Honestly, **** it, we've beaten them once in Melbourne this year, we'll do it again. I'll hopefully be booking flights tomorrow to Melbourne. One thing we'll have that the storm won't, motivation. This is as good as opportunity we'll get to extract revenge for the 2012 GF, I smell an ambush!

Melbourne in Melbourne was the Rugby League equivalent of the death sentence. Now it is probably NQ in NQ but i still would rather avoid the Storm down there.

Was good to see Des clearly angry in the presser - but is it enough ? He is up against a very good and clever coach next week .... He will be an absolute hero if he can somehow engineer a win at Aami next Sunday

Bellend is a fraud and he knows it. That's why he didn't take the Dragons offer before, without the big 3 he won't win shit.

Id take bellamy over hasler everyday of the week. Atleast he turns reserve graders into first graders and selects players in their correct position. Obviously big 3 help but look at jesse bromwich, proctor, hinchcliff, etc

A day game scares the crap out of me.

Positive however is that forecast is for rain.

I wouldn't mind a couple of Bellamy's back line plays right about now

Bellamy has better players than Des does right now. Some of manly's set plays were pretty good when des was there

Gasnier pointed out last night that the Storm have weaknesses in their left side defence. Lafai and Thompson need to be fed a tonne of ball on Sunday

Gasnier has always been a huge closet bulldogs fan. LOL

Bellamy is a great coach. He has revolutionised the way the NRL is played.

Bellamy's approach is his players are classroom coached not to make one little mistake, we will have to work on discipline this week.
Yesterday showed we are beating ourselves.
Next time we get a lead like that we will have to be more careful with the speculators.

As poor as Dogs have been in recent weeks, I am definitely looking forward to this game. Plenty of interesting match-ups:

#1: Smith vs Ennis vs Referees

#2: Fonua and Koroibete vs Lafai vs Thompson

#3: Bromwich vs Graham

#4: Hoffman vs Jackson

I reckon these are the key match ups this weekend. Especially Thompson vs Koroibete. Size and power disadvantage for Thompson but I am predicting Thompson to have a mammoth game if Lafai can provide him good ball.

Bellamy is the man who introduced the chicken wing, grapple and leg pulls/bends/twists to the NRL

Storm have scored more points than the Bulldogs this season BUT, they have also conceded more points than the Bulldogs this season.
Its an even match up, we have beaten them twice this season. We will be up for it Sunday.

We have beaten Storm with Smith once by 2 points when we weren't on the current stretch of horrid form we are in. We are up against it this week. I am hoping for the best but i think we could be in trouble.
