I’m interested, I sent you a DM

Sorry if it’s the wrong section, but does anyone have 3 tickets to the Dogs vs Eels game tomorrow that they want to sell? I made the mistake of leaving it too late, I didn’t realise it would sell out.

Yeah but Fittler’s the coach, so it kind of cancels each other out lol Nah but in all seriousness your right, that team is stacked.

TPJ is the best forward in the game when he wants to be. Unfortunately he rarely gives it his best, but hopefully that can change after Origin.

Begun, the Thread War has.

Yeah nah I think it’s time for the mods to ban a few users. Imagine wishing death on other people’s families because of a match of football. Absolutely cooked thing to say.

Black Wilson…

To be fair the Raiders had the long kick covered. The bomb in this situation was probably the best choice of kick, but it would have been better to run the ball instead.

So yelling ‘bullshit’ at someone is now abuse…

Ofahengaue and I. Papali’i to the Dogs, Schuster to Tigers, and Flanno to Manly. Confirmed by the voices in my head this morning.

Imagine the mods merge, but they keep the Dog vs Dragon title

Can’t see us beating Dragons with that team tbh

I think he’s only ever played 1 game for us from memory, Round 1 2021 against Knights.

Would you rather he have continued to play without the pain-killing injections? I’m not sure what you’re trying to say with the second half of your comment.

1. Perham 2. Wilson 3. Skelton 4. Alamoti 5. Casey 6. Burton 7. Oloapu 8. King 9. Mahoney 10. TPJ 11. Davey 12. Preston 13. RFM 14. Waddell 15. Sutton 16. Okunbor 17. Hughes

Burns isn’t playing, Okunbor is starting on the wing.

Imagine replacing JAC with Okunbor on the wing…

I don’t get the Kennel’s obsession with suggesting position swaps for successful players. Kiraz is a great centre / wing, I don’t know why we’d move him to fullback.

After the last week of reading Kennel threads, I genuinely can’t tell if this is a joke referring to Burton at Penrith or if it’s a serious suggestion lol

I think Nasheed is the more professional one tbh

So far: Sutton and Flanagan are garbage, Alamoti a liability in defence, and Perham doesn’t seem to be the answer at fullback. It’s gonna be a long season if those players don’t improve

Yes you can, I know my tinsy winsy bit will

Trust the Kennel to write off players based on one preseason game. Both these teams today have been terrible. Only way to really know how Perham and the rest of our players really perform is from Round 1 onwards.

Sometimes a man must buy in order to breed.

Have to agree with you here. Everyone has their opinions on him, but anyone thinking that there’s no risk in signing him to play fullback is delusional. There is no way to tell how good of a fullback he’ll be, only speculation, so for $750k or whatever the number is, it’s a massive risk.

My guess would be 1. Averillo 2. Kiraz 3. Alamoti 4. Skelton 5. JAC 6. Burton 7. Flanagan 8. Pangai Jr 9. Mahoney 10. Thompson 11. Kikau 12. RFM 13. King (C) 14. Brown 15. Davey 16. Pele 17. New prop signing We need a few more props, our current forward pack doesn’t have much size.

Here’s a quick crash course on eshay language: Bonus ex-Bulldogs player impression as well at 1:40

That’s how I reacted when Knockonbur let that try in…

Anyone still doubt that the NRL is rigged?

Anyone still doubt that the NRL is rigged?

Waddles is gone, Stimson has 1 more year

Don’t really want to get into the argument, but this is what immunity means - from Merriam-Webster dictionary. “the quality or state of being immune especially : a condition of being able to resist a particular disease especially through preventing development of a pathogenic microorganism or...

We could sign the best outside backs for next year but we still wouldn’t make the finals. Our issue is our forwards. I’d rather persist with Averillo at fullback and give him an offseason to train there. That way, we’d be able to target some forwards with the money saved, like Haas and Tapine...

The Cameron Ciraldo announcement is just a smokescreen, I can confirm that there’s still a deal being worked on for Fittler to coach us. Wouldn’t be surprised if it gets announced sometime in the next month or two.

Also hearing someone by the name of Michael Hunt is joining the support staff, not sure in what capacity though.

Lol at the last line. Brandy thought he’s getting one over Gus but he just comes out of this looking childish.

Eh, not really excited by this, especially considering it’s a 5 year deal. But like always, I’ll wait until next year before making any judgements. Hopefully for everyone’s sake he gets us firing next year.

I’ve said this since the beginning, I think he’s great in every aspect of his game except for the key skills required by a hooker; service and vision. I think having Bennett helping him fix up those parts of his game will make him a much better hooker, and is probably the best move JMK could...

This has been the worst half of footy played this year by them. Who’s idea was it to take a home game to Bundaberg right before the game in NZ? It looks like the game plan is to spread the ball early, but the players are clearly underdone so they keep dropping it. Also why was Topine...

It’s no coincidence our right side defence turned to shit after he replaced Allan.

Is it just me or did the article not even say we’ve talked to him yet. “Reynolds is currently holidaying in Europe with family but plans are in place for him to sit down with the Bulldogs powerbrokers once he returns in a fortnight.” Doesn’t confirm anything at all, it’s probably more media...

It was a joke lol, the Lebanese fullback literally dropped the ball every time he touched it, even his try was a knock on but they missed it.

Averillo is a lost cause tbh. How about that Rizk guy, the fullback for Lebanon? He went alright, where’s he signed for next season?

Still can’t believe O’Brien said that. Would be surprised if he isn’t sacked in the next week.

I’m not sorry, his service is still garbage. Multiple times today he took the wrong option, and some of his passes were shocking. It’s a shame because everything else(running, defence) is amazing. If he can fix up his service, he’ll easily be a top 5 hooker.

Has played very selfishly recently, like he wants all the glory. Won’t pass to JAC at all, and cut him off from the Burton kick which ruined the try. He needs to either learn to play for the team and not himself, or he can go play centre in NSW cup.

Was about to comment on this, it’s like he read your posts after the last game. Good to see him changing it up a bit.

Honest question, what’s the point? There is genuinely nothing that gets achieved by wearing a jersey with a rainbow on it. Pointless virtue signalling.

That’s my only issue. It was 100% an escort, but there was no on-field call to challenge. Ref should have called an escort penalty, then allowed Tigers to challenge it. Instead we get this farce.

After watching Skelton in reserve grade just now, we don’t need Crichton at all. 1. Averillo 2. Kiraz 3. Schoupp 4. Skelton 5. JAC

Hand Injury Assessment

1. Averillo 7. Anyone except Flanagan

Okunbor had time to make the tackle though, but he went for the intercept instead.

This is how wars start… Probably should have specified the “over 3 years” part in your original comment lol

Maybe we should also buy all your beauty salons, see how your players play without getting their manicures.

Easiest way to kill the rebuild is to sign Crichton on big money. There is absolutely no way Gus is stupid enough to do that.

After actually reading the article, this is most definitely more of Gus’ mind games. The media are getting played again.

Yeah nah any excitement I had for next season will be gone if we sign him. I hope I’m wrong but I can’t sit through another 3+ years of garbage. In saying that, I doubt he’s actually signed with us. Probably more of Gus’ mind games.

Make “Sack (new coach)” threads

In other words, they’re saying that Eels will be garbage next year without the players they let go. I’d take this as a compliment that we signed a good player.

I hope you’re talking in cents and not dollars

NSW’s “pack” were a bunch of pussies on Wednesday night. We lost because they just stood by and made absolutely no impact.

Don’t have an issue with Gagai tbh. From his perspective, his teammate got taken out off the ball, and the punching was mutually started between him and Burton. Tino on the other hand is an absolute dog. Was in every fight that game, as well as the high shot on Burton. Needed Haas there to...

We will not win a game if Freddy is our coach next year

His effort is there, but unfortunately size will always play a factor, especially in the forwards. Should be in the team over Stimson though.

Yeah he went out there to purposely drop balls and randomly decided to headbutt Fifita’s shoulder.

Seriously. We win a couple of games, it’s all “Give Burton a million” and “We can make the grand final”. We lose a game in the worst conditions I’ve seen in a while and it’s back to “Burton is a centre” “Lock in the spoon” “Casey is the worst player ever”. While I’m disappointed with the...

First game I’ve been to since I was 12 (2011 vs Dragons at ANZ - we lost). Amazing atmosphere at CommBank and great to experience a win. Only sat in GA but felt surreal, and a much different experience compared to watching it on TV. Was interesting analysing attack and defence in different...

I don’t think Josh Rizk caught a ball all night. Even the try he scored should have been a knock on.

Lebanon leading 20-8 at half time with a third-grade quality team. Thoughts on their coach? Could be a potential option for the head coach role next year. Not sure of his previous record though.

Unless he gets injured, we will. No games this week, it’s next week 6 days after Origin.

Barrett came to this sorry excuse of a team, tried to fix it but couldn’t succeed, then had the decency to realise this and resign. No point going on about a guy who at least tried but was out of his depth.

Except NSW already have wingers. Our first and second choice centres are out (Wighton, Latrell, Turbo) so it’s only natural to play someone that’s in form and able to play centre. Staggs did nothing in Game 1 and deserved to be dropped. He got hooked for Crichton during the match.

Bit too early say Potter is good enough to be our head coach. In saying that, I liked what I saw against Parra, and if we can continue to play that way for most of our games, I wouldn’t be opposed to him becoming our head coach.

Only changes I’d make are swapping TPJ and King.

5 year deals are proven to be great for both the coach and team. Just ask Broncos.

I like that backline much better, and Burton is a much better choice than S.Crichton on the bench. I’d pick RCG over Martin on the bench though.

This is exactly what the Kennel wants to hear lol

Let’s start a rumour. Hastings and Doueihi linked to Sydney club after messy Maguire exit

Lol at anyone who thinks Gus is taking his time and doing nothing behind the scenes. What club sacks a coach and doesn’t start looking for a new one immediately? We won’t end up with another club’s sloppy seconds.

Needs to stay in reserve grade. Rushing players to first grade is not the way to go, as evident by Averillo, BBO, and some other juniors

Omar days, another thread. They should rename this forum to “The Omar” very soon.

He had a few plays tonight: 1. Crab across the field and pass to a forward 2. Inside ball to a forward 3. Die with the ball

This is 110%, without a doubt in my mind, Nasheed. The perfect touch of irony in this comment only he can make.

Haven’t seen him in reserves, but based on his first grade games in the last few years, he won’t make a difference in our forward pack. We need size and impact, we get absolutely dominated by every pack, especially without TPJ. In saying that, he should be there over both Stimson and Waddell.

I thought I’ve seen it all after people on this forum writing off JAC and Burton based on one bad game last week. Then this thread comes out bagging an interim coach who’s been in the role for 2 weeks. What do you expect Potter to do in 2 weeks? He’s not Harry Potter, he can’t just magic up a...

Will wait and see how he does with more games at fullback. Better than Dufty though, at least he tries to tackle.

This aged well haha

I won’t ever go for QLD, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they win 3-0 when playing against Fittler.

If Fittler somehow becomes our head coach, we’re guaranteed the spoon for the next 3 years. His decision making is cooked. Who plays Wighton at centre with Stephen Crichton on the bench?

Exactly. Had a terrible game today and has been mediocre most of the year, but where is his halves partner? Flanagan does absolutely nothing all game other than die with the ball. Put Averillo back at 7, he and Burton had the best combination out of the halves so far.

Other than the voices in my head, not much unfortunately.

Bump ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Funny story, I saw Payne at a grocery store in Brisbane yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he...

I’m doing the Kennel’s version of edging

Why would they need to compensate themselves?

Latest mail from my source is that Haas is signed for 2023. She hasn’t got one wrong yet, so can almost guarantee it.
