Yeah, I can inflict the same amount of pleasure and pain on myself by staying at home and masturbating with a cheese grater. And it doesn't cost me $90. (Although Mercurochrome costs more than it used to…)

I always wanted purple to be cool as a kid, mum just kept buying red 😤
 
Yeah I’d love to be optimistic and it’s sad I’m not against the Tigers of all teams, but I honestly think they’ll just want it more and get it done. Remember late last season they got us, something similar to that.

0/3 at the new Allianz too, quite the record. DCE didn’t exactly have his best audition at his future home ground a few weeks back, maybe he can try and get something going this time.

Hope i’m wrong, not that a win against a bottom team will do anything at all for us, but I’d like to at least get that winning feeling again 🤷‍♂️

The Tigers aren't the Tigers of the last three years. In the last month they've beaten the Bulldogs and the Roosters. As for the Tigers being a bottom team? We've only one won game more than them...

I think the sad fact is the Captain couldn’t give a **** and is playing on 4 of 8 cylinders , most of our forwards are out injured , our superstar fullback is in preservation mode and most of the team ( not all ) honestly couldn’t give a flying ****.

A team on the improve , no longer guaranteed spooners , starting to play together & having a real crack.

Yep , could get very ugly , we of course hope not but I’m bracing myself.

A month ago I said we’d win 5 of the last 8, week 1 we beat the Storm, since then the wheels have fallen off and we could well lose 7 of 8.

Oh how the mighty have fallen
 
I am not overly hopeful against the Tigers , fairly well balanced side and apparently have been taking it up to all sides for some time now but Manly had a decent dig against them not that long ago so maybe some hope they can lift again sufficiently .
Bula did not play last time and i rate him and their halfs look impressive
Sure that Brooks will still have a go but not much benefit if D C E stays on general leave mode
Burbo back will help and T K O , Lodge starting quite well , followed by some more bustling Bully play, could even swing things in Manly 's favor
Who knows , even Turbo may be able to make a positive difference again from the back and Koula given plenty of opportunities in attack to do his thing scoring wise

Love your positivity , fingers crossed
 
Storm winning last night has helped us a lot, you might think it's got noting to do with us but think again. With 4 teams still has a chance to make the top4, Pants, Warr, Bronc, Shark.

- If Bronc win they'll b 2pts from 4th and if Warr lose they'll b 1pt from 4th, with 2 easy games for them to go and a tough last round at home they can smell the top4. Bronc v Phin

- Dogs will want to win to keep up with the Raids & Storm for the Minor Premiership.
Dogs v Chook

Do we want it bad enough it's up to us now, mathematically even 3wins might b enough depend on other results.

If we stumble into the semis, it will feel like we've made the Grand final...lol.
