Official Team List Round 22 v Warriors + Match Discussion

[KiwiDog7]

I don't know our record against them recently but I feel like they always get 1 over us (I guess everyone was beating us). This might be a bit tougher too since it's in NZ.

We only play them once a year

We haven’t beaten them since Lewis drop goal in 2019

2018

 

[CCC]

Great news if that's the case. Will settle him down and put life in perspective..happy for him and praying for a healthy baby [emoji120]

deserves some good luck after what they have been through. Glad we let him go home

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Our bench is so weak, not sure how Ava doesn't get a run considering he made a successful return to cup last week. Skelton in for ZDC and I'd maybe look at pushing RFM back to the bench and maybe even consider playing him through the middle.

 

[Rebuilding Phase]

TPJ's wife expecting a baby and that's the reason he isn't playing this week

That’s amazing news. Especially after going through such pain last year as a couple I’m really hoping for a safe birth

 

[Robbothedestroyer]

WTF Potter is just going thru the motions. No changes except for TPJ.
We got monstered in the forwards last week and expect the kiwis to deliver much the same with their big boppers targeting easy yards up the guts.
Docker clay and potato good for 10 minutes each off the bench. Stimpson is a spud.
Ava would have provided so much more.
Time to name the new coach and start planning for new year.

 

[w00t]

Our bench is going to cause us problems again, hopefully we rack up a score in the early stages.

Whenever our starting forwards go off we end up getting rolled in the middle.

 

[xreedmatic]

Bulldogs forward Tevita Pangai Junior will be unavailable for our encounter with the Warriors. Pangai Junior has remained in Australia for family reasons.

Here we go

 

[CQDog]

Here we go

Wife’s having a baby.

Edwards is a good inclusion he’s pretty good. Probably our best on the bench. Stimson has been doing alright I guess. Get rid of the other 2 but

Edwards is a player who u start imo, just plays good defense, makes shit loads of tackles but not much metres. Doesnt bring any impact off the bench, topine should be in ZDC role, get Ava on for Stimson and Makatoa or Stuckey for Patolo but i fee like Patolo can start playing some minutes now.

Edwards should start with Topine on the bench

AVA and Skelton to come in for ZDC and Patolo

 

[ShepardDog]

have a bad feeling about this one fellas (never mind)

 

[Philmus]

weak bench, average pack. still have some strike in the squad though and should win. if we can match it with the cows then we’ll be right against the warriors. would hope skelton gets a start in the 14 jersey and morrin comes in for stimson but even then the warriors have a bigger pack than us

We havent even had a session yet in training lol.. shocking scheduling

 

[ShepardDog]

im expecting 2 JAC intercept tries 1 try off a Burton grubber kiraz scoring from a burns flick pass and a try for rfm with wahs only scoring 2 soft tries we shouldn't have let in. Final score dogs: 20 warriors: 10

 

[senshidog]

Definitely a game we can't get complacent over, or we'll end up embarassed.

Warriors aren't a bad side in reality, and have a decent forward pack.

TPJ's wife expecting a baby and that's the reason he isn't playing this week!

UNACCEPTABLE!!! It's a bloody outrage I say! HOW DARE HE!

Actually in many ways could explain him playing a little off in recent games, given she lost a baby really late in pregnancy not that long ago.

yeah and the delayed flight didn’t help either. short turn around with an overseas game is just stupid

Nice.
Reckon RFM would bust a nut if he scored a try, been a bit unlucky.

 

[Bob dog]

Their pack kinda shits on ours lol

The starting lineup looks star studded to me and thats how they gotta think.
