Why the f*** are souffs playing at allianz ?!?!

[Hawkeye]

It is OUR home, OUR ground. Sure, it is owned by the taxpayers, but geographically it is in OUR territory, not theirs. Bondi Junction is closer to Moore Park than Redfern. They have ZERO credibility on this matter.

By the same reasoning as the whiney Vermin, (when it is complete) we should be allowed to train at Heffron Park Maroubra and use those facilities as this is being funded by public $$'s from NSW Govt and Randwick Council. Now what do you think Souffs would say if we requested to use those 'public' funded facilities ?

Sharks can't defend on their on goal line. Absolute rubbish. Their #18 winger is trash.

A reserve Roosters team would have beat this mob.

Sharks seem to have made top 4 via a favourable draw.

[bondi.boy]

Until the draw is fixed...made fair to all... it will remain a joke, and as such the comp will remain a joke.

It's impossible to have an even draw when you don't play each team twice.

Next year they will go to a 17 team comp - teams play each other once and 8 teams twice for a 24 game regular season

If they continue expanding it will get even more uneven unless they go to conferences or divisions which will ensure teams will play the same teams the same number of times no matter what conference or division they are in

i.e

18 teams - 2 conferences of 9 teams and either 8 or 10 team finals series (25 game regular season).

Play teams in the other conference once and teams in your conference twice - either cross over finals series or Superbowl type finals series (conference finals series and 2 conference winner playoff)

20 teams - divisions - 4 divisions of 5 teams and 10 team finals series (23 game regular season).

Play each team once and teams in your division twice - finals series - top 2 teams for each division after the regular season are ranked from 1 to 8 based on the first 19 games ( i.e you play the 19 other teams once before you play teams in your division a second time) - the two remaining finals places 9 and 10 are determined by 2 wild card play off games between the 4 3rd placed division teams.

The 10 team final series will operate under the same format of the 1998 10 Team NRL Finals series.

Nooooo…Here Come The Roosters is so much better. Sorry.

Also, we own the Easts song.

Did we have to pay royalties to use the other one?

Not sure BB. You’d think so though.

How about the esky banging tune? Didn't FPN's wife write that or something?

[The Lip]

A Rabbitoh would sell rabbit meat back in the day. Now the vermin nick name themselves "the bunnies." Anyone else see the stupidity in that?

much like St George and the Dragon

I think it was Paea's wife ?
Yeah so does she get royalties everytime they bellow out the song after a victory ? ...the ladies team also sing it out too !

i don't care if souths play there and they've got more connection to the area than they do to homebush but not as much as us and they'll always be training at redfern and we'll always be training at moore park. hard to argue that the area is souths home but it certainly is ours

[Jacks Fur Coat]

It's easy to argue...it would be like saying Redfern is our home. When it's not.

Rusty just wants another chapter for his book

[roostermcgregor]

FWIW I think the Penriff/ Souths game on Saturday might just be another sh*t show.
Big ears even admitted "they have no hope of going set for set with the Riff, and winning 6-4"
I think big ears doesn't even want to try this for any part of the game, because he knows Souffs will be beat.
So I am tipping Souffs to try to be as disruptive as possible, and attempt to frustrate Penriff. out of the game.
The "milkers" will get up from tackles holding their heads, nose, chins etc in attempts to milk the penalty.
Penalties, piggybacks upfield from penalties, "injured" Souffs players in the ruck, numerous bunker video replays, niggling with intention to get multiple players into a fracas, etc will be the order of the day.
Just as long as Souffs stop the Riff from playing any sort of continuous footy, and getting into a rhythm.
And if this is the case, where do Souffs win the game?
From what I've noticed, Souffs don't want to play football anywhere on the field, except when they get into your red zone.
Then , they come "Alive"
Don't believe me ? Go check out where 5 of Souffs 6 tries were scored , against Cronulla.
They are pretty good at putting the ball through the hands, and stripping you on the edges, or coming up with a Latrell/ Cody trick shot to score a try.
One fan made the comment that Souffs were a "big danger when they are in your red zone"- I think that pretty much sums up their team.

I am still tipping the Riff to win this game, but if Souffs pull off their "tactics", the game might be closer than lots of people think.

I could not post it on this forum (it would be full of profanities), but I think we all know what the nature of their response would be like!
