21 MAN SQUAD v DRAGONS

[Easts75]

I’m a bit like you, if we can finish 4th and play the Storm, I give us a fair chance of beating them. They don’t seem to be on top of their game at the moment, and semi final football is a little different . Here’s hoping.

I would be amazed if we stayed within 20 points of Storm.....and that's best case

[bondi paul]

So Sutton version 2 as ref and Klown in the box sharing the NRL love.

[Lydon]

A few so called experts in the media really giving the Dragons a chance this week,especially with the return of Duffy to fullback..

Hope we are on our game defensively to combat anything they throw at us..

Go Easts

Hold the bloody ball and don’t make forced, low percentage passes on tackle 3!

realistically saints are unlikely to make the 8 but if they win 2 out of the next 3 they'll give themselves a chance. it's a gf for them but seems like they've gone into reverse. still, we'll want to play well to win

Or pass slighty behind a player from a scrum attack move/ throw a pass into touch/ run towards the sideline and attempt a flick pass back inside etc - there were a few opportunities missed

After Chook 11th Dragon (18) play Cowboy and Rabbit -PD - 108 - they will think they are still a chance as Rabbit might keep a few in the Burrow last game- Ditto for Shark as Storms may have a few under the umbrella in the round 25 game.

22 points just might make the 8 - for and against could well come into the equation as 7th to 13th all in the red for PD (Points Differential )

Highlighted games those teams should win ? - non highlighted ones are games they will need to win to make the 8

7th Knight (22) look like they will wrap up 7th with 2 wins - Play Bulldog/Titan and Bronco - PD -137

8th Titan (20) - play Storms/Knight and Warrior - PD - 32

9th - Raider (20) -play Sea Eagle/ Warrior and Chook -PD - 84

10th - Shark (18) - play Tiger / Bronco and Storms -PD - 62

12th - Warrior (18) - play Bronco/Raider and Titan -PD -113

13th - Tiger (18) - play Shark/Panther and Bulldog - PD - 132

here's a curly one for you - what do you call the storm?

Storms - they have an S added

got every angle covered

[King Salvo]

got every angle covered

As there are a few spare "S" from the other teams the Storm get one to become Storms - Kind of like the player Loan System used in overseas major sports and now somewhat in the NRL - It Won't have to go back to it's Parent Team for the Finals though

why not stormsssssssssssssss?

[King Salvo]

why not stormsssssssssssssss?

They get enough of a leg up now with their "game tactics" so only 1 "S" for them - some would say they shouldn't get any - like for the Soup on Seinfeld - No S for Storm perhaps

[Bahrain Rooster]

The opposition's plan is to bait him and it's worked splendidly. Young and dumb atm.
I've mentioned it before but they should roll the dice and start DSF rather than have him come off the bench.
Gotta get him using all that energy and enthusiasm from the get-go rather than him bottling it up on the bench and then trying too hard or overcooking once he comes on.

I would not be opposed to this at all. It’s worth a shot.
