The Football (all sorts) Thread

Callan Ward is coming to GWS With 10,000 members signed-on for next year (including yours truly), things are starting to get exciting.

I am so looking forward to Newcastle vs. Souths tonight...
Its sure to one of the games of the year...with a spot in
the finals at stake...

Let's hope so! I'm a Knights fan, and they have a great record on old boys round (and what a bonus that this is the main Friday night game). That being said, when Souths win tonight I won't be too disappointed, they have been playing the better footy over the last month and are more likely to provide an upset...

I think the game of the round could be the Spoon battle, the other games will have players resting early or have no bearing on the standings.

-EDIT-
Just did some calculations... if Manly lose by about 48 or more points, then Brisbane leapfrog them into second... game on!

Does anyone think NRL ref Gavin Badger looks a bit like Communications Internet Censorship Minister Stephen Conroy?

Man...what a disappointing game...

Hey Souths...you knew your season was on the line right?
You knew if you won you'd make the finals right?

They were pathetic!


It was a great night for the Knights (Pun!) and I wish the
team the best of luck against Melbourne.

Dragons vs. Panthers...well...I wanted Penrith to win...
but the Saints just had more strike power.

Should be a fair bit written about momentum going into the finals series.

Cowboys have lost all they had after JT returned, Dragons are slowly rebuilding theirs, Warriors and Knights are too inconsistent to have any, and the Tigers have (depending on tonights results) all the momentum on their side.

Should be interesting to see how the Storm, Eagles and Broncos go tomorrow, and then next week!

^I agree Trunks...Tigers have it all at the moment...but...
do they have the ability and the team to win the big prize?

And on another note...The Eels finished the year with a win
and no wooden spoon...in year that has been nothing but
pain for the Eels supporters...I'll take any positive I can.

And next year with Sandow and the Tonga brothers on board...
things can only get better.
