OFFICIAL | PRE-GAME Finals Week 1 | vs Manly | 4:05pm Sunday @ Accor

[Benno Bulldog]

I would rather Skelton yes he had a bad game but capable of getting our first play the ball going

 

[Kempsey Dog]

don't think we can afford to drop ado carr this wk knowing our only 2 wingers available are skelton and sua who are inexperienced

Disapointing, I think you have to go with Skelton just for yardage unfortunately. Coach has to tell him to aim up and run with intent. If our forwards weren't somewhat of an issue id go Sua.

Why isn't Clark an option?
He can play wing as well. And more experienced, defends better.

100% feel deflated. Last month of footy been a nightmare after the season we had
* Critta being victimised
* Manly thumping after fatigue
* Loss to Cowboys with players out
* Fox fuck up... Missed plenty of games this season, good riddance, wish Wilson was fit

i feel the opposite - 100% pumped
yes we had the shit kicked out of us the last month - but that's just extra motivation to get the fuck up and fight back

 

[silva]

This may work in our favour. The way they have played the last two weeks this might give the boys some added backs against the wall motivation

He’s not experienced enough under high pressured games! I love that he got his debut, but without fox no win sadly and that will be on facts.

Would gladly cop egg on my face if we win, but its reality.

If Addo carr is out put Skelton on the left wing

 

[JORDZILLA]

I'll play Skelton

think skelton would be the logical choice provided he's fit

Exactly 27 rounds is a marathon for this little pack of over achievers. They have been belted over and over and over again… but like all champion sides they get up and show it’s not the size of the dog that wins the fight.

 

[silva]

We need a coaching masterclass from Ciraldo . Surely he can get one over that flog with tits seibold

 

[AllRounder]

Will be interesting to see what game plan they come out with.

Do you think Ciro just wipes the thought of the last 2 games, put them down to the travel/fatigue/handling and stick solid with what we’ve done pretty much all year?

Or do they roll the dice and go with something different to try and work around whatever it is that hasn’t worked recently.

Like what we did with the unexpected shift wide and all out attack in the Broncos game?
Early kicks?
Brings back the Burton bomb?

Bro if Eli Clarke comes in, I ain't even mad. He goes like a true bulldog bro. Runs fucking hard, tackles hard and knows when to jam in. Little ripper

He is an option...

 

[Old Man JB]

I’m a gold season ticket holder at accor and seriously considering not going on Sunday.
The bubble has popped and I’m deflated

Geez, I wouldn't want to be in a trench with you mate.

 

[MoNkEy]

Nobody can bring a team together better than Critta.

I reckon he will galvanise the boys into an impregnable juggernaut on Sunday - regardless of the make up of the side.

This could be a defining moment in our resurgence.

Bulldogs to win the Comp
2024 can’t break destiny.It is written In stone.
Eli Clarke to the rescue.
What doesn’t break you makes you stronger.

 

[sexy_ciro]

pax updates?

 

[cookieman909]

Story is apparently he went to the Souths Roosters game with Ciraldo and a few other injured players. They were in camp at Homebush for cows game. He apparently left at HT for some unknown reason. If he’s left to go do a bump he’s a fucking idiot.

He won’t play this week. If us fans are off him for doing this, I can only imagine how his teammates feel about him. They’d all be off him. Expect him to be stood down, told to stay away from the club. Rabbitohs next season. See ya ****. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
