DISCUSSION THREAD | Round 11 | Bulldogs v Roosters

[Mr Beast]

Got in early for this one.

Last time we played them at their home ground we won by 1 point in round 5.

Next weeks game is going to be a cracker at ANZ Stadium Friday night, not only it will be our potential 8th win in a row but a victory against one of our rivals will taste even sweeter with SBW in their team. They're come off a thrashing 42-10 by the Cowboys and no doubt they will be looking to try and bounce back from their loss, this will be a tough game.

If we win this match it will be a perfect way leading into our bye the following week.

Dogs by 10.

"and the Roosters in the bin"

Have to wait to see who gets picked for origin. If Pearce isn't picked he will come out firing and have a massive game against us.

If our halves are missing will be a big hole in the side, other positions like centre can be filed by Inu and we have forwards with FG experience so that won't be a problem.

tbh would be stoked with another win even if it is by 1 point again.

 

[Sauce Head]

I think I can say right off the bat that origin selections will decide the winner of this match.

[Mr Beast]

When do the players go into SOO camp?

 

[The.X.Factor]

Is pearce still suspended for this game ?

 

[Nano]

Hoping we win this and but them back in the bin, if we can beat them everytime this year it will be ever sweeter.

They will be missing not many players due to SOO and we might be but I trust our depth against a rusty Roosters side. Dogs by 1-10

 

[Nano]

When do the players go into SOO camp?

Team announced this Tuesday so soon I reckon.

 

[blueyedsamurai]

Is pearce still suspended for this game ?

no, only 1 game

 

[pisssst]

We are getting hammered with these short turn arounds

 

[The.X.Factor]

no, only 1 game

Thanks.

We are getting hammered with these short turn arounds

After this week we have a bye, so the team will get a long break.

 

[Papa Emeritus]

If we lose 4 or more to Origin I can't see us winning this one.

Especially because the more dogs that are picked, the less Roosters that will be picked.

 

[NingNong]

I kind of look forward to seeing how good our depth is, mbye, inu maybe templeman and reni....if that many get picked for origin...they will be walking into a winning culture...

 

[blueyedsamurai]

Boyd Cordner's injured so that gives us more of a chance if our half's are picked

 

[zappa]

Really hoping we can get the win here with a depleted team.
Looking ahead to round 20, every team we play, bar Canberra, are currently in the top 8. This includes 2 against Manly who will have 3 Friday night games in a row during this period and therefore 3 seven day turnarounds.
20 points coming out of our first bye round will be gold.

 

[Chicharito]

Dogs 1-12

 

[Ahecee]

Can't call this one till after Tuesday, odds are at least one side will be missing some key players.

I agree with captain obvious 100%

 

[finchie]

Aidan guerra is set to make his debut for the cane toads as well. The pieces of the puzzle will all hinge on which halves get selected.

 

[The DoggFather]

Imagine Mbye and Templeman put pearce of shit and baloney on show.....

 

[finchie]

1. Pez 2. Stanley 3. Inu 4. Lafai 5. Thompson 6. Mbye 7. Trent 8. Tolman 9. Ennis 10. Graham 11. Maitua 12. Finucane 13. Beastwood. Reserves: kasiano, klemmer, browne, burr

I believe jmoz, reynolds, trex and jacko (bolter) will all be selected for game 1.
