons so will tank the game in order to piss them off if the tigpies win

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Turbo Jr to 1st grade might help. The Under 20s spot is assured. We need a tall Concorde out on one wing at least. At the moment we've got a C-130 (Tafua) on one wing and the footballing equivalent of the now-departed DHC Caribou (Hiku) on the other.

 

[Fluffy]

Needs a very short run up to take off??

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Well in the Caribou's case, anecdotal evidence suggests that they could fly backwards in a strong headwind.

 

[HappilyManly]

Tigers Sponsors are not happy about Farrah's sacking

Fire Up Robbie and smoke Benji's Drags

 

[Captain Moondog]

The Manly Warringah Widowmakers....

Lote is stoking the fire under Robbie

Radio windbag Alan Jones was less than complimentary about JTs coaching skills too. Seems like a club in crisis.

Good STOL aircraft the Caribou.. Good for a few pistons through the cylinders every takeoff....

Knights have been pretty good for the past 3-4 rounds! Panthers for the spoon!

I hope they play like that anyway!
