[CrittaMagic69]

Team sucks once again

 

[Delta]

Let's hope that the 40 points we concede are 10 tries from Josh Morris.

 

[Spoonman84]

Can't believe Chris Smith is even in the side let alone a starter.

 

[Baseball Furies]

Puzzling as always....

 

[Spoonman84]

Elliott is fit according to the injury report I bet he replaces Ofa in the final team.

 

[TwinTurbo]

Oh shyte, this thread will go ballistic, Lichaa in with JMK and Brown both injured.

Go Dogs

 

[GrogDog]

Sharks 60+ and if that's not bad enough I will be at work with my mate/boss who is a fukin sharks supporter! Thanks Dogs for teaching me new lows.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Elliott is fit according to the injury report I bet he replaces Ofa in the final team.

Probs Napa, doubt he will play now that he got his 30k. A starting middle of Tolman, Elliott and Smith...fucking amazing.

DOG SHIT PAY

 

[Mr Invisible]

Team lists updated.

Probs Napa, doubt he will play now that he got his 30k. A starting middle of Tolman, Elliott and Smith...fucking amazing.

Ayoub said that Napa has been playing with the injury for weeks it might explain some of the shit he has dished up.

I reckon our biggest loss is up for grabs this weekend. Can’t believe I am venturing to the game with my wife (who is a sharks supporter)... gonna be my sons first game too. Got his jersey all ready for him!!

 

[Squash the Berries!]

Montoya, Lichaa & C Smith?

No need to watch a comedy movie anymore, I just need to read each weeks team to get my laugh.

 

[Mr Invisible]
