Mate, it has nothing to do with what I want to happen. In contrast to the Tigpies, the Dogs have never been a one man gang.
Tigpies rely on Benji firing, if he doesn't they're in for a whalloping!!
Last year, we had no forwards as Hannant was struggling with injuries, Hodgson....well, he's in Ressies this year as is Armit. Hickey gone permanently! Corey Payne only played the last game of the season against Manly. Paea is one that comes to mind out of the NEW forward pack we have.
Throw in the fact that Roberts was out and when Tandy (1x forward) came on board, we started to win some games!!
Watch the difference when our forwards start moving forward this year, the halves will have ample of time to strut their stuff....not like last year, after 5 tackles we made a 10mtr gain and Noddy throwing those flat hospital passes!!
In saying that, I didn't say that anyone came and said "i hope we lose"....but after reading post after post before the season started, it was "OMG, can't wait for the seaon to start!!"..."BU11DOGS"...2011, year of the dogs...etc, etc. Then comes the 1st game and all you read....Tigers by 20, Tigers by 10....
Anyway, good luck to the dogs...... DOGS by 14!!
