Hope Springs Eternal

It is not going to be a walk in the park for any side in the Nines. Any side can win it if things go their way. I think the Eels will have trouble against the Dogs in their first match. I hope, not but it has happened before. The Dogs took the Storm down to the wire in a competitive game in Perth a couple of years ago----should have won that first game of the season with a team of young blokes. I will hold my breath the whole game!

  • Not sure if that is wise Rob, I think the games go for 18 minutes so not sure if you'll make it.

    • Half time adds a few minutes too. If he held on for that long he would end up like the Dogs, completely dusted.

      • Ya de ya!! You read the newspapers instead! The forwards were a nonevent as usual. Remember, I said that we need a  row forward! What happened to all those reports about so and so "training the house down"? That came from the TCT expert! Never been right in seven years. The Eels are still in the hunt but, but... they will meet better sides than the Dogs.

"Khalif ..... Average baseline, I would prefer you don't comment, if you didn't know that baseline was the 1963 Kangeroo side, the greatest in the history of the game."

LB replied to ParramattaLurker's discussion Round 3 Team List v St George Illawarra Dragons
"One thing Dragons don't have is the talent and freakish skills to create something from nothing. They can grind, belt the shit out of you but when it comes to sealing those tight contests late they lack the talent to do it most times."
