Finals week 1

[SeaEagleRock8]

We'll have had 2 days more than our opponents to prepare, no matter who wins tomorrow. Hope the Tigpies and Gummies smash each other to bits, haha.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

I was wrong so far and will eat my humble pie !!

Hows that pie tasting brother? 😉 the dogs are in good form and are unpredictable so its hard to watch any video on them.

Playing the tigers or sharks next week at brookie sounds great to me lets hope that's how it will work out...

So are we playing either of them next sunday?

 

[Chip and Chase]

Not sure who I'd rather out of Tigers and Sharks. Our record is good against the Sharks but I think they would be the tougher finals opponent with their experienced pack.

 

[brad]

Parra by 30.

We'd even beat the Bronco's with all our outs.

Its a joke they are even in the 8, they have nothing.

They are in the 8 because the refs and NRL lift them in there . It's a f.....g disgrace. -60 against and in the 8 , enough already.

So are we playing either of them next sunday?

Not sure which day but we'll play Sharks or tigers and they don't play until tomorrow, while we've been recovering since Friday. So, 2 extra days for us.

We will be long outsiders regardless of who we play, but we can beat either of them if we play well (for a change). Just look at the Broncos today, total ****e, whereas they've been playing quite well the previous couple of weeks. It will be who performs on the day.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Of course the Dogs had an advantage today in that they were not penalised constantly by the refs. We won't have that luxury, and many of the tries we've given up this year come straight after conceding a penalty (usually a dodgy one).

Spot on. **** i hate the NRL. The most uneven, biased, corrupt, agenda driven game in the world.

 

[XV-1]

How can a team with more losses than wins make the finals?

Makes a mockery of the finals system.

[Eaglehauser]

Unbelievably we got the same scenario for week 1 and 2 that we were hoping for by finishing 5th, makes me glad we dropped to 6th now and avoid faiders week 2.

Hoping for a turn in form with finals a whole different ball game.

Week 1 - tigpies/gummies (to be drained and with short turnaround)
Week 2 - souffs (We’ll do 2013 number on them again)

Only difference now is we potentially play drizzle in the PF. We did it before so who knows!!!

 

[The Royal Soup]

Of course they give us the night spot on a Saturday

The corruption rolls on from the NRL

That is just poor
2 Sydney teams playing and you them that time slot
They nrl also know we just can’t play at night this year.
Whoever we play will be licking there lips.

 

[Mataiforever]

hope the tigers win, they just dont have the same class and experience as sharks in finals footy... sharks are a threat and have a lot of big game players. I think even with our depleted side we would get a fairly easy win vs tigers but sharks im worried about

We play 7:50 Sat night

The semi graveyard shift

That'll do bring the peasants on.

Yes but we have played most our games on a Saturday night so it will suit us 😉

 

[mickqld]

Yep we wouldn't want a full house on a Sunday arvo at a suburban ground would we. Fuk Greenturd what an asshole. Wouldn't even give us the Sat arvo at the thought it might suit us. Why doesn't it just fuking well rain next Sat night too just to make it a full house of being fuked over.
