Its OFFICIAL....

The dogs are GONE without Noddy...

They were woeful last night, had zero direction and crumbled.... Im hoping Penrith beat Newcastle so that the dogs have to play the Eels in week 1 as i think the eels will give it to the dogs....


Although the Tigers didnt make the 8, its a pretty sweet day to be able to stop the dogs from winning the MP

 

[Simon]

As I said to you yesterday, Tigers always beat the Dogs though, with or without Noddy I'd have tipped Tigers. I think they are still a threat, obviously theyd much prefer to have Kimmorley there but I dont think they are chanceless without him.

 

[Blewy]

From what i seen last night they had ZERO direction... Holdsworth is useless, Roberts is good but has no organisation whatsoever, and Ennis had nothing...

I really cant see them winning another game without Kimmorley...

 

[Mister Wright]

Results went the Broncos way again last night. Can't play Dragons first week, and If more results go our way we can have a home final.

Defence was good then lol

The funny thing is that the Warriors were leading by over 20 points with 10 to go and they ended up losing. Choke of the season for mine

Should have been 44all, Storm's 2nd last conversion was given a goal when it clearly missed.

You'd feel for the Sharks normally, but they don't deserve it.

Will be putting a fair amount on the Knights 13+ for the Panthers game.

$500 @ 3.10 = $1550, **** yes.

Great to see Pritchard and Woolnough having a good laugh with their opposition today. Why wouldn't big Frank be happy? Get paid massive money to stroll onto a park, run around for 10 minutes, then do SFA for the next 70. Then again when your coach has the tactical nous of a wombat and keeps your most potent attacking weapon on the bench when your team is chasing a game it would be hard not to get a bit apathetic.

We looked inept, like we had no idea and didn't really care anyway. Elliott seems to have no idea how to get a team in order when things get tough at the back end of the season. We've played very similar these last few weeks as we did in the run in to the finals last year. I wouldn't be surprised if it continued every year that muppet is our coach. Even if we made the finals we would have been fodder for the clubs actually playing like a real footy team.

Tipping results up tomorrow night, cbf atm (although I'm almost certain there was no change at the top 8|)

Well done mate, I won on a good multi yesterday too, had $100 on Knights 6+ and St Kilda 5+ paying $3.36. Had a good weekend on the punt overall actually, best of the season.

She's cut-throat for Brisbane on Saturday.

You'd think that one of either Parra or Newc will win.

Mate, Parra have a snowflake's chance in hell of beating Saints at Kogarah after last week. Hopefully they've cloned Hindmarsh and we'll have three of him on Sunday. We'll need them.

In fact, everyone has a snowflake's chance in hell of beating Saints at Kogarah after last week.

If they keep playing like that they'll win it in a canter.

 

[howardj]

Hmmm, very interesting.

Coincidence that Parra had nothing to play for and lost big? By contrast, in previous weeks it was sudden death and they fired up. Likewise, the Dragons had little to play for in the last few weeks (and lost), but had a top two spot to play for last Friday and won. I think psychology plays a huge part.

I wouldn't write Parra off.
