Don't worry we will beat the Penny Panthers for you and help our little brothers out with the help of Lord Todd Smith.

Titans not in the finals so I'm confused here.

you talking about the dolphins or something?

They are the inbred cousins.

Melbourne?

 

[JayPee]

Melbourne?

Weird because that's what we call you guys.

Na not Melbourne. I know they are your daddy. Been laying wood deep for 14 years. Police should be called.

Melbourne kinda cheated us out of 2 grand finals after that though with highly illegal teams that the scummy ****s still celebrate.

 

[Foordy]

I ****en hate cowboys but If warriors lose then can you please win.

I desperately want the Cowboys to win ... I really don't care who we play next week ... I just want the minor premiership.

It's painful to say though.

 

[The Who]

I've long been a believer in 'hoodoos' (not the Gurus) and 'bogey' teams, although it defies logic. Melbourne is definitely Brisbane's bogey club. Last night, after checking the teams, I switched my tip to the Broncos, thinking if ever the hoodoo would be broken it would be in this match against Melbourne's reserve grade team. (yes, I know the Broncos had five or so top players out, but the Storm had about 11 out!).
My team, Manly, has the wood over Cronulla and Canberra. Regardless of the quality of the team nor their positions on the ladder Manly will beat these clubs in four out of five matches. Sadly, it's the reverse when we play St-George-Illawarra.
I can't explain why hoodoos develop, but I do know that the Bronco need to avoid playing the Storm in a finals match or you guys will end the season disappointed.

This guy would know, I think it's only just rolled over to 2006 in Townsville.

You guys are going to lose your minds when the iPhone finally drops.

I dont live in Townsville. I value my possessions and

All these streaks have to end at some point and when it matters, we still beat them in the GF. I'm confident our best is better than theirs, just have to play smarter than we normally do against them.

 

[Finbar]

I think you miscounted as we barely had 5 of our top players in. We were without Walsh, Reynolds, Carrigan, Mam, Farnworth, Staggs, Cobbo, Walters, Haas, Capewell. That's 10/13 starters missing and Kobe Hetherington was missing from the bench.

Fair enough. I stand corrected. But I'll raise you with Grant, Hughes, Munster, Welsh, Warbick, Nelson, Meaney, Seve, Coates, Kamikamica, Loioro, Katoa... did I miss anyone? That's 12 from 13.
Brisbane were heavy favourites. You were playing at home in front of a packed Suncorp. You had motivation, playing for the minor premiership. Melbourne had nothing substantial to play for.
The hoodoo strikes. It's the only possible explanation, or do you have another?

The teams were even, Kevvie was out coached. Every player in the Storm squad plays to Bellamy's standard and their scrubs don't look out of place at NRL level when they get asked to step in and do a job.

The only players that would've thought about the Hoodoo last night were Oates, Riki, Palasia and Flegler.

we sold our soul for the 06 premiership. it's about the only reasonable explanation.

No, that was in 2008 when we failed to discipline players accordingly because they were stars, and it was finals.

**** that was an electric atmosphere though. ****ting ending aside easily one of the best.

Count again:

Walsh
Reynolds
Mam
Billy
Patty
Haas
Capewell
Cobbo
Staggs
Herbie
(Mariner was unavailable to come in due to injury)

That's 10 out (11 if you count Mariner)... Not 5
