GRAND FINAL 2012 THREAD: Bulldogs v Storm [Predictions]

[jimmy_the_greek]

okay guys, here it is
First of all I want to add, that not many thought we would get to this stage that we are at now, either way we are winners in my opinion. I can see our boys getting up in this one, we have the game to trouble Melbourne and I think we will.

Hope they smash Cronk as well, he has that Wannabe University lecturer attitude about him

Dogs by 6 in a thriller, a try in the 75th minute to Keating to win us the Grand Final.

We didn't get to this grand final by accident, we won the right to be there. There's been plenty of talk about the Storm's "big three", Slater, Cronk and Smith but there's another one who seems to have flown under the rader and that's Ryan Hoffman. IMO he's another real danger man. I'm sure Des will have made plans to shut down all of them. Dogs by 1-13.

TBH I don't think they've been playing as we'll as everyone thinks they have. They lost 5 straight. But since then look at who they've beaten. They smashed penrith in melb, standard win. They struggled to beat Brisbane who were awful at the end. Beat the Titans who didn't make the 8. Beat the sharks who tailed off badly at the end. Then the tigers who were shot ducks. Then come finals time they've smashed manly and Souths in melb, the thing about those two games is that those games were Souths n manlys worse game all year. So how much can u read into it? Also watching slater play, he's not 100%. His knee is heavily strapped, and he doesn't look as fast and as explosive as he usually is. This game is there for us to win, and I'll tell you now, we want this. One tackle from Ennis on sat night typified. I think it was McQueen who made half a bust. Inu got him off balance, Ennis came over, and the look on his face, his eyes, was lik ur not ****in going anywhere. The boys are so determined and focused. Another thing is we are fitter, it'll be close, we'll get them in the last 20. Our boys are ready for this one, make no mistake, both teams are gunna turn up with their A-Game. Dogs for the win 25-12!

they lost 5 straight when Slater was injured and he is fine now- his last game proves that without a doubt.

Reynolds was all over us and he's no Cronk plus they've got players who have played in and won massive games.

We aren't the favourites for good reason. We can win but geez it's going to require perfection.

That try Slater scored (The run away try), he looked slow... Lyon almost caught him from the other side of the field and Slater had a massive start on him (Only 50 metres to run)... BUT his other touches in the game were sublime.

yeah I noticed that but he's more dangerous over 25-30 getting on the inside and outside of defences and his timing is genius.

Cronk is the real threat , the way he calls the right play at the right time and sells it to the opp is potent. dummy to kick then pass,screaming for the ball knowing full well it's going out the back etc.

The Storm looked very clinical against a Manly side that had knockonathon but The Bulldogs have bustling Barry Eastwood who has added another element to our attack.
With a big home ground advantage the boyz will be buzzing and full of adrenaline, Manly were a busted pack.

Canterbury-Bulldogs 1-12 points, going to be a tough and intense game..
