News Jack Wighton- out of dogs clash

[Cappuccino]

I saw highlights of him in reserves, looks like he can barely move. Need to get early ball to whatever centre is up against him (we won't lol)

Sad, he was on pace to smash every record for points and matches a couple years ago.

 

[Spoonman84]

Majority here are expecting us to win

I agree with you 100%

Especially down in Canberra, Sticky will have them fired up and I have no doubt that they'll probably get the ref sucking them off all afternoon too

Plenty of ex Dogs in that Raiders side who seem to save their best games for when we play them.

is he on their left? likely be averillo

 

[maltalian_dog]

If we play through the middle and really tough it out early we should be them comfortably. But being a dogs fan I go into this game knowing I’ll most likely be bitterly disappointed or we win in a tight contest trying to hold in a nervous shit

CHN especially. He does nothing against the rest of the comp but always plays well against us.

 

[Moedogg]

But he’s got no creativity and their hooker starling no vision just a run and gun hooker

Frawley or whoever is in the halves …..

I think we got these guys

Yes but he's very strong and can push off arm grabbers.

We need a Canbra hooker to dress up like a school teacher, that'll distract him.

Always a Bulldog

Hahahhahaha

We should bring Lichaa as 18th man

The stars are aligning for that fraud Barrett. Happy for us to keep winning but can we fuck him of and get a proper coach !!!

I get that people have a sour taste in their mouth with Barrett. The strike rate hasn’t improved since he’s arrived and we’re still down the bottom of the table. But we’re much better than we were last year. I get that some of that is recruits and rule changes but we are seeing improvement every week. Our defence is better than last year by 7 PPG and we’re off the back of one of the toughest early draws in the fixture. I just think all the while were improving it’s not warranted to ask for Baz’s head.

Yep agreed re the draw. You look at the dragons who have had 4 wins compared to our 2. They have beat the Warriors, Knights and Tigers. Their only decent win came against the Roosters.

They played the panthers without Cleary but still couldnt beat them. Parra and the Sharks towelled them and Souths beat them soundly. I would argue we are going as good as them but the soft draw has granted them a few more wins.

Same as the cowboys. The have played the raiders twice in the first 8 rounds as well as the Titans. They have had decent wins against the Broncos and Eels but they played the Eels in Darwin ffs (genius move by Parra). They havent played a top 4 team from last year in the first 8 rounds. We have played all 4.

The draw is a joke. Losses put the pressure on you early and losing becomes a habit. You cant have 1 team play the top 4 teams from last year in the first 6 rounds like us and then another one like the Cowboys not play any of the top 4 teams until Round 11. Their next 2 games are against Knights and Tigers. Talk about a dream draw

We would be much better off if we were playing them next week.
Often teams can get up for a match with a key player missing, however they regularly find it difficult to maintain it over multiple weeks & tend to drop the matches in following weeks..
Anyways...here's hoping...

True but we just go in not worrying or caring about whats happening with them. Just focus on what we can and will do

If Gus ensures that we stay fired up, I don't see why we can't win.

 

[adamsapple]

When was the last time we won back to back, 2020? 2019?

Final round 2021 and first round 2022
That counts as back to back wins doesn't it?

I'll take it my bro

 

[Howie B]

I'll take it my bro

We have had some cracking losing streaks in the past few years.

 

[ddt192]

I hope we kick the shit out of these flops.

 

[kmr07]

Even match up then
