Bulldogs Round 23 Team list vs Titans

Hope lichaa is fine and not in any risk of further injury to his knee lets hope his 100% fit, btw welcome back BEASTWOOD

**** if we don't pump the titans this week with the way they've been going we might as well forfeit the rest of the year

 

[blueyedsamurai]

No idea why we have so much trouble with this team, I wont feel safe unless we are 40 points in front.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Surely we will carry Cook for cover, i mean we could potentially have abother Ennis situation with Lichaa. Lose our Hooker and have no one with any NRL experience playing in the 9. Probs to late now i guess.

I just can't see Lichaa being a 100% starter with the way he went off the other day.

If he's not playing Des must be thinking of shifting Moses to Hooker and Jacko to 6 and bring in Lloyd. NSW cup is on Saturday so we'll have to see if Cook plays then.

 

[Mitch Connor]

I wouldn't be so sure that Cook will even get a call up if Lichaa is out. We turn to absolute mud when he's played firsts.

It's a shame because in the right environment he'd be quality.. It's just not here.

I'm calling this..

Lichaa ruled out. Josh Jackson moves to either 6 or 9 (Mbye moves to hooker in that case) and Lloyd comes onto the bench with Lane starting.

Textbook Des move.

 

[Moedogg]

This is a danger game. Teams with no hope of making the finals usualy come out and throw the ball around and try to spoil the party.

* Cook confirmed playing NSW Cup.
* No extra bench named.
* Thompson at fullback FINALLY!!
* Loko still injured with his knee.

 

[Mr Invisible]

NSW Cup should blow them off the park this week. NO excuses.

 

[Rodzilla]

**** if we don't pump the titans this week with the way they've been going we might as well forfeit the rest of the year

thats what we said last year

 

[Izzy Forreal]

Well with the team selected we can only presume Lichaa is okay to play.

But... if Hasler is trying to play his pointless mind games, the NSW Cup game is on Saturday so I suppose Damien Cook could drop out of Saturday's game.

We've also got the extended bench so once again we wait until late mail time on Sunday to find out what's really happening.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

How has Morgan gone in the NYC this year?

 

[Daustin]

danger game but also a must win for us, would love for once if we could just pump a shit team like all the other top teams do instead of playing to their level and winning/losing by a try or 2

Is George Tsikrikas the same George that got done for testing positive to Marijuana a few years ago ? He wasn NYC at the time I think or SG Ball.

 

[blueyedsamurai]

thats what we said last year

True, but we had the points to be able to lose that game, we dont this time.

 

[The DoggFather]

Got a bad feeling about this game....

 

[coach]

We have a horrible record against these muppets, 2012 last win

 

[Dognacious]

Titans surprised us before when they were still a top 8 chance, back when they were in form earlier in the year. Now we should have too much to play for and wont be playing at Titans home. And they arent as good now. We need to put a side to the sword. In the last 2 weeks we have scared roosters and beaten broncos (3rd and 1st) so our form against top 4 sides is reasonable. A bottom 4 side should be slaughtered. We need the F/A.

I reckon Lafai bulking up has worked against him. Since he did that he isnt as elusive and isnt as fast. He did it to avoid injury probably, coz he was injury prone when lighter. But it didnt help his game.

So now, instead of playing brilliantly for a few months then having months off injured in previous seasons, hes there all the time this year, but average.
