[Moey91]

Faiders have another easy game…

 

[Freakzilla]

Faiders have another easy game…

TBF they have traveled the most of any NRL team this season.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

TBF they have traveled the most of any NRL team this season.

Vegas was their choice though. Amazing Ricky had a cry about it when his byes and end of season are perfection

 

[Moey91]

TBF they have traveled the most of any NRL team this season.

With a full roster in tact

 

[senshidog]

Warriors side will be interesting next week. Metcalf gone for season and CNK gone till about round 21.

Could see them struggle now.

 

[senshidog]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've counted like 18 players listed this week who have played with the Bulldogs previously.

Surely that's some sort of record, and yes we could probably almost piece together a shitty side from it.

 

[KiwiDog7]

Warriors side will be interesting next week. Metcalf gone for season and CNK gone till about round 21.

Could see them struggle now.

They have the easiest run of any top 4 team and only tough game is us in August

Gees, didn't realise how strong a side they normally have. Makes sense they are doing so well.

So is RTS normally on the wing and Martin/Harris-Tavita on the bench or in NSW Cup?

RTS wing and Martin either 14 or NSW Cup.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Tigers could go for a historic 4peat if they get rinsed by the Roosters this weekend.

Surprised that Belinda Sharpe ratio for challenges isnt worse. She is a terrible ref in the middle, probably worse in eth bunker.
