New Zealand Warriors v Canterbury Bulldogs preview

[Howard Moon]

wow.. I'm really surprised he went with meaney over hoppa at the back ... but I'm glad he did.. conservative thinking is not what we need ..

agree. I don't mind this at all.. Hoppa will pick up where Dutchy left off with Smith, and Kerrod will continue his form from the end of 2018/ the trial run. I don't know how Meaney will go defensively if he is put back there, but there is only one way to get the experience, and it ain't by playing in the ISP

It was only the expected team list, not the actual one. But it seems the most likely one to get chosen.

With Papali'i being rubbed out for off-field incidents I'm confident we can put them away now. I was optimistic heading into the game but now their engine room is weakened.

No luke either. Everything in our favour

 

[Spoonman84]

It’s going to turn into a grind for sure we just have to limit RTS and we will go along way to winning the game. The kicking game has to be spot on. Their halves don’t scare me at all I think if we can score more then 3 tries we will win. Although it’s Round 1 so it’s always a lottery to some extent.

Good to see Burr get a start

 

[JOHNY BULLDOG]

Will be great to start our season with a win gents! I'm bloody confident,can't wait for this-GO THE MIGHTY DOGGIES!

 

[Mr Invisible]

Will open up the Team List and discussion thread when the Official Bulldogs team is released.. and shift posts over to that made here (else it's gonna get messy).

Should be out around 4PM. Warriors side comes out 3PM Sydney Time.

Hopefully Canterbury Cup and lower grades are dropped at same time so I can update all threads.

Limit RTS and the Fus and we win
