With morrin and preston out, hoping we use more big bodies this week. Kautoga, Hughes and farmersillyHow good were the Tigers fowards? Each ran over 100m

Sharks were basically at full strength besides Nikora.Weak parra and a weak sharks team .
Pretty sure they had a few forwards outSharks were basically at full strength besides Nikora.
Royce got injured in the warm up and then Finucane got knocked out early tooPretty sure they had a few forwards out
Hamlin Uele and Hunt but their pack was pretty much their best.Pretty sure they had a few forwards out
Nah Royce an illness on the Thursday and Finucane was subbed off normally and then back on...Royce got injured in the warm up and then Finucane got knocked out early too
Nope, 3 forwards got injured during the Tigers game.Pretty sure they had a few forwards out
That’s what I meant, tigers played a weakened teamNope, 3 forwards got injured during the Tigers game.
That's not a weakend team though. That's just what happens during games.That’s what I meant, tigers played a weakened team
What a stupid rule that is.such a shame Galvin can no longer be eligible for rookie of the year with the 2 game suspension
On this weekends results that is very true but Parra without Moses is a very different team. Could all change next week. Lets hope so. But it's going to be a long season again for us Bulldogs fans.The Tigers have made massive leaps forward this year. Taking down two top 8 sides in itself shows that they are no longer a bottom 4 team. They were hammered by the refs today and still overcame the Eels.
We have made some progress defensively, but the Tigers have shown that they are a year ahead of us.
What they have shown with Bula and Galvin is if they are good enough they are old enough…The Tigers have made massive leaps forward this year. Taking down two top 8 sides in itself shows that they are no longer a bottom 4 team. They were hammered by the refs today and still overcame the Eels.

Agree age shouldn’t matter imo either. Doesn’t work for all though. We did with averillo and Alamotti also. Parra 18 year old was pretty bad today. Hopefully Woods or Conti are not to far away for usWhat they have shown with Bula and Galvin is if they are good enough they are old enough…

Alamoti was the best junior through our system for years the sight of Politis at a juniors game made us rush and sign him. That undefeated Matt’s team of 2020 before covid was on the back of Alamoti and others including Papalii were in the team. Alamoti was the star. Hoping juniors come through is a lottery as players develop at different ages and some stop growing & their development stalls.Agree age shouldn’t matter imo either. Doesn’t work for all though.

I’d love to see the kick get retaken for those acts. Been seeing it happen a fair bit last couple years.I don’t know if this will be reviewed by the NRl. But Klemmer was waving his hands and jumping up and down trying to distract Gutherson when he was taking the penalty kick to win the game. This is in the notes relating to Penalty Kicks..

Although Tiges deserved the win Klemmer could have cost em by being a dummy..
That’s my point. Blooding young players is all good when they become established nrl players. A lot of promising juniors don’t amount to anything. We’ve all played with and against superstars coming through, that for whatever reason didn’t make it.Alamoti was the best junior through our system for years the sight of Politis at a juniors game made us rush and sign him.

Winning lower tier comps means nothing. It’s a matter of having 1-2 players emerge that matters. Melbourne do that so well they will bring in a player. Tigers have blooded Bula and now Galvin all the sudden their spine is secure for years to come.
NRL is the only grade that matters everything else is fancy cake decorations. Our coaching and development at NRL and making players NRL ready are our issues.
