BULLDOGS TO THE SUPRISE PACKAGE
BULLDOGS 12+

How on earth does Sutton get a semi & not Adam Gee?

Adam Gee reffed one of the best GF ever last year & the NRL was like nah, can't have that.

well that's the nrl for you they always make stupid decisions.

both sutton and klein shouldn't be reffing at all these finals series

Atkins has the whistle, Klein in the Bunker.

Klein has the whistle at Penrith, Sutton going to Melbourne and surprisingly Gee misses out. Todd Smith doing the Cowboys game.

 

[Moey91]

Atkins has the whistle, Klein in the Bunker.

Almost called it

 

[gbrussell]

Almost called it

Of the 4 refs who have games, Arkins would be my preference.

 

[wendog33]

Atkins has the whistle, Klein in the Bunker.

The bunker is the most crucial factor against us....worse than the ref with nit picking reasons to deny us tries. Up against it this week (almost) equally as bad as Klein/Sutton combo

Expect controversies that mysteriously don't favour Bulldogs yet agaaaaain.

I sincerely hope you are wrong.

klein is just as bad in the bunker as he is as the main ref

 

[Kempsey Dog]

I live in Brisbane and I'm working. Does that count?

I'm in Kempsey and poor and can't make the trip ... Im a bum lol

looks like kiraz left wing next to xerri with skelton next to critta

DCE kicking a 40-20 on Skelton for sure.

 

[wendog33]

I sincerely hope you are wrong.

Me too

 

[Dog-Treat]

He loves over officiating & someone will be in the bin.

I bet ya 50 bucks he doesn't send anyone to the bin lol

 

[ASSASSIN]

the **** we had against roosters twice

Oh that bitch...

 

[ASSASSIN]

Atkins has the whistle, Klein in the Bunker.

Klein has the whistle at Penrith, Sutton going to Melbourne and surprisingly Gee misses out. Todd Smith doing the Cowboys game.

So the ref's want to be the star of the finals...

 

[DoggiesHOOHA]

Man, I'm looking at this Manly team list. Outside of DCE & Trbojevic, it really is a whole bunch of shit with a decently-sized forward pack. They've knocked off Penrith & Storm whilst also losing to all bottom three teams at least once.

An underestimated Bulldog is a dangerous Bulldog.

Heyyyy don't talk about the refs like that. They are the heart and soul of the scoreline lol

- watch for brooks no look short pass close to the line (he’s loved that one recently and it’s working well)
- watch for DCE rushing out of the line looking for an intercept, he even manages to pull it off standing still in the line.
- watch for turbos barge overs from 5m out.
- get up on OLA and the rest of the big boys fast.
- pressure the fuck out of DCE. His kicking game as of late is the best in the comp.
What else have I missed.

When Preston and Kikau make tackles in the middle, DCE swings the ball to the exposed defensive side. Salmon, Curran etc don't get across to cover quick enough, if at all.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Sua named to play Jersey Flegg so I don't think that he'll be a late inclusion.

Was named in Flegg last week too but yes, probably stick with Skelton

Run hard, tackle hard.
