Official Round 1 - Bulldogs vs Eels - Discussion Thread

[Cappuccino]

Stimson not really on the ball tonight. First game jitters. Hopefully comes good

If only we had a more dynamic second rower playing in that slot tonight eh

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Its done us well so far considering the completion rates and should probably be up 4-2. Probably see this for another 10-20 then tactics will change and dogs will start shifting the ball.

That bs, just fucking play footy. Lewis is crippling the side when he's on the ball.

Appreciate it's only round 1, but one does wonder where our points are going to come from this year.

 

[Howard Moon]

What about lil Wakeham havin a fuckin dig in defence ay?

he's impressed me man bringing down some of the hardest to tackle blokes in the game.. crazy shit

He’s in the cubicle getting his own action

 

[Bull Terrier]

Enjoyed first half defence outstanding. Go you dogs

 

[Bluebody]

If we stay in this game until the last 15 - 20 mins, I think Wakeham could come into his own and put them away with a couple of touches of brilliance against a tired forward pack.

Effort yes, but with the ball in hand we're horrendous but Pay thinks Lewis is a halfback so?

First game mate,Parra coach must be spewing if he thinks they are a premiership chance.

Penalty goals. We'll just kick 20 penalty goals per game.

Has Lewis been instructed to not let Wakeham try anything?

Lewis is acting like some 300+ game 1st grader and not letting wakeham play.

Whilst wakeham is on the field i have hope we'll win. Lewis needs to snap the fk out n let wakeham play and eventually control the game.

Cogger would be a perfect fit for wakeham.

Gunna need some good penalty counts lol

 

[Trafford10]

Would like to see if its seriously tactics though... Will know if they change when they actually try to win not stay in grind towards the backend of the game.

True, but Parramatta have dominated field position so I feel like we are reliant on a Parramatta error to build any type of pressure in attack.

 

[Snowmann]

NAPA IS A FUCKING MACHINE and looks to be taking a leaders roll this year.

 

[Bulldog_4_Life]

Just need someone to step up and be the spark that leads us to victory now. Its there for the taking.

 

[Bluebody]

Lews does not look comfortable in his running game or passing game and that is meant to be second nature to that position!

His big high kicks are good - we wasted them with poor discipline tackling too early.

 

[Bazildog]

Proud as punch with the effort and defensive steel. The attack is a basket case Wakeham NEEDS ball we aren’t winning it with literally everything going through Lewis. The only time we have had a result at the end of the tackle count is when Wakeham kicked it. Mix is up and give Wakeham a chance to do something!

Because they have the wrong numbers on their backs but overall the gameplan and grit is solid.

 

[GrogDog]

Proud of the boys first half! Wish Smith would hold the fukin ball! lol

 

[silva]

Lewis has been a rock go easy. As long as he makes his tackled and kicks good hes doing well. Opportunities will come

 

[The DoggFather]

Wakeham needs to be leg loose. Looks like Lewis is instructed to keep him out of the game.
