Round 1 Bulldogs Vs Manly

[CQDog]

Their squad isn’t that good besides dce turbo olokato Garrick koula
Our bench is better. 3/5 of our back 5 are better, our back row is better our hooker and 5/8 are better. We can get it done

Cooper Johns is better than Burton.

Any official news from the club on how long TPJ will be out, it was origionally stated to be 1-2 weeks then 4-5 now supposidly 6-8 .

 

[KakkaDog]

main issue I have is if we win, are we going to do the doggys are we ready ready song, or have we retired that? that was brought over by Pritchard from the panthers, and since we're still bringing over things from the panthers, i would like a new song.

 

[chemdog]

Who else is going to the game?

What should I expect? This is my first time going to Brookvale Oval

im going to the game but if I were you get there at least 1 hour early parking is shit

I haven't been there in years so idk what its like now with all the new development renovations they've done

 

[chemdog]

Brooky is a great away trip. Things to expect:

- Absolutely 0 parking
- horrible traffic getting in (no PT)
- dirty muddy hill if there’s a drop of rain
- racial abuse
- huge lines for the bathroom

Apart from that it’s great…in saying that it’s probably the most satisfying place to win away at as the bogans trudge past you on their way out at full time

summed it up pretty well

gus said hoping to be back round 4 or 5

 

[My Shawarma]

The plan is get on the beers, then head down to face the ferals.

If we win it will be worth it, if we lose... no thought of that, we must win an all costs.

The main reason I'm going is to see if there are improvements in how we play. How badly these players want to win and if they are buying in.

 

[Hound Dog]

T. Trbo, Koula, Garrick, DCE, J. Trbo (plodder but solidifies the middle), Ola, Tuilagi will be better at Manly

A lot of fire power, T. Trbo alone is a lot.

I guess we'll see how much trial form matters. Gun to head I think we lose by 10+, but anything is possible

DCE although has a lot of haters including myself, steers a ship pretty well. Has all the qualities you want in a halfback really

I still remember the racial abuse the dogs supporters got from woManly supporters when barba scored that last try at Brookvale off the posts to win the game back in 2012. Best revenge.

CMON BOYS PUMP THESE FLOPS

The trial 2 form was real. We will get lapped by Manly this game.
Dare I say our roster looked better first game last year.
Don't expect anything but a big Manly win here, so that when we lose and look inept your not disappointed.
There will be 1 team playing Des ball on Saturday, and it won't be Manly.

I have similar fears.
I just think they have more than 1 playing style and if DCE and Turbo gets a sniff that Gameplan A isn't working, they flip to plan B and we are finished.

Also
If I'm shane Flanagan my kids going to be looked after in RL
Just look at Cooper Johns lol

Yo pure comparing Dad to Joey? Bish peas!

I generally try to cut you some slack by keeping it simple when replying to your comments.

But I have to say, the way you twist the narrative to suit your agenda is politician like, you really should go into politics because you’d definitely keep up with the best of those BS artists.

Example ..

You mention young Flano was coached by Morris, but conveniently leave out that he would have received a lot of coaching over the years from his premiership winning father. You go on to say he was highly regarded at Cronulla but again conveniently leave out the part where they let him walk, and not for an overly ridiculous amount of money, do you think Panthers would have allowed young Cleary when he was just highly regarded to head off to an opposition club?

You say Fitzgibbon was really the brains at the Roosters, not Robinson who is the B2B premiership winning coach. If that’s the case and Flano is as good as you say, why was Fitzgibbon developing another player and not him, or even both, was it also reported that young Flano was receiving specialised training from Cronk?

So, he’s been coached by ..

His premiership winning father.
Morris
Fitzgibbon
Cronk
B2B premiership winner Robinson
Barrett
And now Ciraldo

I think the facts speak for themselves, he’s had very good coaching …

If Fitzgibbon was the real brains behind B2B premiership winning coach Robinson as you say, why then is it such a stretch for you to believe that Ciraldo might have been the real brains behind Cleary’s B2B premierships ….

Instead, you death ride our new coach calling him Barrett 2.0, you death ride most of the players in our team when really the facts are you have absolutely zero idea whether they’ll fail or succeed, you don’t know that Perham is just a reserve grader, if you are forming that opinion on a couple of trial games then you truely have no idea, maybe give the kid 10 games then start judging, when Ciraldo has the team he wants he could win us B2B premierships, who knows, when Gus sacked Cleary after just avoiding the spoon at Penrith in 2015 would you have believed he’d be back there and win B2B premierships?

You are entitled to your speculating and opinions … but the truth is you really have no idea, neither do any of us, but at least most of us here back those in charge that really know the game and what they’re doing.

Personally I wish instead of seeking attention by creating threads & championing a few of the lesser talented players on here, you’d spend more time backing the club coach and the whole team.

By the way, I meant it, get yourself into politics because mate you can spin it with the best of them …

Ffs dude… that’s too long to read at the end of a long day. lol

 

[jordansaba]

everyone just neeeeeeeds to remember they need time to gel. i know it’s a cliche but it’s just facts. u can’t expect them to be inch perfect in round 1 it just won’t happen

yeah 2012 was one of the better away games of the last couple decades, couple hundred dogs fans made the trip on the hill, was 1 vs 2 on the ladder I believe as well, manly fans were absolutely feral that day too

was this the day of that blonde chick? Got dragged by cops I think?

I last was there 50 years ago, sounds like nothings changed

That’s political jargon for I read it and I can’t defend it …

I rest my case … Off to Canberra you go … you’ll be right at home ..

 

[Flanagun]

You our case was that you post long winded and pointless comments? Odd point to make, I’d think… but ok

Agree with everything you've said. I've been to Brookvale heaps of times.. The Manly fans are the worst of any fanbase when it comes to feral behaviour and abuse. Plus it's an absolute shithole...

 

[1967]

You our case was that you post long winded and pointless comments? Odd point to make, I’d think… but ok

Normally I’d question how you’d even know it’s a pointless comment after saying you didn’t read it ….. But considering you’re the master of long winded pointless threads and comments, I suppose I have to let you win this one ..

 

[Dogtime]

Easy money to be made betting Manly here. I can see us getting pumped and Reed and Kikks thinking to themselves after 80 minutes....for fucks sake....it's gonna be a long season.
