    They're too erratic and so much depends on how Nicho Hynes performs. They should sign DCE
    Maybe we should trade DCE to Souffs they are in need of a halfback. Cody and DCE now thats an ageing combination

      They looked a rabble today. Will they lift for DCE's final home game for the club?
      It is also his 350 game - i think Manly will finally lift for this game...hopefully
      I will still feel dirty cheering them on

        Aah thanks for explaining. That doesn’t surprise me. This year’s alleged ‘random’ draw does us zero favours. Playing the riff twice in the first 7 rounds and Storm twice in the last 7, no byes before each origin game, playing dolphins twice in Brisbane being just a few examples. The fact the tigers, eels, titans and knights are teams we have regularly beaten over the past decade, should of course automatically mean we only get to play each of those once doesn’t surprise me one bit. Other teams like the sharks, faiders, dogs and souffs etc get delivered soft draws however.

          All orchestrated by the NRL of course.

          That being said, Easts have donated 4-6 mp points to crap bottom 8 opponents this year. Win those and they'd potentially be sitting pretty in the top 4.
          1985: 1 try vs Parramatta, 1 try vs Manly, 1 try vs Wests, 2 tries vs Souffs
          1986: 2 tries vs Illawarra, 1 try vs Balmain, 2 tries vs Norths.

            We can throw Townsend in free of charge as a sweetener

            • We are now short-priced favourites to make the finals which I think is premature considering we still need to play Storm, and Sticky may choose to rest players in the final round vs Dolphins. Dolphins' other games are Manly and Titans.

                    Townsend as the 14 , premiership winning combination

                      Dictator V’Landys and his commrade commissioners in arms contract an overseas company to come up with the “ tv scheduled draw” yet one could think various drafts are put forward following many conversations so it fits the NRL Media Gaming partnership
                      agenda. Things are only to get worse once the dictator departs NSW Racing. It always amazes me how so called successful people are jealous of others success ie the dictator to Uncle Nick which is an underlying factor. He has the media onside to destabilise at any time - Spencer in Vegas just one example.
