Linespeed, Mahoney, numbers in tackles.
Yes we faded but we've started fast in both trials

I agree with all your points B-Train, remembering the good old say " Rome wasn't built in a day ! "Despite a trial loss against a top 4 team that looks better than last season, there were some positives...
- Nu Brown made an impact as a running forward and then later at dummy half. He scored a try and his service was solid.. He showed his utility value.
- Alamoti looked more comfortable in FG and showed flashes. He has a shocking read for their first try but he recovered well and made several good reads and tackles after that, which is a good sign... He looked dangerous in attack.. He's a specimen that has a lot of ability.
- Skelton again showed his massive upside, even though it was garbage time again. The kick after breaking tackles for Reynolds try was freakish. He had a few other good runs. Surely he'll play wing or centre soon enough...
- Preston again was impressive and carried defenders, threatening to break through on most runs.. He's a big strong kid that is a handful to defend with the combo of his late footwork and size/strength..
- Pele made good impact again and should get a bench spot in week one.
- Reynolds provided a spark again. At some stage this year he'll do that in FG.. The cheers from the Belmore crowd despite being down 30-4 gave me chills and made me proud to be a Bulldog fan...

I hear yu.So many reasons not to be too concerned about the 2nd trial
I expect it will take some time for the boys to become a cohesive unit, and Manly at Brookvale first up will be a test.
I’m trying to better manage my mental health this season so I’m choosing to be realistic in my expectations, particularly in the first few rounds.
Fuck all really.What was said?
Stupid rule. Shouldnt exist. You should need to hold the ball so tight a defender cant rip it from your grasp. You have enough to contend with in a tackle already.it was a forward that took it up and it was one of those stupid two men in and one rolls off (don’t get me started as this should be a strip)
Ch10, bad news from CC, TPJ out for 5 to 6 weeks not 3 to 4 as per Dogs injury report.What was said?
The injury report listed it as a projected return round 4 or round 5. Round 4 is 5 weeks away so it hasn’t changed.Ch10, bad news from CC, TPJ out for 5 to 6 weeks not 3 to 4 as per Dogs injury report.
