Boycotting Norf game?

Actually attending is illegal

:mrgreen: At least our club has another record.
Last week, record losing margin.
This week- lowest crowd vs Norf :shock:

I'm sure the 17 people who were hoping to attend are very disappointed.

The Saints will salute against North as the noise of affirmation will get them over the line (from the Saints Coaches Box)!


its time to make a name for yourself like you've never made before!

I actually think there is some truth to this .
Mentally we are as weak as pi55. You only need to look at those missed set shots from straight in front over the past 2 weeks to realise how mentally fragile they are.
Without the crowd there will be less of a perception of pressure.
I was tempted to pick North earlier this week, but I think we may get our goal kicking mojo back this week with no crowd.

Saints to get up in an ugly game. North will fancy themselves and keep coming.


Life is never more fun than when you're the underdog competing against the giants.

Touch of dejavu about this game
Last year rd 1
No crowd
We were expecting a win
Started well then got ugly and they won .
This year
No crowd
We're expecting to win
Both teams played ugly last week
So they'll both be looking to improve
Hopefully we'll get up this time
But north has had the wood over us for a while

Thank God the Gods saw fit and allowed us to boycott the game. What a disgrace it would be to have a crowd there!!!
Which means we'll have the TV sets off.🀣

Sportsbet has shortened the odds on Norf.
They were over $4 but now $3.70 or something.

IMHO there's a huge chance we'll sprint to a 4-5 goal lead by half time, but like last yr,
our guys will forget how they got in front, and start running ahead of the contest, expecting team-mates to win clearance. You know, 'one of us will get it out, and I'll get on the end of the hard work, and look like a hero'

Problem is, if *everyone* gets out in space, nobody is helping extract.

Norf will start dominating and our fractured 'team' (they ain't a bloody team, they're a loose rabble) will get over-run.
It happens far too often.

Just my take.
Hope I'm wrong
