Who to go for?

[Guest]

Since Roosters can't make top 8 (obviously) who are you going to cheer in the finals??

Titans for me!

[Guest]

anyone except the bulldogs, dragons or titans

im going for parra

[Guest]

I know I will be booed and jeered, but I'm going for the Dogs. I can't handle listening to the QLD media go on and on about the QLD teams, so that rules out the other 3 including the Storm. Ditto for their Bennett-love so out goes the Dragqueens. Leaves Manly Eels and the Knights going on the current top 8. I have a soft spot for Brett Kimmorley think he's a genuinely smart footballer and good rep for the game, and Hazem deserves to go out a winner, even if his dodgey try in the GF robbed Freddy of that chance, that lies on the referees. I'm a sucker for a fairytale.

eeeeeeels beacuse of fui fui

[novice chook]

Definitely the Titans.

Whilst I'm not as adverse to the Dogs as I once was, I still can't see myself barracking for them to win a premiership.

Mind you, if its between the Drag Queens and the Dogs ... maybe best not to think about it til I have to.

Bugger the finals.......

I am torn as to who to cheer for this wekend.....

If I tip the Sharks, it means I am accepting a wooden spoon, and the alternative is just not an option.in a normal world.......oh dear......

[Guest]

I just hope Eels, Dragons, Manly dont win

[Guest]

oh Sue I know!!!!!!!!! its a horrible predicament. I will definitely be cheering for the vermin this weekend. Sometimes this sort of evil behaviour is a means to an end.

[Guest]

I hope Eels win, they play an exciting style of footy that is enjoyable to watch plus Hayne is a freak

Sue,


you can always tip the draw !!!!!

[Guest]

That thought did cross my mind, but nothing less than a Shark loss and a Rooster win will save our sorry arses........

Alas, I think I have to tip the devil........

Oh and off topic.....

I am to tell Uncle Mario that Caitlin loves her swine flu piggy......hehe.....but bloody hell its noisy.....

Sue,

Well that means we still get the spoon. I would not bank on a win this weekend.

As to the matter at hand:

I would not be sorry too much with any of the Titans, Dogs, or Eels, with some caveats.

The Eels play exciting football ATM, but no-one's ever won from 7 or 8, at least in recent years. I suppose as long as they can win the first week, it's all bets off but even if they do, they are guaranteed 3 weeks of finals before the GF, they will have to really, really smoke it. They are the dark horse, I expect some upsets (big scalps) from them and I expect they can make it to the last 4, but I would be very surprised if they make it past the last 4 into the GF.

The Dogs ... they are the Dogs and I'm supposed to hate their guts, especially for 04 ... but they do play tough footy and have been reborn this year. Apart from the whole us-versus-the-Dogs business, the other thing that makes me hesitant is that if they win they'll have had two premierships in the last five years, where we could only manage one from four in the first half of the decade.

That leaves the Titans. Unfortunately it also leaves the Queerslanders up here blathering (more like drooling) Titans Titans Titans, they are ****en retarded cow-rooters up here, they have no idea if they are a Broncos fan they are supposed to HATE WITH A DEEP PASSION these blow-ins from the disease-infested swamp called Robina (****en cashed-up-bogan-V8-ute paradise it should have been called, that place). Hey Queenslanders. There is nothing special about this place - everything that you claim is special about this shithole is true of just about anywhere else in Australia and NSW and even VIC have more kilometers of surf beaches than you have up here - Brisbane is a 100 klicks from the surf, **** it - and the beaches you DO have are mostly the dullest type of shitty dumping beach break on crappy unstable sand bars. It does NOT measure up to any of the Sydney breaks let alone the rest of the coast. And the best breaks on the Gold Coast? Over the ****en border in NSW !!! **** QLD. Also you are not the Rugby League capital as you're interest is only in QLD rugby league teams, not rugby league in general, so just **** off.

I suppose one should never ever discount Brisbane but **** I can't stand them they are beyond the pale and also, a protected species, when after all wild horses aren't native and are supposed to be shot. From helicopters.

As for the rest: Manly are scum, Melbourne are pretenders, and St Gillawarra? Chokers. God I hope of everything, Gillawarra are gone by the end of the finals week two.

However, apart from the whole Queenslander thing, I did go with some friends to Tits vs Vermin game, wore my Easts jersey and gave a gobful to some fat illiterate vermin supporters in front of me, who being under 40 had of course no memory of their team ever winning a Grand Final ever despite their hollow boasts. And it was ****en good seeing them well beaten. Behind us was sitting some small kid relatives of "Uncle Presto" and they were hilariously enthusiastic, it was a great evening out, so I guess on those sentimental grounds I'm backing the Tits.

[Guest]

I'm hoping for a Knights v Eels Grand Final so that we can say we beat both Grand Finalists during the season!?!?!?!

OK, so that's sad but what about this season isn't?

Vermin not making the finals.

Saints big choke (here's hoping)!

All I have left is petty, vindictive things to make me happy about football!!!
