What's with Gould, the last few weeks? He's actually been funny, in a weird way, but funny nonetheless.

Phil Gould loves the Dragons so much ... he never has a bad word to say about them. It gets kinda embarassing as a Dragons fan the way he rabbits on about them sometimes.

hes lightened up since the roosters have become crap, hes actually looking at the competition in an unbiased manner and believe it or not hes actually worth listening to at times now

They're filling his Roosters void.

 

[Simon]

can u guys believe this, if the dragons play in all 4 weeks of the finals that means their last 15 games in a row would have been on channel 9, is that completely unfair or what?!?!

Not complaining about that

I personally hate them being on Channel 9. I'd rather watch it live on Fox than delayed on 9. I have fallen into the habit of listening to the radio or getting live scores off the net rather than watching the delayed telecast.

yeh delayed games suck, brisbane were on at 6pm on fox yesterday so i listened to it on the radio instead...
but as far as the channel 9 games go, its got to do with sponsorships, Free To Air rates much much higher cause not everyone has fox and teams sponsors want to see their teams play so they get exposure. why should st george get their last 11 games on TV...

 

[Burpey]

Because the Dragons rate well. It's a fact. There was an article a while back on which free-to-air matches rated highest and Dragons matches were up there. And as you know, more viewrers = more money for Packer & co

Ben Walker on 2KY this morning

"When asked about the game.......he said "yeah back to the 70's.......Spear tackles, head highs.......all we needed was for Ryan Cross to eyegouge someone and it would have been perfect"

Quote of the year!

 

[Burpey]

You hear Liam Fulton on 2KY last week ... gold.

 

[Mister Wright]

Why? I would have thought the Kinghts were hated more than the Warriors.

I used to like the Warriors before some of the antics of their fans on this forum...

Yeah, if only his play was as quick as his wits he would have been a much better player.

 

[Simon]

bit like the Tigers, if it wasnt for blewy i wouldnt mind them going all the way and winning it, but now i saw

DIE TIGERS DIE....

 

[James90]

With 2 rounds left a lot of interest is surrounding the minor premiership and the wooden spoon. However, what's been somewhat overlooked is the CricketWeb tipping competition. It's a two horse race with Mr Wright leading James90 by a single match

Set for a grandstand finish

 

[Burpey]

Didn't know there was a tipping comp ... go Kyle ( he is my skipper after all )

Disappointed as I can't watch the Dragons play this weekend ... I hate the bye

 

[Simon]

im hoping the bye can just get up in that one, and if the raiders win against eels we will have the minor premiership when the broncos 2nd XIII beat the chooks...

 

[howardj]

Brisbane's whole season is on the line tonight. The way I see it, we must finish in the top two to win the comp. Lose tonight, and it makes it virtually impossible, for I do not think we will beat Parramatta next week. Brisbane need to give it the kitchen sink tonight. Be absolutely desperate.
