Official Bulldogs vs Tigers - Sunday 5:30pm

Just want a solid defensive outing. Big win would be nice. But much prefer a tight controlled no injury affair. Grind them down. Set the tone for the rest of the comp as early as possible. But as most saying it'll be mostly nsw cup and fringe players trying to earn a spot.

Haha,
I tend to agree.
I also think they will want to get some wins to give their fans somthing to be excited about heading into the season.
 
Will be interesting to see the trends in the trials - imo teams that are using a middle as a ball player - unless that player has genuine skill as is the case with Yeo - rnd up with a poor attack - the attack becomes stymies as the middle often lacks the agility n skill to play the role effectively at speed - they end up slowing things down or stopping n propping and become easy targets for the defence. In the jun reps iv watched edges have been getting very little ball which was happening in higher grades second half of last year. IMO Jake T slowed Manlys attack, De Belin slowed the St George attack, Klemmer at the Tigers etc - slow/ hesitant in the decision making n limited skill in passing.

YES - Mann does it well - Hayward imo seems in two minds ends up with a hesistant run - when he passes he is ok.

Yes the drop off from Mann to the other two options is horrific and we just can't have that kind of drop off if we genuinely want to push for top 4 this season.

To me he should like he did last year just to get the legs running for all. Get rid of the Cobb webs and take them off after 20 minutes. I’ll be spewing if they didn’t name a near full strength team this week

I think it'll be a mix this week and full strength next weekend against broncos

the main spine along with critta will probs get 30 mins to a half this week
 
Kiraz back issue will see him miss all the trials potentially
