[Mark from Brisbane]

I hope they are so angry about today that they absolutely destroy the Goons next week.

 

[BOZO]

St George Illawarra are a Schizophrenic side . They are Great one moment and Gross the next
They are also our bogy team in Wollongong
Both teams are backing up from disappointing losses
Both coaches will have them fired up for a Big game
On Potential we should win
How we turn up is another thing all together
We cannot turn up again and keep turning the ball over to the opposition

We should be looking to destroy them alright but I'm not sure anger is the right emotion to carry into a game of footy

No problems, lets just change anger into hunger and ditch the emotion for motivation, problem solved.

Not anymore Bozo, we finally got the monkey of our back and beat them at the Gong last season.

Angry at themselves I should have added

Agree with this. I know we won there last year but we always seem to struggle in Wollongong. And as fired up as we may be, so will they. Flanno would love to put one over us.

Josh A escapes any charge from yesterday
So free to play this week

For some reason some teams do have bogy teams and The Illawarra dragons are ours
Since 1998 we played the new joint venture 34 times and they beat us 22 times and we only won 12 times
Similar with the Eels as they had a superior win record against us on their home ground

Having said this , Records are meant to be broken when teams play well enough and eliminate their errors.
Against the Eels we made 18 errors handing over Possessions to the Opposition to Punish us and that they did .

That was an interesting situation.I didn’t see anything wrong with the Aloiai tackle and if he had not snapped back at the 3 Eels players that confronted him,I wondered if Manly would have received the penalty.Nathan Brown,of all people,tried to pull Aloiai away.Obviously the Bunker thought otherwise hence the penalty and put on report

 

[davohan123]

If you are thinking of catching the train down on Saturday to WIN Stadium please note due to trackwork

is taking place on the South Coast Line with buses replace trains between Wollongong and Sutherland, and between Central and Bondi Junction. You may need to catch a replacement bus to complete your journey.

Sorry, thought it was the Eels, still in my brain from yesterday.

We actually do play dragons June 16th ( Sunday at 2pm ) at Brookvale oval this year fyi

 

[Remy]

Sipley back. Talau back and hopefully named. Would like to see GCKT come in for Lawton.

I don't care about bogey side or bogey ground. Who cares about all that. We have to absolutely demolish this bottom 4 side if we are serious this year and if this loss against Parra has really angered us. Show it to us. Demolition job. 40+.

Yes as I said , bring the anger ( at how they stuffed up the last game ).

 

[Disco]

My thoughts

Toff in for Wadell
Talau in for Veaga ( though could cop Paulo, either way)
And I'd like bench spark for Croker maybe Humphries for Lawton but again not stressed if it is Lawton
