Round 12 - Bulldogs vs Tigers - Team List and Game Discussion Thread.

[Haslerhasworms]

Happy to see Olive get a go. If he is average or the dogs lose, does he start next week or does pay put Holland or someone else from ISP in?
Maybe it's worth rotating 2 or 3 guys a week and working on combos for next year plus giving those younger blokes a chance to see what they have in FG.
Thoughts?

I have an idea that Eastwood may play in FG this week. To'omaga and Martin are not up to it.

Hahahahahahaha

 

[Tacky]

Tigers are a top 4 side on paper ? Ffs if tigers are a top 4 side on paper we're a top 2 side on paper.

Our forwards clearly cover tigers forwards, on paper, except for Martin and jmk

On paper we've got 3 SOO and Australian reps in our backline

On paper we've got the nz five eighth

You guys should win easily then ay?

You don't drop a bloke after 1 game.

It's not my line of reasoning is it numpty.

how sad is it when we are sitting here expecting a loss when vs the tigers oh how times have changed.

think we have a shot this weekend as others have stated tigers are running a lil higher than how good they are atm i think.

if our forwards go well (expecting woods to have a big game vs old side) i think we will be in the hunt here.

I am expecting the refs to dud us more than anything.

Steve turner agrees with you

Steve Turner's prediction: The Tigers found it tough against the Panthers last weekend and are showing signs of inconsistency. They will be hoping the inclusion of Josh Reynolds this week sparks them against the Dogs. Canterbury need a win.

There has been so much spoken about the Bulldogs, but it's now time for their football do the talking. Aaron Woods will line-up against his former club and with Origin selection just around the corner, Woods and David Klemmer will be looking for big performances to impress New South Wales selectors.

Tip: Bulldogs by 4

Ohhh How I hope I'm wrong but,
I'm expecting a typical 2018 NRL performance, us getting f***ed by Klein in some way that saps our confidence then struggle to capitalise on scoring opportunities and will most likely lose 20-10 with Moses kicking three penalty goals

 

[Mr Invisible]

My point is... in all (but one game we have won) we have never looked like "winning". We've forgotten how to win games and close them out.

Being really blunt... we've won 3 games: Eels, Cowboys and Panthers and sit 14th from 16 on the ladder.

EELS
Won by 8.
Currently bottom of ladder at 16/16.
Injury depleted coming into game.
Lost players during the game.

COWBOYS
Won by 17.
Currently second last on ladder at 15/16.
The only game we've looked in command of this season, against a woeful Cobwoys side who continue to struggle.

PANTHERS
Won by 2.
Currently second on ladder 2/16, and flogged us second time we met
Scored twice due to Panthers errors/intercept try.
Panthers lost Cleary at half time.

Did u watch penrith v tigers last week?? Top 4 on paper?
I think your a closet tigers fan.

I haven't watched any Rugby League for about a fortnight (definitely none last week). I've been bedside spending as much time with my grandfather as he had left.

Turner tips us basically every week lol

Just reading that someone mentioned tigers a top 4 team on paper. Wtf? You must be drunk. Tigers fans were expecting to be 0-12 at this point. Cleary has had them playing above there weight this season and early wins were based on super defensive efforts, which teams can not sustain over a season. I think we’ll win. Tigers attack has been average last few weeks.

Tigers have far better strike power than us.

Yeah the guy making that comment just stated he hasn't watched an NRL game in 2weeks and comments on us getting done by 60+ points or something???? By a side who have beat 1 team in their last 5. Lost to parra and newcastle in those 5 and couldnt score a try against penrith last week and were lucky to get 1 against the warriors who pumped them.

I dunno? Some people like to throw out random shit without any facts behind it. Its really not that hard to look at a teams form before posting.

Well said! The Tigers have scored 174 points all season and we have 173 but they are all of a sudden going to pile 60+ on us....

 

[old school dog]

Who cares.

 

[vegny]

Turner tips us basically every week lol

Yeah. Its an art how he can come up with logical explanation every week why he tips us lol

 

[Bob dog]

Prepare how we did for the Cowboys, gotta win this one surely, we need those goal kicks plus one more try.

 

[Dawgfather]

I haven't stayed close to the news this week.

Is RFM back in the side or is he still injured?

Any word on Tolman?
