His stats have been terrible the last 2 weeks, expected way more from him.

I was right about delouise lol
i owe my source a red bull hahahha

This match will come down to defence. Tigers defence has shown to be poor, losing after leading 22-0 last week and letting us come back from way behind in our first match this season. If we can limit brooks and tedescos impact, we should be too good.

As much as I'd like Jmoz to be fit, having Mbye at centre gives us another point of attack. Moses was good in that position last week. We have to find a way to keep him in the team but Hodko will never be dropped and Reynolds needs to be in the team.

 

[no1bulldog]

I for some reason thought Klemmer was back this week.....I've got no idea, maybe I should become an NRL ref :/

 

[Edroy]

Also, our bench is much better than theirs. I don't know the go with Kaufusi. It seemed like he only played 10 minutes last week.

 

[bulldogs lover]

Very nervous about this game hope we win from memory Brett Morris and lafai missed the last game we beat them hopefully the boys aim up it will be a tough game I believe go the doggies

 

[finchie]

Safety first plz mr kasiano
first start in a while
can be make or break for us

 

[Dognacious]

You would think after tigers matches this year if we are within 20 of them at half time we can win. If we are closer or in the lead they will be stuffed, it will be a flogging. They dont come back. Good to have some more size in the pack with Kas back. Still so much talent to come back, Graham, both Mozzes, Klemmer, Lafai

 

[bulldogs lover]

Need to win this game and stay in touch with top four then when our troops come back bang top four finish for the season and a premiership wow that will be a dream come true

He played 39 minutes and only made 9 tackles and 60 or so metres ....lol

 

[Freakzilla]

Kaufusi is terrible and was before he went to the ESL.

 

[Freakzilla]

Gould and Johns saying our halves jobs is hard because Dogs gameplan is too dominated by forwards.

 

[Freakzilla]

Hasler basically just said he's happy with Hodkinson and Reynolds :/

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Been saying this for a while.. fix our game plan, then judge our halves when they get the ball at FIRST RECEIVER.

**** me everyone is putting huge pressure on our halves...

Go away. We played the exact same last year and they performed 10 times better...

That doesn't excuse the lack of attacking options in the opposition 20. 41 tackles and no try assists from our halves against the Dragons.

Stop making excuses for our halves, half the reason Des implements said gameplan is to cover our halves lack of ability.

Pressure is on our halves and its entirely warranted, if they don't perform then they've proven their lack of ability if they do they've done the exact opposite
