News Bulldogs’ brutal season start; Cowboys (R1), Broncos (R2), Manly (R3), Storm (R4), Panthers (R5), Rabbitohs (R6)

Think this draw could easily lift us to a switched on position earlier in the season. In order for this side to compete and raise the bar on overall and individual performance we need to build confidence against the best sides. I would rather see us play them early with a full compliment of healthy players than later.

 

[amapusae]

what a shock, we get a horrible start to the season

 

[Grunthos]

Didn’t expect any less. Of course the nrl are looking to fuck us early.

And your solid evidence for that statement is...?

 

[Heckler]

I like the fact that Baz will be under fire from game 1 and the super tough draw will show us if he has improved or regressed.

A pass mark for me is to win 3 of the first 6. That's pretty fair against the teams we are playing

Achievable

NRL: we should have a salary cap to evenly distribute talent

Also the NRL: the wooden spooners should play the premiers, grand finalists and top 4 teams within the first 6 weeks.


BRUH..

4 hard games in a row means 4 easier games to follow!

 

[rainman]

I can’t remember when we had a favourable start to any season in the last 10 yeats

 

[TOTTO]

Play top teams now or later dosent really matter.

100% correct!

 

[Flanagun]

Don't see the issue tbh

Look back over our draws for the past 8 years or so, then look at the tigers draws and you should see the issue, Fam. The NRL is clearly trying to obstruct our Path. But if we block out the external noise and focus on the Journey, nothing can stop us from attaining wholeness. Namaste

 

[amapusae]

Yous say that it doesn’t matter when we play these teams, but if we go on a bad losing run to start the season our confidence will be in the mud like last year

 

[CQDog]

The games that are winnable is definitely most of them except for storm and panthers if cleary is back. Manly’s season was kinda flukey, one injury away from an injury prone player, they are worse than us. Souths are overrated for next season. They did lose alot of players not just reynolds but gagai who contributed well to that left side that killed the comp and cook starting to age away. Cowboys and broncos are all winnable but broncos apparently have the better of us with us losing 41% of the time.

 

[Jarrad El Hickey]

When will this nightmare end!

 

[Sandra's Bollocks]

I see this as a positive.

I'm positive I'm gonna be depressed again next year lol

 

[Doggiezbrah]

Definitely winnable the first two. Manly, Storm & Panthers will be tough but a good test.

Rabbits are definitely weaker, losing Reynolds and Gagai will make them considerably weaker. I hope for 3/6.

 

[ILiveForDib]

we will win one of our first two, south’s will be a weaker side by then things will start to gel in our side. Penrith and Melbourne will be tough but we were gonna play them eventually anyways. Manly we will have a good shot at winning. 3/6 for me.

 

[cookieman909]

Panthers Manly and Storm will be tough. Cowboys and broncos I’d back us in to win. Rabbitohs will be 50-50. Reynolds is a massive loss for them. But who cares about the draw. We have the hardest one. We have to play all the teams above us!

 

[DogsOfWar1704]

Probably all away games aswell
