Reece Williams has got to be the most un intimidating player in the NRL.

[Hoppy2007Dragons]

First go at doing team names, so if i stuffed up don't abuse me just let us know ok. Had some spare time so i thought i would do some usefull contributing.

Anyway, lookign for another good win here in the local derby, and to help our point difference.

Good looking sides named for both teams.

Wish i had money to fly down, it would be good to see off, Timmins, Barrett, Bailey, Henderson, Best and Greenshields to name a few.

Thanks for having a crack at helping mate - that's all we can ask for

Follow the templated used by Queenslander and Super Cronk and you cannot go wrong :guit:

[unknown]

dragons will smash em, sharks are gone, especially afta last w/e

[Steelers]

Sad that Timmins won't get to play in his final game at the Gong :') Very likely to be the last time a Steelers player run out onto the field down at WIN, with Baz going to England next year. Come on boys, give 'em a fitting send off

[Poida]

sharks to win by 10 and comeback

[Hoppy2007Dragons]

No way Dragons too strong at home, won last 8 from 10 at win and looking to get a possible top 4 finish.

[Titanium_BD1103]

Dragons in this match comfortably, Sharks can't win a cold ATM and whilst they will be strong early, in front of the Wollongong crowd, too good will be the Dragons....

Dragons by 12 at least....

[Souths'n'Titans]

Saints by 20 plus

[dan the man]

i say steelers by 30 +

[Steelers]

i say steelers by 30 +

Ahh if only... if only...

[Hoppy2007Dragons]

Yes, Shaun Timmins is playing, it's good to hear that, he's coming off the bench and is replacing Sam Isemonger who is being rested for some niggling knee pains.

Source: Dragons.com.au

Good to hear, Timmins gets to play for the last time at Win Stadium and will add expirence off the bench, definitly going to go watch this game on fox to see his last home game.

Adds 6 points to Dragons score dragons by 20.

[Steelers]

:guit: :guit: :guit: :guit: :guit: :guit:


OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TIMMO YOU CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shaun deserves to play in this game. It will be hisal time playing down in the Gong, and it will be the last time a Steeler plays at home. End of an era this weekend, and I am so happy Timmo is fit to play

[Capital_Shark]

Dragons to win here, even if the Sharks get up by 20, we can lose it.

It'll be a field day at Kograh to send of the likes of Bailey, Barrett, Timmins etc.

The small amount of players who have been doing alright at Cronulla have been moved to the bench and the underperformers in the starting line up. Raper needs his head checked. Beau Scott into the run on side and Kearney to the bench?!? Scott must have photos of Raper and Noddy in bed or something I got no idea how this hack keeps making FG!
