Hoping for a vastly improved performance from us tonight.

If we can't win this, just put the cue in the rack ffs

 

[Big Pete]

Any word on who will replace Frizell?

I guess Host will come into the starting side, but who comes onto the bench?

Luciano Leilua isn't playing in the NYC, could tonight be his debut?

Didn't we already do that a few rounds ago?

Dragons website has Leilua making his debut Big Pete.

Haven't officially named their team yet though, not till 7pm.

 

[Big Pete]

You da man GC.

How you feeling about the game, mate?

 

[Big Pete]

Looks like we'll be wearing Parramatta jerseys.

Or maybe it's like that alternative jersey we wore in 2001-03?

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Oh god, this doesn't bode well

I know you know this but that's our Women in League jersey.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Nervous, I liked what I saw from the Dragons last week, they weren't pretty but they went out with a simple game plan and committed to it, they were definitely a better side in the second half and I think they will take something out of that game despite losing. The conditions I have heard aren't too crash hot(correct me if I'm wrong) and I think the amount of mistakes we have made since our slump this season could prove costly if we don't improve there. How we handle the ball in possession (particularly in our own half) and what we do with the ball within their half will go a long way to deciding tonight's game. I want to see this side playing smarter and more committed football then we have seen, otherwise quite frankly I don't want us in the finals.

 

[Super Freak]

I'm not confident.

I know the Broncos can win this if they just turn up and put in a bit more effort.

But it's just gone back to the 2012-2014 days... I have no fucking idea which side will turn up.

I know you know this but that's our Women in League jersey.

Mmmhmmm, I just hadn't seen the design since it was unveiled.

Looking it up on Google Images (not copy + pasting a 1080 x 1080 image...) it looks like a sweet mixture of the 2010 Cyril Connell jersey and the Women in League stripe the boys usually wear.
