R1 - Bulldogs Vs Storm - Team List & Discussion Thread

[chisdog]

yes

He bludged all game. I bet RLW would have given him a 9

 

[Brizdog]

Good signs. Rfm fualao were great woods ok plenty of offloads. Moses looks fast at the back. Josh Morris looks slow. Eastwood shouldn’t be there. Foran was good too.

 

[magdog]

Melbourne has too much stroke power for us, and our combinations still coming together.

Thanks NRL, you can give the Storm an opening round match against someone else now, we’ve had them last 2 years.

 

[Z-Dizzle]

Especially the 3 tries he let in

It was sarcasm incase you took me seriously. That was posted after his last knock on.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

First game of the season, not concerned at all.

Forward pack must be strengthened going into next season. We could all see the problems from last season would carry over from Des' dud roster. Yes we went on a signing spree but our pack lacks aggression.

 

[The DoggFather]

He drags 2/3 defenders and had hardly ever gets put to the ground. He was one of our best.

Must be his hairstyle that makes him look like a bitch lol

Maybe being a prop and watching real props back in the day, I can't rate him.

He isn't a dud, but I don't know, still soft.

Last year we lost at belmore by 4points this year we got belted. Difference is we played expansive football v dull ..hmm?

Nah, I got that. I was just enjoying the sarcasm with you

 

[Z-Dizzle]

Fuck me though, do the commentators own a part of the stadium or something?

 

[magdog]

He hasn’t since he joined the club...

Sadly he’s gotten worse....a salary cap muncher.

We're not supposed to be contenders this year. If we push top 8 it will be an achievement. Happy with how we looked.

 

[The DoggFather]

Oh well with our draw & losing klemmer woods & Jackson to soo can't see us making the top 8 but at least we are better to watch in attack but definitely not in defence

I got us finishing 5th-8th.

 

[Kaz]

Waves from the bottom of the ladder.

 

[maroondog72]

Some bad misses in defence early but we can fix that our attack was good and will get better with every match pay has done a good job

 

[El_Magic]

Offloads aside he hits up like a bitch

Thats not his game but. He never gets brought down, always quick play the balls and we have so much momentum off his play the balls. As soon as he went off we struggled.

I think our biggest weakness is our backs. No speed and no size

We also played in a cyclone that night which makes scoring much harder

They are wanking on it cost 1.6B..... look at Dallas Cowboys stadium and what you can build for the same price. The TV is 7 storeys tall and in HD ffs

 

[Trafford10]

Positive Foran was really good!
Got the team much straighter and the attack showed some positive signs.

Defense was terrible tonight.
Bad one on one missed tackles.
Josh Jackson had a shocker.

But the team did play more entertaining football.
RFM outstanding!!!

 

[dogluva]

Our attack tonight was so much better than the last few years. A lot tend to forget that in the pre season a few of the players got no game time and in the one against Penrith only half game for most and then the Reggies took over.
Defence is a concern to be sure but hopefully the players can get better cohesion and a better trust in the man beside them. Last few years players were controlled and basically brainwashed into a certain style of play where they were told that completion was everything and defending a lead ( mostly small) was the way to go.

This is why a full hit out in trial helps
