[Papa Emeritus]

Seriously expect us to put 13+ on the Roosters this time around.

Both of their halves will be out plus Jennings and they have been playing pretty ordinary lately. Romelo has proven to be a great back up for Reynolds and we all know we can cover Jmoz pretty well.

Really looking forward to this one.

 

[silva]

atmosphere will be electric dogs by 13 plus

 

[Bakes]

Would love to win 5 straight heading into the bye! Fire up Bulldogs!

 

[Mr Beast]

Now we have James, Kas, Frank all back that missed the first game. I am expecting our boys to steam roll them all over the park.

They are still one of the best defensive teams in the comp, but after yesterdays loss by the Warriors it shows they still have holes.

Des will have a plan. He always does. Also, it'd be our 5th straight win coming into a bye that would be perfect.

Fire up boys because I am.

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

I am hoping we can get up in this one. Not only win, but hopefully by a decent margin. Our F/A needs improvement, and hopefully this will be the game we can take advantage of this.

SKD is playing...so hoping his comedy show from last night continues

 

[finchie]

I hope lafai rips skd a new one. He is hopeless and i dont know why the sharks are chasing another useless centre. They already have two in wright and pommeroy!

 

[blueyedsamurai]

I picked 13+ but knowing our team lately we will be up by 30 with 10 minutes to go and then let in about 4 tries

 

[The 2nd Spitter]

Dogs open at @1.40 ......Rooters @ 3.00

Spread is 7.5.

I knew we'd be faves but not by that much.

They are more affected by origin then us + they have SKD in their team. Still have a few danger players in their side: Mini, Tupou and SBW. Although those odds don't surprise me.

 

[Mr Beast]

I think Trent Hodkinson's conversions will be the difference. I hope I'm wrong and we will smash them with our boys up front.

Watch out for SBW's off loads or his short/cut out passes. Like the one he put against us last time. They like to do this play.

TAB ‏@tabcomau 1m
The @NRL_Bulldogs are into $6 to win the Premiership, $1.40 against the depleted @sydneyroosters ($3) @nrl @SkySportsRadio1 @RSNSportRadio

 

[Mr Patwa]

has the team been announced?? why are we always the last team to be announced ???

 

[The 2nd Spitter]

I guess losing a goalkicker of the calibre of Maloney is a huge factor. However, our defensive meltdowns make me cautious about covering the spread.

[Bob dog]

We don't lose much at SOO time, Romelo and Lafai have been promoted this week, just hope our wings shift better in defence as they seem to slow down later in the match.

 

[Book]

I sort of wish we were playing them at full strength. That would make beating them much more satisfying.

 

[jo7resh]

This will be closer then people think it will be wet footy with lots of errors

 

[Bad Billy]

We'll smoke em ! Dogs 13+ !
Who the fuck voted for roosters 13+ ?? Is Freddie fitler a kennel member ?

 

[finchie]

They have named a pretty solid side and their forward pack is all first grade standard.
