Titians looked good today Mac - you must have been excited watching them go round. Thats two good wins in a row and todays one was without a couple of your superstars. Well played. They are performing much better than I thought they would this year.


Yes mate they played ok today still not at their best,I'm sure Scotties team smashed us last week

So hows everyones form so far this season?

At the start of this thread and the season I had

Storm, Dogs, Knights, Cowboys, Rabbits as my top 4 with Roosters and Manly close. I wrote the Titians off (Mac must be laughing at me now).

Clubs Pts
1 Roosters 34
2 Rabbitohs 34
3 Sea Eagles 29
4 Storm 29
5 Sharks 26
6 Bulldogs 24
7 Raiders 24
8 Knights 23

Basically I have overcooked on the Cowboys - last night they showed what they can do when they want to though - its amazing how many times teams seem to win once the coach is gone and under-estimated how good the Roosters would be. I thought the Knights would be slightly better performers as well - maybe I thought super man Wayne is better than he is or maybe Tinklers cashflow issues have affected the club more than I thought............anyway with just a handful of games left It should be a good finish to the season with some great match ups coming.

The rabbits need these losses. Yet their supporters are practising the how to save someone from choking manoeuvre atm. Scotty your goal is much easier to achieve than the bunnies winning the gf lol. Discuss hahaha

Plus they should have never been allowed back into the comp anyway


Pfffft choking HA

the difference between linda lovelace and st george is
linda never choked on the big ones

Fark that we never should have been kicked out.
We don't need to merge with any other club to stay in the comp either.

I will put a lazy $50 on Ted's humour for the win. They played the tigers,sorry sp but the local netball team could beat them atm. Looking forward to the tigers vs eels blockbuster


Mate I hear we are changing our strip, will be dressed as the bye next week, guaranteed improvement in form

You can't already taken by the Eels........they are having a rough trot, as a Sea Eagles fan I really feel for them as well

Getting to the business end now Friday night Storm V Rabbits looks like a cracker, would have liked to see full strength Rabbits but injuries happen. Rabbits have Bulldogs, Manly, Melbourne & Roosters in their run home will be interesting to see how they go & how team play against them. In defense I assume you simply stand Reyonlds between the Burgess boys but in attack I think you will see teams rush him with gang tackles.

Roosters didn't seem to miss SBW which is worrying. If the Roosters win this year will SBW go back to Rugby to try & win Olympic gold? Possibly have RWC, NRL Preimership with 2 clubs, RL World Cup & Olympic Gold?

Bulldogs looked the goods with the big boys up front coming into form. Pritchard, Kasiano, Graham, Eastwood all in form and no injuries

I am hearing GI could have played this week but Bunnies don't want to push it.
Which means should be sweet for Manly game next week.
Sutton back in 3 weeks.

Manly is probably just another loss that you have to have Scotty. You will thank us for it later I am sure

Lots of pressure on Reynolds the next few weeks. If he can stand up and take some more control (with no Sutton) it might just be what gets him into the Origin next yr.

Not wrong Ted (2nd paragraph)
The next few weeks is a great test for Bunnies.
They certainly will be battle hardened for semi's (hopefully no more injuries).
We don't require any more losses to learn from.
Btw is Manly game at Central Coast ? Is that another home game we give away ?

That's a negative on the Bunnies v Manly at ANZ.
It's always at Gosford.

Stand corrected - either way should be a cracker of a game. Has Crocker been playing recently? He has lots of big match experience, haven't liked him since he smashed Brett Stewart just after half-time in 2007 GF & sent him into la-la land ans was a passenger after that.(Lead with his head as Stewart took a bomb)

Sam Burgess has been unstoppable since he has been playing a bit wider rather than bashing it up the middle as a front rower, that's more young George's role which he is doing well.

Even though they are down on troops I reckon the Bunnies have a great chance against the Storm if they get a role on through the forwards. Smith & Cronk can struggle if their pack is going backwards. Constant flicking between footy & cricket Friday night

So if the tigers are not already struggling enough money wise,they now want to pay for three coaches next year.
Unless to my utter disgust that Tim.Sheens coaches the dragons which is stronger than a rumour.

The red v have bought we'll.for next year and . Would really like.to see.pricey be able to mould the team he wants. Go the storm

I think the reason he can be punted so easily is that Potter is on a 12mth into 36mth contract - so they can renew his present deal for a further 2yrs shortly if they decide to....otherwise it will not cost them anything to sack him. Not really fair given he has not had a chance to build his own squad or see the new juniors coming on - they have some amazing talent coming through the ranks but several of them are just too small still. The reason they got rid of a lot of the talent 12mths ago was to keep their promising youngsters around. Next yr should see them improve big time I reckon.
