NRL ROUND 1

Brian Smith +6

This game should be $1.90 apiece but thanks to the hype surronding the down syndrome Dave Taylor and Sam Burgess a nice start for the Rooters here

Forward packs are even but the Rooters backline absolutely shits all over the Bunnies backline.


This game will probably go to golden plod with the 2010 Dally M winner Todd Carney kicking the winning field goal


Alan Tongue +8

I'll take a 8 point start against the Matt Elliots any day

Nice new signings Panthers

Fringe first grader Nigel Plum
Travis "No club wants me" Burns
Dane "I can't last more then 10 mins before calling for the Ambalamps" Laurie
Dave "Im from the Sharks,enough said" Simmons
Adrian "Im a hog and can't tackle" Purtell

Regulars


Jarrod 'I've put on 10kgs and still can't tackle" Sammut
Frank "Im the laziest player to ever play in NRL" Pritchard

Matt Elliot coaching a new improved team




Ivan Cleary + 8


Gold Coast Greg Birds

Lote Tuquri - 2

Tony "im a lazy bludger and have a never made a tackle in my life" Williams in the centres? oh dear

Steve " Why am i still playing" Matai oh dear



The Des Haslers

That Roosters line might, MIGHT even tempt me for a rare dabble on the league this weekend  

Loves a dabble does the Turkey

Titans make the finals last season so everyone thinks they will automatically get better this season


Wait wait wait a minute,didn't they get a home final against a beatable Broncos team? didn't they face the 8TH placed Eels the following week?


They won't get a better chance then that,what happens if they have to play the Storm or Bulldogs in a finals game this season?

I think the acquisition of one Greg Bird might have something to do with that. Infact you can throw in Joseph Tomane as well.

If their 'engine room' (in particular Bull Bailey and Aaron Cannings) can stay healthy, they're in for another very good season imo.

They're an extremely well coached team.  

Titans are champions but Eels are flukes according to public

Titans

Qualifying final

32-40 against Broncos


Semi Final

2-27 against Eels




Eels

Qualifying final

25-12 over Dragons


Semi Finals

27-2 over Titans


Prelim Finals


22-12 over Bulldogs


Final  16-23 against Storm




Double digit victories against Dragons,Bulldogs and Titans but there flukes




Titans smacked like the bitches they are but there champions

How do you figure that ?

Parramatta are PREMIERSHIP FAVOURITES

Titans are on the fifth rung of betting.

Bookmakers set prices not the general public


General public thinks the Eels are flukes

Greg Bird isn't even in the top 30 players in the NRL

how do you know what this supposed "general public" opinion is ? Did you conduct a poll ?

Ace is just rambling on,no clue the kid

that's debatable, but not necessarily relevant anyway because its what Greg Bird will mean to the Titans that matters.

He's going to take some of focus off Scott Prince and thats what the Titans needed in the halves, somebody who could do that.  

Loves those + point starts does the Ace

we need to talk about this post

I knew Farque would pop in my thread when i said that


Ace wrote that on purpose

I am more into overs / under in League, especially when it is raining...

When it is raining at grounds like Brooky and Leichardt, an automtaic under

Saturday night game at Toyota Park = automatic under as well

I think Greg Bird will be massive for the Titans.

If the Titans don't finish top 4, failure for that mob.

FAILURE

Put Prince and Bird at the Knights, and we aren't talking spoon drivel, are we?

Ace creating preseason chaos

Darren says: "Mr Adjudicator, have you seen who the Panthers have bought?, Purtell who loves to be a hog then you have Laurie who plays for 10minutes then needs CPR or you have plumb who does what!, all he might be good for is fixing some leaks in their defence but the Panthers have irrigation pipes all around the park. Guess they bought byrne to go with there season as sides will be on fire when they come up against such a woeful side."

 

Ace = Darren

Mr Adjudicator i believe its Travis Burns not Travis Byrne

Dunno if I'm gonna have a bet week 1 but Bulldogs -10.5 @ $2.00 looks awesome...
