    I'm seeing Penrith either top 4 or bottom 4. Can't decide if Cleary is a master stroke or going to throw out the whole team dynamic.


    Easily the least I've ever cared about an NRL season though.

    Honestly am not sure what to expect of the Cows. Marking the new era tonight.

    I think if their heads are right, unlike last year, and they make some actual changes instead of playing the same predictable shit, they have too much quality to not do really well.
     
  4. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Eh I'm not convinced they're that great on paper anymore without Thurston. Great forward pack but their outside backs suck and their spine is meh at best. I don't think they'll have another mare like last season but I don't know about "really well" either. I reckon mid table.

    Their spine is better than what people think, imo.

    I think the Cows are fucking crazy if they go with TMM over Clifford, who is one of the brightest young halves in the NRL IMO.

    With Clifford yeah but not great with TMM tbh.

    Well it only lasted 3 rounds - for different reasons.
     
  9. Paddy P Orr

    Maybe not. Granville has been utter aids this season so far.
     
  10. AVA T Delonge

    So if the Doggies win on Sunday, all 3 Qld teams will be on the bottom of the ladder. Feels good.
     
  11. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    Can't remember that ever happening before.

    Bring back peachey captain coach

    The SCG turned out to be a fortress. 11 straight wins at home and we were pretty much unplayable at times. Harder track definitely made for some up tempo footy.

    Both of these issues seemed to sort themselves out pretty quickly for different reasons but there were far bigger issues as to why both missed the 8 in the end.

    Very astute move by Stuart, the pick up of Bateman too was an extremely good signing. Didn't see them making the GF but they've definitely been in the top 4 sides all year IMO along with Manly, Roosters & Storm.

    Less said the better etc etc

    At least I got 3 of the Top 4 right as well as 8th and 9th spot on.

    Some of the failures seem forgiveable, others less so (no idea what I was thinking having the Merge 4th, for example)
     
  15. Magic AJ Parker

    I'm just saying...
