Borderline medical retirement grounds now... 3 or 4 yr deal for this guy?

We beat them up until their bench got involved. Raiders have a similar pack and this is the part we were worried about all season when we knew we were one class prop short. Your right about the fitness part, we are an extremely fit team and Ciro's tackling philosophy seems to be working with...

We cant beat them in the grind.. They're to big and skillful for that. Dogs just need to ambush them and hope it sticks like the Roosters game.

Hopefully Weeks had a once off because he played against his old club... Can remember he had a shocker against the dogs last year.

I think so too... They would be sitting pretty after rolling Manly from 20- zip down and the positive news about Ricky. Only way we win is by probably scoring 30+ and I don't see that happening unless they totally don't rock up. Just not confident this week...

Hopefully..

Good refs.. I like it.

In a perfect world I agree.. problem is we don't have a bigger body to replace Curran off the bench. Toddy probably could have done the job, I'd be tempted to throw Lipoi in with Poasa for this one with Morrin and Mann. Salmon is our new Waddle.

Does anybody else reckon this "small ball" stuff just aint gonna work against Canberra?

All day!

She's been a looong day! haha Dunno, whose gonna come from overseas just for a stupid court case. Like i said hard to see anyone blowing their careers up like Jackson did unless its Nu brown... His career is already finished!

Declan and Casey are very good mates... But I dont know if Casey has it in for the club though. I also cant imagine another footballer currently registered with another cub would be dumb enough to do so.

Kautoga probs wont see first grade again if not for at least a while. He took Scnieders leg off in the game against Penrith the other night as the guy was kicking and its a shocker.

Just goes to show much that game meant to the riff.. we now have a comeback to the Penrith bulldogs as we now know we are living rent free their heads.

Depends on if we lose players too though..

The Phantom earns his money at training... really pushes there and takes a back-seat on game day.

Lol dont hold back.. IM sure Tetz was brought in for other reasons other than his playing ability. The experience he has with Ciro's systems and culture build and the chance to teach the next batch of kids like Toddy and Hops is why he was brought in. Dont think he'll be there beyond this year...

Noticed someone mention a Blonde forward who debuted last night in NSW cup.... Welcome to our best forward coming through the grades but shhhhhh!

I actually told my Tigers mate this week he will bring what Critta did the dogs... He is still a professional that brings that awe about him. The tigers have a decent roster and a new coach, reckon they'll be a much better team second year around just like the dogs this year.

Definitely not... u can tell he cant wrap his fingers around the ball.

We also won the first quarter grind by breaking their line first... you'd also think if it was dry or JAC passes it to Xerri, Burto or Tracey on the inside or he gets that kick right we score first too. Next game against them will be an absolute cracker.. that was a feeling out game for both...

Which one.. Xerri to Addo? Forward as.. like I said multiple times we would have put 20+ if it was a dry track. Maybe could've got one or 2 6 agains but we were playing away at a hostile home ground.. ref ain't getting any help from the stands. I was happy with the first quarter.. ref let...

Reefing wasn't that bad in my opinion apart from the constant walkthon but you'll get that when Ur trying too hard to hold the panthers down, espescially at home and cutting corners. The only real bad call was the second penalty shot in front of the stix and that was due to Burton pissing off...

We don't need another forward... we have too many coming through and need the cap space. I've been watching Jeral very closely at training and games.. the kid is PURE rocks and diamonds. He will do some amazing things then have an absolute clanger. With the kids coming through probs not...

Put it this way... I haven't had any interest to watch the last few games we have won but I'm keen to watch last night's game that we lost to see exactly how we could've and shouldve won. The biggest win of the match for me was the arm wrestle to start the match... teams went toe to toe.. both...

100% Not much damage done tonight... Thankfully no injuries and no suspensions coming out of the game. If only the Eels beat Brisbane we would have still been out of the 8 on F/A but it looks like Parra Suck again. Actually we are on even points with 8th.. Regardless the next 4 weeks are...

Good i wasnt seeing thins lol

Had his worse game for us... not the night for it. Curran and Presto on the bench was make or break for us and both blokes did f all compared to Smith and Henry.

I gotta watch it again but i replayed it during the game and saw Kiraz on back, Turuva next to him holding his jersey around the stomach area. If he didnt have hold of his jersey play on.

Attacker on floor, ball in hand, defender hand on attacker. That has been held since 1908.

They're coming... Just need to be patient but your right Penriths bench out did ours espescially considering Curran had a shit game.

It was held.

Few of those offside calls were borderline rubbish when u see Penrith doing the same...

Would have been a cracker and probably a different game if it was a dry track... That grind to start the match was pretty even, Penriths bench was the difference in the end. Also Yeo and Edwards easily best players in the comp atm.

It was poor discipline and frustration from Burton.. He knocked on, plain and simple. It also cost us 2 points from the bullshit penalty that couldve easily been called a knock on. Live and learn.

Leota and Fisher-Harris completely dominated them.... Thats dead set sarcasm by the way.

Throw Mahoney and our 2 starting props for good measure... Completely nullified what is the best front row combo in the game.

Hutcho definitely wasnt the issue tonight... Discipline and confidence with ball did. Just need to make sure its a one off and need a bounce back otherwise the boys will lose conficence.

Credit to our Fitness and scramble.

Positives are the fact i reckon if it was a dry track we put more than 20 points on the panthers at home.

There is also Cassius Tia who is showing plenty of promise in jersey flegg.. played NSW cup a couple of weeks ago and didn't look out of place in his first game. Gus doing great things with pathways.

Wighton retired from SOO.

The point is he always had that in his game and not so much he has improved... Its more so the team around him has improved which has allowed him to play his game. If you watch the the 2019 Under 20's SOO you'll get what we mean. The only tripe i have with Burto is he needed the confidence...

You get it... You'll also understand when somebody sees how dominant this kid was in the lower grades you would imagine once he really settles in the big leagues he will reach that peak again... If he gets there he'll get a Dally M.

Improved or can we just say its no coincidence what so ever that Burton playing in a team rolling forward and playing with confidence has made his game easier? Do you actually remember the convo we had pre season? Remember when i said we have to give him at least until round 10 to decide whilst...

Why not? U heard of a bloke called Luke Lewis? Started off winning a comp as a skinny winger and finished his career as a cracking SOO and Clive churchhill winning edge running backrower? Critta is very much that build and considering he is only 23 the kid has plenty of growth and will slow...

Not mine... the clubs plan. Not really brain science if u watch all grades, attend sessions, chat to staff, family and friends as well as fellow supporters who follow the younger grades. It's funny because u don't understand that the older you get the more u enjoy the theatre of a build and...

See how it goes. He has been raring to go on sidelines all year and even since last pre season.. i think it will be a different Sutto to last year and if we get Canberra form from him then atleast it's another NRL quality bigger body to choose. Would rather him over Poasa tbh if we have add...

@2ndphase enlighten us all with your infinite wisdom....

Dead set jinxed him... He was so primed. Anyways no rush... Sutto and Suluka will be ready soon anyways.

Maybe but doubt it.. He is a ballzy kid, throws his body around but is still very small and skinny. He'll need to BLOW UP very quickly to handle NRL... I would be patient with him. I honestly think were sticking with Hutch until Oneil is ready and then wait for Woods to knock Oneil of the perch.

So what if there name is published its being seen in front of anyone and everyone that really puts you under pressure to make the right call. Its bascially the difference between being a keyboard warrior and saying shit in physical scenario. You look at other sports... the refs on field make...

We have so many to lock up its crazy.

Because we aren't shit and playing like a real Bulldogs team unlike the garbage we were stuck with since 2018?

Fcuk it... I dont like it. Prefer the one my Daughter wears. In saying that i think my daughter would love this one... what is that Sea shells?

Tigers supporter.

It all depends which position he ends up playing but more than likely it will be on an edge. By the time Alatini comes around we'll have Hayes and Presto playing as our edgerowers and pretty much lockingdown their spots. Then you have Critta whom at 27ish might also push his way into the...

I'd hope not.. Kid is special, best tuk it ezy with this one.

The biggest problem with the bunker is we don't see the guy in the room. If the bunker was visible at the game or atleast broadcast their decision on the big screen they wouldn't have the ability to hide. They shouldn't be called the bunker... they shoukd be known as the 4th ref like soccer...

Few years away. Still a very small kid, hasnt played flegg yet and will need a yr in cup. Let's give him 3 years?

Games to fast.. refs are fatiguing and fcuking up more. Vladys fcuked the game.

One u see Woods you'll be laughing at N.Cleary.

Toddy will be X factor off the bench with Seve. Hopoi and Hughes will be our pack leaders until Underhill takes a spot off one of them. Curran and Marshall can lock down the middle. Whilst Presto and Hayes run rampant on the edges. Then we also have Critta who might develop into a...

Still cant believe we didnt win one in that era...

Cant believe how much of a footy head he is... He understands the game and knows the club VERY well! Be surprised if he isnt floating around reading our comments right now... Hi Adam! Gimme a job, Fred needs an apprentice.... ;)

Over an hour chat... Holey M! Good to see he is a real footy head... Great to have JK and Adam.D at the helm.

Taylor mostly runs basic yardage drills in attack... 1,2,3 punch in behind the markers sort of thing. Apart from that there are a few set plays with the outside backs and decoys but most of the footy just comes off our yardage game and shift plays implemented from the year before. He is a...

Hopoi, Toddy and Hayes will probably all get runs latter this year. Hopoi is actually younger than Hayes and Todd. Marshall is still young.. He has been playing up like Hopoi most of his junior career. Marshall might look a little small but punches above his weight and is actually playing as a...

Kid started his footy at the wrong time at the wrong club... I reckon if he was at the dogs now he would be a much more solid player. He had some low IQ moments but also had some freakish off the cuff plays ala Munster style.

FCCUKKKKK UNCHANGED LINE_UP HAHAHA!!!! MIND GAMESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS........ I havent been this excited for a game against a heavyweight for years!!! I hope we show up and take it to the buzzer... :hearteyes:

Lewis... Kid had X factor and could defend for days. Cleans up his rough edges kid couldve become a decent player.

The kid is pure rocks and diamonds.. hasn't settled in rugby league yet. Hopefully he acknowledges this and bides his time..

Ay dont diss, he had an assist.

We need a stop gap, a classy one atm. Hutchinson is doing a well enough job but we are limping towards finals with him. In the past the club would get a Stuart, Kimmorley type which pretty much gets us to the business end hence the Hunt call... Our kids a raw or not good enough... We...

I think we'll struggle to keep him..

All we need is a genuine experienced HB who isn't injury prone and can do a year or two at the dogs until the kids come through. We ain't getting DCE and Hunt is the next best option before Chad Townsend. I understand he isn't killing it at the dragons but he has literally been carrying that...

Hayes will take over from Kikz one day..

Toddy, Hopoi, Hayes, Underhill, Seve and Marshall. We are set with forwards... just need to make sure we keep them.

@CrittaMagic69 can u get this for me please... reckons Ben Hunt ain't a good option for a couple at the dogs.

To all the "people" saying dogs got the wrong assistant. Fixed it.

If we based an opinion on that logic every player to ever play the game is shit.

They have the team for it... probably lacking a superstar FB or 5/8. Their pack, centre's and wingers are top shelf.

Not really Gents... It was what a real HB does... Reads a 3 on 2 and executes it perfectly. Im telling yas Ben Hunt we go close to winning a comp.

Tell ya what else we are... Up there with the most consistent teams in the comp next to Melbourne and Sharks. Could have beat both those teams too on a different day.

The CC and Critta combo has unleashed the rest of the team. Ben Hunt and we are probably guaranteed to a pre lim spot.

We need one of these ones... Arajuna walks out with team as Ross Emerson No balls Murali (youtube.com)

Its ridiculous.... No penalty try, no prefessional foul sin bin just a penalty. Thats worse then the forwards passes from Thrusday night. To think we were copping those absolute shockers for 5 years.

Warriors season ended when AFB decided to leave.... Webstar struggling to get the peak back they had last year. Everybody waiting for JFH now... Bye Wahs..

Was close to bringing him in but was 3k short... Thank goodness for being broke.

I would rather lose JAC than lose Skelton and Wilso.

To be fair there are only like 2 maybe 3 refs that can handle the NRL atm. The rest cant handle the pace. Thank Vlandys and his obsession with speeding up the game for the extensive injuries and low quality officiating. Can you imagine how good the game and officiating would be if the game was...

Pay up gentleman and be smarter FFS before you cant play and we start losing games at the wrong time. In saying that the Mahoney dump aka dangerous throw was a decent tackle, nothing more thana penalty there.

Looked like she thoroughly enjoyed it too.

He copped it because of his priors, bad record.

Great Kid... Should never be underestimated how important this kids work ethic was too CC and at training specifically the pre-season and how it helped shape this clubs culture today. Hopefully sticks to it and become a late bloomer when he eventually puts some kegs on.

100%... thats a Bunker call. I think the NRL though is making a call on hip drops. If its a non injury, its just a report/penalty but with injury its a bin. The whole sinbin/sent off business needs to be overhauled. How does a dangerous tackle that injures a player only cop 10mins? 10min...

I swear to ya I just searched through the game to find the incident and in my conclusion...... I said the same thing!! hahahaha... Vadger was trying to get out of the way but went the wrong and got stuck between the ball runner and Defender.... Hughes was merely pushing the ref out of harms...

Against the Roosters, Hughes tackled Suali'i and was put on report for the Dangerous tackle (Hip throw suplex thingy). Everybody was saying there was nothing in it and the club decided to fight it at the judiciary... He pleaded not guilty and lost which means he got a bigger fine and extra...

Nahhh I reckon just stop calling six again and bring the speed and fatigue factor down which is causing the mountain of mistakes.

Saw it during the game and was like fcuk.. it wasn't as bad as others though. Interesting to see what happens.. probably going to the judiciary trying to defend that suplex on Suali'i comes back to bite us due to losing and getting extra points. And the one game we really needed him too.
