The stage is set and the time for bullsh*t is over. Our season is down to this….we execute and play as well as we can for 80 minutes then we are into the Grand Final against WoManly. Lose and we are bulldust for the season.

We finished first, in spite of all the bullsh*t, agendas, conspiracies, injustices, referees, movie stars, dodgy commentators, cheats, etc who have tried to derail us. After all the drama of the past 3 or 4 days there are just 17 individuals who stand in our way of having a crack at Premiership Glory next weekend. Some of which are really too old to cut it anymore, some are way too inexperienced and some who are stupid and error prone, some of who I have plainly never heard of and some who have pretty stupid names who play pretty well.
Boyd…even though he is out of our team this weekend I rather have our Boyd
Uate…cannot catch or make the right defensive decisions in big games
Gagai………Unfortunate name…goes alright but inexperienced
Leilua…….Same as Uate a lot slower
Naquima….Inexperienced, untried and untested
Mullen…..Goes alright but played well last week so due for a quiet game
Roberts…..Injury cloud, can he cope with the expectation
Mason…..Too old will be willing but is that enough
Buderus…..Will be teary eyed knowing tonight is his last game, wont be able to see the ball….too old
Faalongo….An idiot,a weak link…not exactly young
Rochow….Who???
Scott……tough and seasoned campaigner….name sounds like a toilet tissue, getting long in the tooth
Smith….Tough and seasoned campaigner……goes alright but getting a bit old
Bench
Hilder….never was
Costigan…too
Houston….too old
McKinnon………..I have never heard of him
Even allowing for the fact that LOD is probably out and Kennedy or Napa is on the bench we still have a pretty strong bench. At this stage I still expect SBW to play. If that motley lot from Oldcastle stops the Minor Premiers marching on to the GF next week…then we must have put in an absolute howler of $ouff$ proportions.
Fark em!! Fark em all!! GO EASTS!!!……. This is a call out to everyone, get to the game if you can, show your support and represent on this to be hopefully historic night.
GO EASTS!!!!!
