36 minutes, and not even a post.

Speaks volumes why match threads should go up on Wednesdays.

Cup day match thread, yuck

 

[ImissFrosty]

Yeah, I'm not reading that OP

 

[U2tigers]

Yeah, I'm not reading that OP

I did, and a lot of work obviously went into it, so I can appreciate that.

Also it says the Furies have won 21-11 in our match up with the Gumbies - Thats worth reading about.

I’m all in favor of Wednesday MTs, but after S31’s “dot-gate” I didn’t want to take any chance.

Tbh I've been digging holes in the hippodrome field as I'm trying to find out how the hell we are a rival with the Belmont Dire Wolves

Some poor club had to wear playing the Gumbies in this round.

Shows how bad the Gumbies are that they don't actually have a Rival.

Unlike us, the Furies are the Furies own rival!!!

It's Heritage mode. ;-)

We're neighbours and we've met in two Grand Finals

 

[Riviat]

We'll just call this game a win for the Gumbies and move on. Nothing to see here.

We don't need any rivals.

Thanks for the OP GremioPower

 

[Riviat]

Alright Gumbinos, our future is in our hands and these poor Furies flogs stand in our way on our path to the Grand Final. I have CM1000 clarkeMonies riding on us winning the Grand final so we need to perform, no more excuses. Lets wreck these dumpster diving, Kittens tipping, goon swilling, Hoff lovers!

Bono will be an easy-beat in the ruck for me!

Be wary Riviat and prepare yourself, I save myself for the big games.

Who we playing next week Bastyy ?

 

[Riviat]

I don't talk to my neighbours

Only time I talk to mine are when I require something. I made my neighbours fix my front yard that they ripped up with their bobcat. They also gave me a bottle of expensive chardonnay.

To be fair, I'd rip up your lawn if I got my hands on a bobcat

Don't forget the bottle of Goon you would chuck in for free.

It looks like you've been saving yourself for awhile with your current ruck ranking

I forgot that Bastyy is your new captain.

Bastyy is the Furies Captain?

I thought it was still The Half Back

 

[Riviat]

Only Turbo is the proper height in the Furies to be able to ride one of those.

Don't forget the bottle of Goon you would chuck in for free.

I'd prefer the Goon over the Chardonnay as it's still un-touched in the fridge.

The Half Back would be happy to take the reins again
