just before footy is totally forgotten about, i want to put it on the line now and say Parramatta will win next year.
i dont follow them.
good depth thru the club, they were ripped off this year and will be v hungry. hagan will work his magic over the next 12 mths. storm will have lost some hunger.
tahu is a huge loss, but someone will step up. early betting??
i dont expect replies but now im on the record.

big day coming up. sea of green to be seen, my what a poet, where have you been. (er, sorry about that)
 

wests tigers,look out for penrith next year good long shots.
 
tiger boi,

do they have any size in the pack?
they're a skillful mob but appear to lack real biff. besides, benji's liable to hurt himself each time he warms up
and i reckon you're being tighter than a watersnakes ar55eole stoxy. double it and ill take it.
 

Parra? The mob that choke in the prelim everytime they are in one?

No more nomore!

Parra went out by inches this time round.
I think they won the jersey and lost the prem this year too so look forward to another couple of likely lads like Mateu and Inu joining the ranks.

Tough being an Eel

Come on Stox ....cough up and I`ll take it too
 

lol, sorry Spooly, it's just I was at the SFS in '99 (I think) when Storm last won the flag and they knocked Parra out in the semi, all the Parra supporters where in tears after they lost it in the last few mins, spewing that they had choked in another prelim, now its a little private joke when Parra are mentioned as a chance to win the flag.
 
Double it? With only 16 teams in the comp, you want 12.00?! why that's just about the same as picking a team at random! The MIGHTY PARRAMATTA EELS: the speedy backs : the massive forwards:, all you Eels fans want 12.00??
 

Only been in Aus since 2000 but I have mates who were at the infamous Dogs GF ....18-2 up with 10min to go I believe

Still brings a tear to grown men in public.

Tough being an Eel!

Stox .... I`ll take 9`s
 

Hagan has no magic to work arminius. He inherited Brian Smiths team and club and their success this year can be attributed to that just like his success with the Knights came after inheriting Warren Ryans team in 2001 and then by resting on the back of Andrew Johns.

Tahu will be a huge loss. Mateo and Inu are two huge prospects but they will cop a fair bit more attention from their competitors now that they have tasted success.

Ill tip parra to make the top eight but only just. Manly and the Storm will dominate again.
 
After being a diehard wests tigers supporter (wests and balmain before that), for years, I was in the UK when they won the grand final in 2005.

I, again, will be living in the UK in 2008. Its a dead cert.

West Tigers to win the premiership in 2008. Im on record

Cheers
Brad
 
Dragons with their youngsters gaining experience this year + their regulars with limited injuries should ensure they make the top 4.

However im sure my beloved dragons will choke once again and lose in the qualifying final. its the same game they lost in 2005 and 2006.
 
I was born in Townsville. Do I have a choice? Don't think I need to anyway. Cowboys for 2008 ( and 2009 just to prove the point)
 
Well from the outset i am and always will be a Brisbane supporter!! Go the mighty Bronco's. Will be a changing at the helm with some newer players so i think could be re-building type year ..... still certainly have the talent to make the 8 though

Realistically i think my money is on Manly and as an outside chance either Parramatta or the Warriors for 2008. Manly have got a very good line-up and will only benefit from this years experience like Melbourne did from last year!
 
dragons! yeah right. lol
ive gone for manly since jesus was a lad, but they wont do anything while monahan is there. has he retired??
yep, cowboys, (once they stop shagging each others women) v parra. you're right stoxy, but i will take 12 for cowgirls v eel '08 gf. plus case of boags premium when eels win.
tigers to come storming home late in the season but a bruised shoulder will rule out marshall and his team.
how long before a bulldog gets 'questioned' by police?

what is it about Parramatta supporters ? lol
I had a bet with a bloke at work (we were both pretty pissed at the company Xmas party)
he bet that Parramatta would win - He let me have "the field" lol
(sheesh was he pissed )
couple of years ago , 2005 (you'll remember I'm sure)
it got to the "second prelim final" - Parramatta vs Cowboys - Parra were still doing just fine - in fact I thought he had me - then they just choked in that game - like bigtime!.

I seriously felt bad relieving him of the $20 or whatever

PS if there's a God, you just might be right - it just might be Eel's year in 2008 - I'm sure Stirlo would agree with you

lol - mate - this bloke went along to the final with his 4 year old kid - both of em decked up with scarves, caps, facepainting the works -

his little boy, who he had converted from "an agnostic" to an "avid eels supporter" during the course of the season - told him how marvellous it was gonna be, and how eels were gonna whip ass etc

and......
had to come home without a point on the scoreboard

I think the kid went back to playschool after that lol - probably changes the subject whenever rugby (league) is mentioned.
