[Weak Gutted Dog]

Based on player tweets add Inu and Lloyd Perret to the list.

Really hoping Inu plays, maybe fb moving perret to wing and thompson out.

I doubt Thompson would be so easily dropped after his performance last week, but he may be moved to fullback while defending. I'd say Inu would be there in case Stanley doesn't play.

Probably but that is my hope. We need a match winner out wide and on his day (however rare that is) Inu is a matchwinner

Watch Melbourne attack corey all game.

 

[Mr Beast]

If some how we win this game, it would be a massive boost of confidence. I'm optimistic but also realistic, it's going to be a touch match.

How much longer will Kas be in NSW cup?

 

[GeneralLee01]

I really want to see Mbye get a go this week, maybe subbed on for Ennis at some stage. I want to see if he can offer something in attack.

Judging by his performance last week, at least 2 more weeks.

I'm confident and have no grip on reality so I think we should win 40+.

 

[coach]

Dogs 18-12

 

[FaceBreaker]

Storm 32 - 4

I think Perrett is going to be targetted hard.

 

[Bakes]

I can feel the win!

 

[2144superman]

very confident dogs 13+ ...

 

[TheHawk]

Watch Melbourne attack corey all game.

They can attack him all they want. They won't beat him on the ground and he'll be better in the air.

 

[Raikkonen]

Storm 32 - 4

I think Perrett is going to be targetted hard.

I think Thompson and Stanely will be, if they're playing on the wings.

We really need to limit cooper Croonk's opportunities to but kicks into the corners.

The storms back line is always set very deep, runs very fast, with numerous decoys. This could also expose our weaknesses in defence out wide.

Without a doubt cronk is going to rain down hell on our wingers from the air, we are very vulnerable to that sort of attack. Unless our 2 foot high wingers get some good cover it's going to be nasty.

Stanley's not that short. Thompson will cop it though.

 

[Raikkonen]

Josh Reynolds needs to be sprinting out of the line at Cronk on as many 5th tackles as he can

 

[Raikkonen]

Something else I'll be keeping a keen eye on will be how Ennis responds to last week's performance against Penrith. Particularly while he's up against the best hooker in the game?

Will he try too hard, will the pressure get to him, or will he prove his worth? I can't wait to see what happens.

 

[Natboy]

I've tipped dogs. We were impressive against them in the trial at suncorp, they've had tough games and a short turnaround. Woof

 

[Sandra's Bollocks]

until he catches his breath?

we HAVE to win this weekend. i think theyre too p1ssed off and embarrassed at the way we lost last week.
