blue_chameleon said:A big chunk of Knights supporters have turned to the Jets in the A-League, and the Knights will have to have a good season in 08 or else they are doomed. The Knights have already done emotive tv ads trying to convince people to buy Season tickets and turn up to games. Of all people that could have been the face of the ads, they chose Brian Smith. Hmm.
He lost half of the supporters when he culled the up-and-coming local juniors.
why, thank you, i am absolutely stoked to see that.historykidd said:i hate you wuddie.
especially with the cash they've freed up after john's retired, bennett may actually find and attracted to the challenges at the knights. interesting predictament.extraordinary07 said:mr smith wont last the first half of the season. and with wayne bennett quitting the broncos and looking for a sydney club, newcastle may look to sign him up for 2009.
If the Dragons can stay injury free (unlikely as that is), I think that they will have a very good season. They have a lot of strike power with Cooper, Gaz, Chase and Soward, as well as the Morris twins.frontman said:I go for the dragons. We won 40-30 over the dogs in the trails yesterday, but I don't think this year holds much promise for us. Hopefully we'll be around the 8 come September.
It's more with the way Smith has cleaned out the deadwood from the team, a point Newcastle people seem to miss. The players he has been getting rid of are the ones that have relied on Johns over the years to make them look like semi-decent first graders.wuddie said:well, the eels did managed to pull johns into their coaching roster, that's got to be a win for the halves. michael hagan is not a bad coach, but from what i hear, he gets really worked up if the team isn't winning, so the pressure is definitely on the parra players.
call me crazy, but i have a vision - when brian smith gets chopped from the knights, the johns brothers will co-coach the knights. boy, wouldn't that be something. with the way brian smith has cleaned out the locals in the team, expect him to be under huge scrutiny.
Can you find anything that supports the media's figures?wuddie said:re above - if you can find anything that contradicts my/ the media's figures, present it, or else don't just bag out the newspapers, they are a whole lot more intelligible and trustworthy than you are.

Not a bad looking team for us, next year.
EDIT: Fuck I could hardly remember who we have on our roster these days, probably missed some cunts out.
they have andrew johns working with the halves this year as well as 3 other teams so they should do much better this seasonSarah182 said:Imo only 3 teams can win the premiership.
1. Melbourne- Unless something goes drastically wrong will easily finish in the top 3
2. Manly- had something good going on last year, pity they lost monaghan (sp?)
3. Parramatta- finished strong and look sharp need to work out the halves a bit however
I'm looking forward to seeing how the roosters go, it'll be interesting but they have close to no experience in key positions
I cant wait!!
Parra 2008 premiers (I hope)

EDIT:
Pearce has got a few seasons under he belt
Aubusson's been ready to step up for awhile
They should be much faster on the wings....through Johns coaching and training their intake...of coke, eccy's, with a dash of speed (pun intended).jcurry said:they have andrew johns working with the halves this year as well as 3 other teams so they should do much better this season
Go the eels

man, i just love how your jokes are all up to date. johns and speed, man, it's unreal. anymore insight you want to share?blue_chameleon said:They should be much faster on the wings....through Johns coaching and training their intake...of coke, eccy's, with a dash of speed (pun intended).
With Johns, the Eels will be have their wingers running faster than Johns running a straw across a glass table top.
Haha that did come across as kinda gay.blue_chameleon said:Orly?
