I’d love to see Snake running the water and directing the defence.

And let me guess, those five posts were all yours? You need to become a moderator so that you can just delete all the ones you find of little value? Then Silvertails can go full facist Herr Woodsie. You'd probably be talking to yourself a lot though ..... and the so called PPC / numb nut brigade can set up a splinter forum where we can just write crap?

Yep and despite what Allan Langer's been doing for years, you can bet if Snake did it the NRL would jump all over it.
You know something people? I don't think we're a bad shot at winning on Saturday night. I actually think we might well do this one.

Fingers crossed we won’t get the rough end of the pineapple from the referee and we will be to strong for the Tigers.

That can be guaranteed. We will receive
Oh to have a collection of those players back.
We've just got to enjoy the journey back to greatness from here...

Looks like, statistically speaking, we are due a draw.
That can be guaranteed. We will receive
It’s the reason why I’m reluctantly picking them in the Tipping Comp rather than us.
You can just smell a stitch up!!
Greatly appreciated HM by those of us who would otherwise not see it. Interesting comments by Matty.

Not surprised at Fatty playing prop, he could fill in anywhere in the pack really. Though it was his first game there since Round 25 in 1983.
In 1987, Bozo played Martin Meredith at 5/8 for our first 5 rounds of the season (we had a bye in Rd.5) before Cliffy got his hands on the #6 jumper. And in that Round 7 game we actually lost 18-28 at Brookie to Souffs.

I was really interested to hear Matty's viewpoint as he had Dez as his coach.
If he has noticed a positive change since 2011 then strap yourselves in

The last time there was a draw in the NRL was Round 21 in 2016. The Titans and Sharks drew 18-18 at CBUS on a Monday night.
We will receive as most teams do and the teams that are good enough still win .That can be guaranteed. We will receive
We are going out their to win with no excuses . Fck the referees
You’ve got me. I’m on the bandwagon
Must be close to full !

I'll reserve judgement til after the few first rounds. Not that there's much des can really work with atm In terms of changes anyway. Other than perhaps Funa. I think we will go alright mate
