    In fairness to the Dargons though, there really hasn’t been any quality halves up for sale as of late (aside from DCE, but even then that’s a stretch nowadays). Then there is the task of trying to convince players to join them, which is probably the hardest part of the equation.
    They’ve signed that young Atkinson from Cronulla who has wraps on him from when he’s filled in for Hynes. Interesting to see if he gets picked over Flanno next season.

      They look pretty fragile at the moment. I reckon they need 2 wins to be safe.

      If they finish equal points to us they could be in trouble.

      • The Chooks have to win 8 games in a row to win the comp.
        Like Ive said in the past the Chooks can beat any team on their day but we wont win 8 in a row.
        For me it's been a fantastic season & blooding Savala, Toia, Nawaqanitawasa, Foketi, Ioelu, Steep plus Billy Smith & Wong playing many games has been very enjoyable. Whyte has been the biggest surprise for me.
        Who saw it coming that those guys would be so good after losing 6 top notch players from last year.
        Work mates have commented to me about what a top team the Chooks are. People have changed their tune on the Chooks because of the guys we have developed & not bought

            What has that got to do with it?
            Yes or no answer
            Do you think we will win 8 games in a row & win the comp?

            • no doubt we're unlikely to win 8 in a row but you never know. in fact, we're unlikely to make the semis, but you never know. one game at a time. we're a fair chance to do the dogs this week

                Nobody expected us to do it in 2002. I would have said No chance back then as I think now. But you never know.
                Personally I don't expect us to make the Top 8 but if we do I expect us to go close to winning the whole thing all being fair with injuries and 50/50 calls.

                    It comes down to the last round against Souths. If we win we make the 8 & Souths get the spoon or we lose & dont make the 8 & Souths dont get the spoon.

                        Never liked the bloke so there was an element of bias. I'm over it now! I can see clearly now the rain has gone.
                        Geez, thanks for that. I've now got an ear-worm!

                            Agreed. There's a bloody brilliant version of it on youtube somewhere. I'll find the link and tag you tomorrow.

                              The nemesis is waiting in the final round with something to prove. After a disappointing year, what better than to snooker Easts at the death. Trell's impressive return on the weekend was ominous and Walker and Humphreys will be back in a couple of weeks. Hopefully a finals appearance will not hinge on that game.
