Scum v CCM

[timmers]

The game that means more than any other, a performance similar to our last two will surely be enough to get us over the line.

Baird and Doig into the squad, will this be the start of GA's rotations? Will we get a decent refereeing performance? Who will cope better after playing midweek? Will Newcastle be able to find 11 fit players?

All will be revealed. So leave your objective thoughts for the other thread and go nuts on here, c'mon Mariners a 4-0 thumping would be nice!!!

[northernspirit]

definately a game we should win, but being a derby form often goes out the window and teams fire up... i fancy our chances with this game, scum in a bit more turmoil with ljubo-gate hopefully will play into our hands, love him or hate him he is a very good defender.

prediction CCM 2 - Scum 0
crowd: 10,750

 

[nero]

We will down the bogans 4 brickhouses to 1 fibro shack.

 

[furns]

I will be predicting a crowd in excess of 12000 for this one. Should be a good arvo all around. Let the fun begin

i'M SPEWIN THIS GAME IS NOT AT HOME FOR US CAUSE I RECKON (fkn caps) a fired up derby performance at home could spark crowds into life for the remainder of the season.

 

[shipwreck]

Agree scottmac!! We need a local derby

 

[MagpieMariner]

I just hope we don't try to defend 1-zip like last time.

 

[garlo]

So keen for the train ride up on Sunday ...gonna be good boys ! Mariners 3-1 !

 

[Deej]

1 - 1 again, big game for both clubs.

 

[Ted]

Need the win, so bring it home... 2-0

 

[bulldogmariner]

Jets have been lucky that they have played a down and out fury side over the last two games. We have played Brisbane and Wellington who are far superior sides to Newcastle. I would like to think the heart break of the last derby is still in the minds of all players and this time out we get the 3 points we deserve.

Mariners 3-0 Derby win.

 

[bulldogmariner]

Since Adelaide doesn't play this week, a win will put us into second place. A win against Perth on Wednesday would put us 3 points clear, on the same number of games played. Bring it on!

Then we play Adelaide

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Mariners 3-1.

I'm putting 20 on it.

 

[midfielder]

Wonder will Lubo going be good or bad .... he is a great player on his day but was becoming a cancer in the change rooms...

 

[MrCelery]

Having attended both the last games for Scum and Mariners live, I've never been so confident of a good result. We should smash them. But only if we play like the last two games.

 

[adz]

CCM 32-1, 32-0 at half time.

 

[Deej]

Having attended both the last games for Scum and Mariners live, I've never been so confident of a good result. We should smash them. But only if we play like the last two games.

I rarely feel confident going up there, today is the same. We've won just twice up there, praying today is number 3

 

[midfielder]

A win today puts us second on gold difference .... given the Inbreds are not playing this weekend... and to top it all off if the Fart can win and put us 5 points on the Fold it would be a great weekend indeed...

 

[Wee-mac]

I'm gonna go with 3-0, total domination on our apart. Olly, simon and Baird to net our goals

 

[scoober]

Suncorp is in better nick then the scumdome!! Awful
