  • Replay of Eels vs Dragons 2009 qualifying final.on now on Fox on now. Worth looking at Matt Cooper.
  • You can see I typed that in a hurry only 7 minutes to go. Prefer this team to now as I like every player back then.
    • Hayne should watch it :)

  • APART FROM 9,10 AND 12, IT IS A FAIRLY EVEN MATCH UP ON PAPER

    This is a piss take - right?

    6 - worlds apart, Whiddop will cream Dozey

    4 - not even in the same universe. Lafai makes Jayne look like a flower girl.

    1 - Dufty is so fast he can turn off the light and be in bed before it goes out.

    7 - depends on which Ben Hunt turns up to play.

    Any team that has Jason Nightingale on the bench has way too much talent to burn.

    St George will simply be picking any spot to run tries through - middle - edge or out wide.

    • I prefer Guth to Dufty but apples and oranges

      I prefer Hayne over Lafai even on current form

      I also prefer Moses to Hunt - even this year

      I would prefer Widdop over Norman even though Norm has more skills

      As a team the Dragons are killing us

      but on paper I reckon it is fairly even - apart from 9,10,12

  • Timmy’s pass was only 3m forward, lol !!!!

    • No it wasn’t
    • Wrong. Forward pass and traveling forward from pass release point are two different things. 

      • I’m perfectly aware of that Bob, but I maintain he threw it forward
