Official Round 4 - Dogs vs Storm - Consolidated Match Thread

[doggieaaron]

Holland has had an ordinary start but full credit hes having a great game today ,okunbor looks a great prospect he just seems to lack confidence and needs to run like semi rad

 

[GrogDog]

I disagree, half the kennel called for RFM for Lichit

Not arguing I'm saying anyone would have been better BUT we have Lichaa so I just hope the **** can rise considering the effort of the rest of the team!

 

[magdog]

Big 40 mins...potentially season defining.

 

[The DoggFather]

All the money is on the storm
The betting would want us to win

How do we really know, all I know is whoever the refs help is the team that will maximise profit or minimize losses.

 

[Interestingg]

If we had a full bench I’d back us to victory. Not confident with 1 forward and Lichaa

 

[Dognacious]

Anyone else scared at the idea of Lichaa coming on??

Thought that late in the half. Surely they wont bring him on unless JMK becomes gassed. Being down 2 fowards we need to rest the forwards most and not waste interchanges with hookers.

 

[Spoonman84]

Be huge if we could get CHN back but think it’s unlikely with the way he went down.

 

[EXPLORER]

im thinking okunbor will be staying in the starting side. Holland and him go well together. Hollands defence has been good today.

I agree
I have egg on my face
I never rated okanbour or meeny
But they are doing well and holding their own

Holland has looked better since that combo

I’m liking it
Sack Pay

Went to the tab this morning to put $100 on the dogs at 9.30 it was closed not open till 11.00 now im kicking myself i didnt go back . I know its not over but had a good feeling about this game . Go doggies

 

[Boxer]

The refs have 'alarms' on their watches & the siren must have been out.

Refs go by their watches.

Lol ok so only now that they do this.

Maybe use Lichaa as a second row and just for tackling? Keep JMK where he is??

 

[Costa84]

Can't believe how bad storms wresting in the fuck is... not penalized once... such blatant cheating allowed to continue

 

[doggieaaron]

What I take out of that 40 is: -

• The team does not give a shit what odds and commentators think. They have relished the challenge and back themselves to compete and win.
• When we are on, we are on! The confidence, the skill across the park to move the ball and hold onto it, the consistent defence and toughness.
• We have fuck all experience and don't seem to give a shit - we are playing as if it does not matter - love it.
• We have ambushed Melbourne who would have struggled to take us seriously based on where they are at and where we are.
• We are winning this game in this first 40 at least because Melbourne have no answers. Their fluke bullshit try is the only reason they are not ZERO!
• We have intensity, straight lines, eagerness to play the ball fast, hit the line hard. And it is throughout the 40!
  
  How awesome to come out and do it again for 40 and shock everyone! Finger's crossed!

I think its good storm are still in it rather than a big lead our boys will be switched on

Why doesn’t pay just drop Lichaa
We needed him against the bears today lol

 

[KLil]

Holland is playing like the best centre in the world!!

I said to the boys I'm watching with.. if Holland has a good game we got a chance.

In saying that okunbor will see alot of traffic this half.. both gotta be on.

 

[Blueandwhiteblood1968]

i'd rather be down to 1 on tghe bench than having lichaa come on to slow our plays down and kill any momentum

Lichshit is woeful in attack but his defence is probably what we're going to need in the 2nd half.

 

[Heckler]

Hopefully we have laid the platform to continue for a victory in the second half. Nonetheless im very proud so far.

 

[Dingo]

I'm proud as punch with that first half effort. That was fucking excellent to watch. Hope we can continue it with 15 men.

 

[dogwhisperer]

Since we’re down on forwards JMK has to play the whole 80 at dummy half and use Lichaa as an extra forward to hit it up and for his defence only
