Finals Week 2 - Broncos vs Dragons - Build Up Thread

[noisetheory]

i leave the booze smuggling for the cricket! 1 litre tetra pack golden circle juice syphoned out and injected with 500ml of vodka. ;)

When I'm at the footy I just break into the cleaner's storeroom and drink the detergents.

 

[noisetheory]

back to the game - the dragons are at 100% full strength and have been for a couple of weeks, correct?

it scares me. its gotta click soon and this is, obviously. their last chance.

q. how does ben hornby manage to avoid any scrutiny? does he ever do anything? i dont really watch the dragons closely much but he seems like the least impressive half of the competition.

 

[OXY-351]

Maybe it's cause I have a small schlong and league is a winter sport, but a 375ml bottle of bundy rum seems to fit down my pants quite nicely.

But if the Broncos start poorly and let the dragons get a lead, that could help their confidence. Which explains Hook's negativity in public. He wants the guys to be up for it from the kick off.

 

[Bucking Beads]

We will be well and truly up for this one. In hook we trust.

 

[Dexter]

Griffin is worried for good reason, if anyone goes back and watches that Warriors game again without all the distraction of us smashing them you will see how horrible they were and see all the soft stuff we dished up.

I still think on form we will win but if we play like we did last week we will get well beaten.

Confidence is what the chokers lack and it can come back very quickly with just a bit of luck at the right time or they manage to run their pet play properly and score.

I have no idea. He's the only halfback in the last 30 years to seriously challenge Shane Perry's claim to "worst halfabck to win a premiership"

this is key. dragons look shot as soon as they go down on the scoreboard. if we can put some points on early it will go a long way to winning the game.

Yep we missed a buttload of tackles up the middle and a Warriors team that was switched on like the one we played a month or so ago would have made us pay. We were fortunate they were off their game last weekend.

Clearly Griffen will be focussing on the ruck defence for most of this week but also the defence on our right hand side. That's St George's go to side for most of their attacking raids so our boys will be busy there. If we manage to contain them on that edge we should win. The Dragons haven't really shown they have a back up plan if their attack fails on that edge...

 

[Coxy]

Yeah but I hope this isn't the week where St George-Illawarra finally decide to use Mark Gasnier. The rare times he gets the ball he looks dangerous. When Soward runs out his way, it's even more dangerous.

Amazes me they don't make more use of Soward-Gasnier-Nightingale when on the attack!

 

[noisetheory]

3 more sleeps.

 

[Steve]

Gawd I'm chomping at the bit for this game!

 

[Bucking Beads]

Pretty sure this is becoming the slowest weak in history... Waiting, waiting I just want it to be Saturday already....:rockon:

I'd hate to see you drink from it :)

 

[Blox_party87]

man bring on the weekend already!

So is Hodges a definite starter or what???

 

[Son Edo]

Keen for one more win.

 

[Jeba]

I'm keen for 3 more wins
