Bomba . We needed that win on the weekend ,put us just out of that deadly 7th/8th spot.Good to see the dragon forward lead by Ryles fired up and bashing the opposition (JUST LIKE THE OLD DAYS).How nice was it to see the tiggers get hammered on Monday night,it shows what kind of pea-hearts they really are .Talking of pea-hearts Tigger girl has message me through another member mouthing off as usual,he will be back sometime in September but at present he'll be busy hauling Kleenex STILL::.With Poore,Creagh,Morris & Soward to come back in we should hold onto 6th ,maybe higher.How good was it to see the BIG Dell score:bong: :kiffer:TB here's what I think about your precious tiggers:girl:::
 
Well Bomba we are 1 step closer after the weekend,needing a top 6 finish otherwise it's the storm or eagles away .Still have Poore,Scott Soward & Morris to come back.Pussy girl how's your bunch of shirt grabbers travelling starting to show there pea-heart formwhen the pressure is on , I'll make this short and sweet:fu:and kiss this:arsch:
 
Well the Eels got it handed to them again last night and take their leave ...deservedly so

Superb season from the Dragons after a terrible start. Love to see em go all the way, fancy the Knights might be there too.

Congrats JJ and Bomba .. time for me to get a new av
 
Geez Spooly I must be overdue for one seeing Baz hasn't played for us for 2 years now and is returning next year for the Sharks
 
Yes, Eels were very poor. Probably finished exactly where everyone thought they would, outside the 8.

Still hard to see many challenging the Storm - maybe the Broncos and Dragons at their absolute best might be capable. Noone else in the top 8 has the cattle to get the job done.
 
Re:dragons got lucky with the draw!

congrats jj your bunch of sheilas got the soft games during origin to fall into 7th v manly,despite my tigers not making the finals again i had a very large win on them in their last game at $4.25.makes up somewhat for a slack season,beat the dragirls twice(benji last try was a nice earner)

anyhow usually if you dont make the top 4 you cannot win the comp,so to start its either melb,manly,cronulla,roosters.
i think the only team the storm fear is brisbane & i think brisbane will beat the roosters,with the storm looking out for them,if lockyer stays on the paddock they are a huge chance despite my saying only the top 4 can win.

so the match ups are
storm(1)v warriors(8)= storm
manly(2)v dragons(7)= manly(i do note the dragons knocked over manly at brookie this year & for jj's sake id love to see them win,but manly have a point to prove & will come out firing)
cronulla(3)v canberra(6)=cronulla,unlucky here jj if elmasri kicks 1 more goal you more than likely get 2 games in the semis.
roosters(4)v brisbane(5)=brisbane,lockyer is the key as usual.

then its.
cronulla v roosters=cronulla(played semi final style all year & ricky stuart would love to put the roosters out)
brisbane v canberra=brisbane,too classy if lockyer plays, still win without him

grandfinal qualifiers.
storm v cronulla=storm
manly v brisbane=brisbane

grand final
storm v brisbane= brisbane,the mental scars from 2006 still haunt melbourne.
score 19-12 brisbane
clive churchill medal:darren lockyer

storm:raging hot favourites that look over the line & hard to fault but they will be looking at brisbane & hoping they dont meet.

manly:i did like up to the souths game which showed orford as very one dimensional(kicks too much) & watmough is a huge defensive liability(showed up v the dragons)

cronulla:ricky stuart is a very astute coach & has them playing the grinding type needed to win semi's,i cant see them beating the storm,however its a new 4 week comp now,next year with the new players will see them go close.

roosters:hard to assess this team with some injuries close to the game but minichello brings some stability to the side,they look suspect out wide in defence.

broncos(5th):I wrote them off 2 years ago when finishing 3rd & losing the first semi meant they had to win 3 in a row in sydney to win the comp,they are facing the roosters at a tough time, they have the class edge over the next 3 teams above them.if lockyer stays fit they are a huge chance of knocking over the storm just like in 2006.

ill be backing brisbane with some of my tigers winnings & a saver on cronulla as i like the way they have played all year,tough & hard...tb
 
See the Australian Prime Minister Mr. Kevin Rudd in the Broncs dressing room after the game.Kevin 747, shows up at every party lol.

Big contact game.Don`t ya love it.
 
broncos bashed up & still won

Even down 2-14 i wasnt worried as i knew the broncos had the class edge which they showed from the 25th min onwards,i got the finals games mixed up as the broncos should meet the storm in the grand final qualifier.

the roosters nearly bashed the broncos off the park with clinton gone in the 3rd minute & parker getting smashed & 3 or 4 drawing blood...love it the bash up finals footy!,so only 3 on the bench.going in at only 8-16 down i was super confident the broncs would cut loose in the 1st 20 minutes of the 2nd half & they scored 2 quick tries in that perod.

As i thought the roosters were suspect out wide with the centres sa & soliola more suited to the backrow the broncos targetted that area,i thought the roosters had run out of ammo at 16-8(lucky intercept try)& it proved correct.

the broncos will meet canberra or cronulla in brisbane for the right to face the storm with the winner into the gf v either manly,cronulla or the roosters

so have to redo the semis.week 2...3,4,5,6 swap around
broncos v canberra=broncos(0-4 at home semis is a worry)
cronulla v roosters=cronulla

gf qualifier
broncos v storm=broncos
cronulla v manly=cronulla

gf broncos v cronulla(ive backed both)
score...broncos win 19-12,lockyer mom,clive churchill medal...tb

I note that the storm have only been beaten twice in melbourne since 2006,by cronulla & the warrriors who they face on sunday,but 8th has never beaten 1st,but the warriors are $5.50 in a 2 horse race(450% profit odds of 9/2 or 4 1/2 to 1).i cannot ignore those odds...

so for an interest im going to throw a few bucks($100)on the warriors to ambush the storm,when they got their mojo the kiwis they are a great side to watch similiar to the tigers of 2005...tb

Didnt do too bad if i take out my team the tigers & my kids team parramatta who were the biggest disappointment of 2008(2009 spooly?)5 out of the 8 correct with manly at 9th.did get the tigers & parra correct beside each other! but in 10th & 11th.

What im looking for from a punters position is can a team from the area of 9th to 16th pull of a stunning coup in 2009.?

Who can improve big time in 2009?i thought penrith & newcastle could improve this year.so im going to stick with newcastle in 2009 as the big improvers,with mullen getting a taste of SOO ill watch them in the off season,plus looking to see how the tigers & parra go as well...tb
 
Again hope you got in some parlays
picked up the warriors at 6.25 yesterday althought they went out to 7.15 today
 
8th has never beaten 1st,but the warriors are $5.50 in a 2 horse race(450% profit odds of 9/2 or 4 1/2 to 1).i cannot ignore those odds...

The big question is .... did the odds get ignored??????
 
warriors ambush!yes tb gets the cash!

I dont speak out my **** mate,ive got an on line betting account that i use(maybe you should get one)
when i say im going to back a team i do it,as i said i used to be a big cash punter & i put these posts here for others hopefully to also follow( i had the the cnp miracle crowd in mind this time as a lesson in risk v reward.)

see what i said below it wasnt no fluke wysi,i had a nice win on the tigers last week,the broncos,only loss this week so far was 1st try scorer(riley brown,my daughters pick...last year she picked eric grothe jnr as 1st tryscorer v storm)didnt bet in the manly & cronulla games(no value,so pick your games get the value & go for it...)

the bigger question is did you cop the tip? wysi these are genuine tips mate,you can back them with confidence... you only gotta see my racing tips thread...i dont stick a pin in the paper...the warriors have a great international front row of wiki/price,(1 of only 2 teams to win in melbourne since 2006 as i pointed out below...thats form & thats what you go on)so i was confident of an ambush(actually if you must know i fell asleep & woke up at 1/2 time...!)

no parlay kgee i prefer the head to head(thats what the punt is all about to me)to get the $5.50,rather than the 9/10($1.90)odds of taking the start,it doesnt appeal to me,a bit like each way betting...not for me,i nearly backed souths at $5.00 v manly a few weeks ago so ive been waiting for the right game(tigers at $4.25 last week),so its the broncs v storm & warriors v roosters...my broncos & cronulla ($11.00 by the way thank you very much) for the comp look like giving me a good run for my money.

for the record in 2005 i backed the tigers from 125/1 into 8/1 to win the grand final...plenty i did win...next year im going to back newcastle to win the comp...tb

Yes, apparently there is a 4th player implicated as well, no news yet on who it might be.

Another story getting the run tonight is a Lockyer tackle on a bar owner - pretty difficult to believe, if you were going to back one player only to stay out of trouble he'd be it.

Anyway - big game for them on sat night, if they are just a bit off their game the Storm will get through. But I'll be there to cheer the Broncs on to a win hopefully. A win would be followed by an armchair run to the final over Sharks - don't think they have the cattle to upset Storm, Manly or Broncs. For me, it's looking like either Manly v Broncs, or Manly v Storm. Can't see anything more upsets happening anywhere else atm........
 
Well that was a clinical dismantling of Easts by NZ. Easts were busted up the middle so many times by the hooker. NZ were running onto the ball in great backline moves with fluid motion. NZ must have been held up over or a metre from the line 10 times in the last 2 games and how about Wiki's run in the second half!

These guys have promised a few times before in finals and haven't had the staying power. They must certainly now be contenders for the crockery.

This has been a sensational finals series so far.
 
Yeah top notch game Warriors v. Roosters.

Storm will gain the upper hand and roll the Broncs tonight.The Broncs will try and match them as long as possible which shouldn`t make the game too one sided.W. Bennett has coached some memorable Bronco teams.Good luck with the Saints next year.
 

Starting to look the biz,

Only 80min away from a Grand Final, not bad for a team that managed to just squeak into the playoffs in 8th spot
