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

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.

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

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