Bulldogs vs cows match thread

[Bazildog]

As I said in another thread, how on earth are we replacing Browns 40m at lock with Reynolds? We're already struggling big time with bench middles yet we do this...

Looks like he plans on giving Okunbor more minutes..

 

[ElMagicElMasri]

there is no way that can be our bench

If we aren’t up by 14 with 20 minutes to go we are in trouble

We should really be beating the cowboys. They were ass against the Warriors at home, missing a huge chuck of their best players.

 

[diddly]

A winger and a 34 yo half to come on and dominate the middle against Jason t, mclean etc.

 

[Interestingg]

Thompson, Patolo, BBO all with very serious injuries all have projected return dates. TPJ who was supposed to be back round 5 is now “indefinite”. This kent was boxing in the off season lol. Very poorly managed along with delaying Burtons surgery.

 

[LordSidious66]

Reynolds, Reynolds, Reynolds!!

 

[KLil]

GET KNOCKON OFF THE BENCH AND PLAY TOPINE!!

He had mins last week and didnt even run the ball... He obviously aint there for his defence for frogs sake.

 

[LordSidious66]

Surely the NRLOL rig this match for us to win considering its Joshy Reynolds first game?

 

[Freakzilla]

Probable Cowboys team against us:

01. Tomas Chester
02. Kyle Feldt
03. Valentine Holmes
04. Peta Hiku
05. Brendan Elliot
06. Tom Dearden
07. Chad Townsend
08. Jordan McLean
09. Reece Robson
10. Griffin Neame
11. Coen Hess
12. Heilum Luki
13. Jason Taumalolo

14. Jake Granville
15. Riley Price
16. Jack Gosiewski
17. Jamayne Taunoa-Brown

This is the team with the only difference being Mitchell Dunn instead of Jack Gosiewski.

Pele and OK prob share those mins and Grub getting junk mins at the end

Pele is already struggling with the minutes he gets lol. I just don't understand this, it makes absolutely no sense. Just put a backrower on the bench that can defend and have them take on some of the defensive workload, that's our best option. Reynolds is also completely cooked, literally can't/won't defend and looks out on his feet within minutes. I have tried not to criticise Ciraldo because I think he has done an awesome job but this is crazy lol

 

[Sword]

Again Only 2 genuine forwards on the bench FFS.

 

[LFC Bulldogs]

The mods need to sticky the “ Flanagan is shit“ thread in here , that way all posters can just click on the Flanagan is shit link during the game and post how rubbish he is there .
That would alleviate that the match thread does not get hijacked with posts about Flanagan‘s shitness.

Our back 5 have been doing all the dirty work in attack. They’ve had a huge work load and they’re sustaining it for now.

The middle has only been defending. Reed has been outstanding in this department. We’ll be fine until the starters come back. (Props)

 

[KiwiDog7]

I was looking at the nrl stats and alarmingly thus far our halves don’t feature in any of the attacking stats ie try assist, line break assist, line engagement for the top 50!

Also the missed tackles we have 3 in the top 20 - Reed, Burton top 10 and Kikau top 20

So much work left to do on both sides of the ball

 

[belmore_utd]

Call me baby too

 

[chemdog]

I fucken called it earlier that the bench would be reynolds waddell pele and okunbor

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Well now I've got a boner, thanks.

 

[belmore_utd]

Well now I've got a boner, thanks.

Me too. You're welcome, baby

 

[boggie23]

there is no way that can be our bench again

If we aren’t up by 14 with 20 minutes to go we are in trouble

We should really be beating the cowboys. They were ass against the Warriors at home, missing a huge chuck of their best players.

You aren’t confident in Reynolds, Pele and okunbor pumping out 55 mins each off the bench?

Now we are down to a 15 min prop, a 5/8, a winger and a penalty machine back rower on the bench. You’d hate for your props to cop a hia

that’s were the game was lost last week. Our grunt was gone after defending our line for 10 mins straight. Couldn’t get out of our own half.

 

[Scoobs]

Was hoping we might see Harrison Edwards on the bench. Killed it in cup last week and would bring some much needed energy to the pack.

 

[CQDog]

I hate head. Mandems always be nibbling at the knob and that shit hurts
