[Ryno 2.0]

Hoping for some rage bait from Webster.

Metcalf to 6, CNK to centre, Niukure to replace Leka on the edge.

Do you hate this team?

He needs to do something - his insistence on winning is killing fan engagement!

Webster is responsible for giving dozens of regular posters nothing to talk about the selfish prick.

Wrong thread buddy. But good onya

It's the right thread isn't it?

 

[WAH MAN]

It's the right thread isn't it?

One is "pick YOUR team" thread which opens after last game.

Tuesday (this thread) is "Team List" which is where mid late afternoon the actual list named by Webby is released.

Hope that clarifies

 

[CWC]

So we'll find out what happens to Marata, Charnze, and Metcalf...

Hopefully we don't see:
1. Metcalf is 6
2. CNK replacing Ali in the centers

All other changes I can cop.

Nothing pissed me off more last year than losing to these pricks at MSS last year. After all that hard work of hanging on to 4th position after the Mets/Barney injuries, it was this game last year that slipped us out of the 4. Also due to a dodgy bunker call that cancelled a match winning try for pomps if I remember correctly. I want revenge this week.

We have beaten Raiders and Storm this season and those are two massive vengeance matches satisfied for this season for me. Now Brisbane, the mongrel bulldogs and Pemriff

We have an absolutely abysmal record against them....

 

[Evil_Mush]

I feel like we have a pretty bad record against the Eels recently don't we? Might be biased cos the game I travelled to Auckland for in 2025 was pretty dire

The classic "4 point" game heading into a bye, hope we don't clock off too early! Getting some late scares against the Titans and Dolphins hopefully keep us wary


Edit : oops brain not working, I went in 2024 though that game last year was more frustrating than dire hah! And thanks for confirming FJW hah!

In fairness, we were a pretty shit side for much of the pre-webby era so we are bound to have a shit record against a lot of teams. I want us to give them the beat down that the dogs should have given them 2 weeks ago at CommBank.

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

We can't drop these games! Just got to win at all cost and move on, don't give a flying fuck how.

 

[CWC]

We're literally playing 4 teams in a row where we have trouble beating, even the dolphins it's 50/50 and they robbed us at the death last year. How good would it be to cap off April with 4 wins in a row against these bogey teams

Mush you owe me $5 for that failed multi last weekend!

Yeah the game when we were really unlucky giving up that first try when we should've scored (plus some pretty shocking attempts at cover tackling by boyd) .... but yeah we were coming to get them in the last 20 and erm some dodgy arse calls meant we were dudded

 

[CWC]

Was that the Honest Demi game?
