Official Round 1 v Cowboys match discussion

[Kung fu man]

I was pretty vocal on keeping Foran who just had a full injury free season.

We probably still have the same conditioner bet even he cant get Waddel injured

 

[B-Train]

You'd think if you were fighting for your NRL coaching career, you wouldn't pick a liability like Okunbur.

 

[Kung fu man]

I have a horrible feeling about this game!

 

[Marki]

I had a horrible dream we lost 55-5 last night.

The penalty count?

Did we at least win the game?

 

[Bulldog1966]

If I was fighting for my NRL coaching career, I sure wouldn't be picking a liability like Okunbur.

Slim pickings with 2 other potential wingers out who you putting there Naden? And Schoupp back in?

Yeah that's what I suggested all preseason. Naden, Schoupp and Burns all have their flaws but they're all way more reliable than Okunbur. Okunbur can single handedly lose you a game in defence if the other team is smart enough to target him repeatedly.

 

[The DoggFather]

Is the dud Burns actually better than Schoupp?

Baz probably knows averillo will flop again will be moved to centre half time then the tree okunborcan go off, BBO on we just get a win

 

[Doggiezbrah]

I get the reason behind why we didn't keep him but then we've gone and signed up more injury prone players LOL makes zero sense. At least Foran is quality when fit, these others guys when fit are reserve grade at best.

We offered Foran a one year contract but he wanted two. We didn’t want to take the risk because we didn’t get much value out of him. It burns me that he had an injury free season last year. He would be the perfect partner for Burton.

Pretty crazy

 

[Bazildog]

Thankfully I bought some Karma with a happy thread I posted because in this thread I can say;

That team list demonstrates Barrett is just Pay2.0 but with a better roster. It’s a clusterfuck just like it’s selector.

 

[dekepefc]

Is the dud Burns actually better than Schoupp?

I don't think so based on that 1 trial game.. then again schoupp was terrible in that last trial too. So I'm kinda judging burns one shit trial game against schoupp somewhat promising rookie season

 

[Doggone1975]

It will be 22-0 at half time..
Not saying which way yet though

 

[The DoggFather]

22-6

Burton will score from his first touch then Baz will tell JMK to avoid him for the rest of the game, just like the trial.

 

[D- voice]

Na, he is just a fraud with NFI.

You think his selections are bad, wait till you see his "game plan" and bench rotations...

I say no more

Let the guys know its frigging hot up here in townsville 32 degrees today but feels like 38 humidity 68. Been like this for over a week now
Could be bearable by kick-off go dogs.

 

[Blueandwhiteblood1968]

It wouldn't be the best centre wing pairings ever but any combination is better than okonbor

A sack of potatoes lying on the ground would be better then knoconbore.

 

[Blueandwhiteblood1968]

I'm guessing Baz is picking names out of a hat or he's had a lobotomy, I could be wrong.

Burton’s kicking game will be a massive help here and massive key to victory.

 

[Trafford10]

Knockonmor to knock on at least 2 times and let in 2 tries with his shithouse positioning.

Only 2 knock ons?
Are you talking about the whole game or the 1st 10 minutes?
