Weapon @Dognacious cheers mate!

Hahaha I’m a 1 league operator and I’m already in one with my mates anyway. Multiple leagues is way too much effort. I’m not sure what the dynamic is on here with SC but I wouldn’t mind being in a group of kennelers.

I’m clearly way too late for the league but is there any chance of a kennel group on supercoach? You can have unlimited teams and it’s just based on total points but could be a shout for fun and bragging rights?

Bright future, that’s for sure!

@Critta Magic on a side note, you weren’t kidding about Preston. Fuck me dead. Impressive.

I know you’re taking the piss, but I legitimately read their comments like this :tearsofjoy:

I’m with you here mate. Cannot for the life of me figure out what people are so upset about. He runs the ball, he gets trapped with it. He passes, doesn’t create anything. For comparison, Reynolds had 2 runs for about 8 meters and got just as, if not more smashed than Flanagan, and Josh is the...

Mate ya love to see it. Just want to see it all season now.

Yeah, tigers, who leaked 42 points :tearsofjoy:

Final position - 8th Win/loss - 12/12 - 0.500 For/Against - Positive (gets us into finals)

1. Perham 2. Addo Carr 3. Alamoti 4. Averillo 5. Kiraz 6. Burton 7. Flanno 8. Thompson 9. Mahoney 10. King 11. Kikau 12. RFM 13. Sutton 14. Brown/Topine 15. TPJ 16. Pele 17. Preston

Happened right infront of me. My jaw hit the floor. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a hooker throw a triple cut out to the winger from left midfield like that. Was even more blown away that butter fingers Okunbor actually caught it.

Certainly got some nice speed for a big boy

Ahh okay. I watched it live at the game and haven’t seen the replay yet but I’ll keep an eye on it when I do!

Can’t argue with that hahaha

Not bad at all! Is 8 tackles enough involvement though? Fuck he hit someone hard when we were defending our line. I could see him eyeing him off during the play the ball. Hit him hard ball and all. Bone rattler. That was nice to watch.

I thought that was Topine?

He also took the hit up under the sticks towards the end of the game, quick to his feet and gave Brandon Clarke the quick play the ball to get up and score his try. Watching that live made me very moist. I tried to focus on Pele’s defence because that has been one of his main drawbacks from...

Yeah I agree there mate the execution isn’t the best. But his communication and direction is very solid.

I was at the game and Haywood was fantastic. The options you’re speaking of was because Joash’s positioning was off, and Haywood let him know about it. He was very vocal, told him to sweep after a dud 5th tackle option because Joash was nowhere to be seen. A few sets later had all 3, Rajab...

I screenshotted Riccio’s quote so that if we do make finals I can send it to him to rub it in his face.

He debuted there and played the rest of the season there in his debut year.

Hahaha yeah, except channel 9 commentators can’t commentate.

If only I could finish early this afternoon.

Honestly, I think the best option would be for certain Membership packages, you get access to all bulldogs games, streamed live with Bulldogs biased commentary. The NBA do a similar thing. If you have their league pass you can choose between commentators that are biased for each team. They don’t...

100%. Notice how as soon as 1 reporter asked him to comment on the CBA, and he did, that became the all of the reporters sole focus. I’ve vowed to stay away from mainstream media as best I can this year. Bloke in a bar always talks about all the major topics in Rugby League news so I’m happy to...

Sweet! Keen to watch him on Sunday.

Full Strength would you assume we see: 1) Hayze Perham 2) Jacob Kiraz 3) Jake Averillo 4) Paul Alamoti 5) Josh Addo-Carr 6) Matt Burton 7) Kyle Flanagan 8) Luke Thompson 9) Reed Mahoney 10) Max King 11) Viliame Kikau 12) Ray Faitala-Mariner 13) Ryan Sutton 14) Fa’amanu Brown 15) Chris Patolo...

Excited to see what Preston is like. Haven’t seen much of him.

Once again Telegraph get it wrong. No Perham. Fucking idiots.

Yes, Daily Tele gets everything correct.

1) Rooster 2) Shark 3) Rabbit 4) Panther 5) Cowboy 6) Storms 7) Sea Eagle 8) Eel 9) Bulldog 10) Tiger 11) Raider 12) Bronco 13) Knight 14) Titan 15) Warrior 16) Dolphin 17) Dragon

I’ll be at the game, keen as!

I’m from South Coast New South Wales and will be attending the Raiders trial match in Moruya if anyone wanted to meet up there.

Gus should retweet this with the article Buzz wrote about us not using drones at training :tearsofjoy:

Truth is you, (or me, or anyone) doesn’t have to understand the thinking behind the JR to top 30 move. It’s obvious Ciro and Gus and all the other coaching/leadership team see value in it in some form, even if we don’t. It’s fun to speculate and offer our opinion on these decisions (that’s the...

Yeah I agree mate! Even from the outside looking in you can tell not many (if any) of the boys like him too much. Not really sure if it’s a personality thing or a “you suck at footy” thing but you can certainly see it.

I 100% agree. As a SuperCoach player who owned Fifita I watched his games a lot last year and it was as if Campbell was allergic to him. Saw so many clear opportunities for Fifita on the TV and Campbell just ruined it.

Are you dirty on Reed because he said you were his least favourite team mate?

My mistake there. Regardless, he’s only ever shown glimpses of his potential across his whole career. Hasn’t been able to do it consistently. I think I might be salty because I had huge, game breaking expectations from him last year and he didn’t deliver in the slightest. My hopes are still...

That’s a very Gus thing to do. Wouldn’t shock.

You would think so, but I reckon Fermor (who runs a great line) is better suited to Forans style of squaring up defenders. Fifita is the guy you just give early ball on the front foot and watch him bulldoze *****. I think he’ll play on the right and the 7 who uses him properly will keep the spot.

I’ve been hoping for TPJ to fire for 2 years now. My hopes for him no longer exist and regardless of how he goes this year I’m happy to see him leave the club at the end of the year. I say that because if he kills it this year he’ll command a similar price to his last one and he’s proven he’s...

I reckon whichever 7 uses Fifita correctly will cement their spot.

Gus said on twitter the other day that Patolo is training really well this preseason and impressing. Make of that what you will but it could mean we get his best season yet. I think a lot of these previously fringe guys, could become solid options this year without Barrett stunting their growth...

Yeah 100% I agree. I was actually asking the question though hahaha.

Would Tigers be paying some of Musgrove’s salary though? Since he was meant to be a tiger for 2 more years? If Tigers are paying half of Musgrove’s, ($250k) they’re effectively swapping Musgrove for Klemmer and paying $650k for him.

Yeah I heard that aswell, if he can fold cup players aswell I reckon he’s a huge shout to finish the year in the halves. Gonna go give that Willy Mason pod a listen in my lunch break. Sounds like he’s already folding squad players.

There’s a couple of salty and intellectually challenged Broncos fans commenting on the instagram version of that video (all broncos fans are). I agree with most of what Beak mentions about Karl too. Can’t wait to see him break out.

Even if he is available, Manly having the bye round 2 just screams he will be rested. It essentially gives him an extra 3 weeks for a 1 game sacrifice. If he plays, it will be Seibolds first mistake at manly.

Hahaha yeah that’s him. This is a screenshot of what she is referring to.

Nah Spencer Leniu. She hasn’t heard any updates about May.

She’s updated this today saying Leniu is confirmed. Club announcement next week. Don’t shoot the messenger.

Because his takes are so shit, it’s comical.

Good for you man, but pretty much everyone except Barrett knew Averillo wasn’t a halfback.

Ahh and don’t you worry. The entire kennel is happy you have no say on who’s in the team aswell.

Could it be Scotty Drink?

@Flanagun talking like Ciraldo is going to pick players based on age.

You stated that he was a kid.

Not to mention more recently, Suaili’i last year, Xerri a few years ago, who came out firing.

He’s 18. Australian law dictates that’s he’s and adult. I think Flano will improve this year. He’ll have more time thanks to Mahoney’s service and shouldn’t be as rushed as he has looked in the past. But I also think the writing is on the wall for him and he’ll be out the door at the end of the...

Freddy was at our training session the other day. He lost last year and he lost against the worst Queensland side in history. Corey Allan at fullback ffs. It wouldn’t shock to see him switch things up this year.

I think he’ll still be in the squad.

A hybrid of Penriths defence and Potters attack.

This is what I see happening around origin. Burton will be out, Oloapu and Flanagan will be our halves, Oloapu will put perform Flange in this period. Burton comes back, takes the 7 Jersey but stays on the left, Oloapu plays 6. This is what I feel will happen, provided Flanagan doesn’t brain it...

As many have already said, leadership group is super normal. Ray will handle press conferences and off field captain duties. Burto and Reed will run the team on game day. The other 3 are leadership roles. Indigenous, Polynesian and White to cover all bases when it comes to cultural concerns...

The coach

Shit video but this was the best one. Latrell celebrating early had me in stitches at the time.

This is an interesting one. My favourite thing about Dom Young is his effort. I remember on multiple occasions last year of him sprinting infield from his wing to make tackles on players who had made a linebreak from inside their own half. He almost always got there in time. Effort like that...

This information is pointless to everyone on here if we don’t know the actual decision.

Yeah bro, that’s essentially what I meant in that comment. The Halves numbers on their back don’t mean much anymore unless your 7 is only there to run the team (ie Chad Townsend, Adam Reynolds, etc.) All I meant was if Burton was handed the task of improving his team directing and game...

All teams that finished Top 4 last year. Coincidence?

All preseason the words from Ciro have been about building our own identity, our own style. I think you might have hit the nail on the head with this theory. Burton may eventually wear 7. I mean, he was essentially the half that did everything last year anyway. Barking orders all over the park...

I’m not really sure how previous finals teams are relevant in the current competition, but each to their own. To be completely honest with you I hope you’re right. I hope we shoot up the ladder and go deep into the finals. I just don’t think it will be as certain as you think it will be.

Our 23 team doesn’t need to compare to our previous finals teams to determine whether we make the 8 or not. Our 23 team needs to be compared to the other 16 teams in the comp this year.

Cheers for the 0.20c input bro, I think it’s undervalued at that price Honestly I agree with you. Depth is hugely important, and imo ours is an issue aswell. Honestly if burton goes down, we’re cooked. But let’s keep that thought out of our minds. We also need to remember we weren’t fringe...

Regardless of our squad, you need to consider who from last years top 8 is going to fall out? To make room for us? Who gets worse by a margin big enough to allow us into the 8? Penrith? No. Roosters? No. Parra? Maybe but I still think they win enough games to make it. Cowboys? Potentially...

Hahaha love to the punter aaaaaaannnnnnddd the dribbler

Yeah I agree 100%! And yeah it’s nice to have a podcast with doggies fans for hosts!

If I was a podcaster, I’m sure I would take any feedback or criticism into my stride to try to create the best content for my viewers. I’d also take it with a grain of salt because, as you implied, those who don’t podcast have no idea what creating one entails. It seems clear to me you’re one of...

Yeah I agree. I enjoy Bloke but Denan can be dull at times. If you want top shelf shit-talking with a little bit of sport mixed in (mostly league, but also UFC, cricket, etc) Hello Sport is far and away the best in my opinion. Great to listen to in the car instead of radio.

I’m a fairly avid podcast listener and I’d never heard of these guys before. To be honest as hosts, and on screen I thought they were pretty dull. Not a whole lot of charisma on screen or in questioning. In saying that, they’re doggies fans and I thought they asked a lot of questions that...

I was just about to post this as I’ve just finished it! Super interesting. I feel like he still has a bit of an ego, but seems very genuine on not making a mistake like that again. I love how he knew after his first meeting with Gus he knew where he was signing. And he had interest from all but...

2 x 15 minute stints either side of half time springs to mind.

I thought this too. But no the other picture in the post is THE Tyrone May you’re speaking of. Would definitely be a strange signing if it came off.

Surround yourself with winners, and you too shall win.

I wouldn’t know her if I bumped into her on the street. She’s never shown her face on that Instagram page. But she’s a huge footy nut.

Just so we’re clear, you’re saying her mail is no good or ‘dud’ as you put it (when it was accurate), and has been accurate a lot in the past, but if she’s right about things she shouldn’t post them because it could be defamatory? Every media outlet does this. And they use language like...

She’s saying that the players have agreed to terms. That’s not signed on the dotted line and nowhere in her post is she claiming that. Everyone on here wants to be the first to know, first to post, all about the inside goss, yet no one believes anything until a club statement is issued. What’s...

1) a female runs the page. 2) I’ve followed her mail for almost 2 years now for SuperCoach purposes and the vast majority of what she posts is accurate. I’m not saying this is, I have no idea. But she gets it right a lot.

Was honestly the only one that stood out for me in this photo. He’s huge.

Word on the street is he told his manager 800k. But I doubt he’d get that anywhere.

Yeah apparently Reed claimed it was because Parra lowballed him big time, to the point where he felt so undervalued he told his agent to find him a new club after the meeting and the bulldogs was at the top of his list, I assume because he was a junior of ours.

100% mate. Todd Payten tried to break the players in their off season last year. Like every professional sport league is 80% mentality/fitness. Some new faces, a brutal off-season and some attacking confidence shown this season will hopefully kill the loser mentality at the club and springboard...

Not sure if it’s been said or not but rumours are that he’s been unhappy all year. Coupled with coming off a shoulder reco, I think arriving at belmore will be all it takes to revitalise him. (Bold prediction: He’ll challenge Harry Grant/Ben Hunt for the 9/14 role in origin next year)

2024 1) Campbell 2) Toia 3) Kiraz 4) Skelton 5) JAC 6) Burton 7) S.Walker 8)TPJ 9) Mahoney 10) King 11) Kikau 12) RFM 13) Topine/Morrin 14) Topine/Morrin 15) Sutton 16) Stuckey 17) Jackson/Edwards This lineup is actually realistic to target, it’s young but the talent is there. Maybe look for...

Flano the next Joey johns?

What do you think the plan is with burton if we keep him long term? Kyle, although playing better lately doesn’t seem to be hitting his straps the way we’d hoped for. Does Gus and Ciraldo buy him a 7 or develop him into one and buy a 6? I really think he could be that dangerous 7 like Jahrome...
