[DogsOfWar1704]

Dogs for an upset !

 

[The DoggFather]

Storm by 4.

EDIT now Smith and Papa are out I change my prediction to Dogs by 4.

 

[Spoonman84]

Be nice to get a upset here we lead the all time head to head by 1 win!

 

[Spoonman84]

Tolman will bring some heat off the bench.........

 

[Bazildog]

There is no way Oggy, Katoa and RFM all start if Dean still had the whistle. SG not afraid to mix it up and I am really happy to see Odgen start.

 

[B-Train]

It's great to see Ogden starting and Georgallis realising we need more impact early but Napa is better suited coming off the bench than Tolman. It's also good to see Katoa starting..

If Renouf is fit he has to come into the 17.

 

[Shire Dog]

Tolman will bring some heat off the bench.........

Like an atomic bomb ready to explode.

 

[FZ1-S]

Is Renouf To’omaga injured?

I would luv to see Ogden start for a change and smash those covid infested losers.

 

[Bulldogsteve]

lets hope thompson gets almost 80 minutes

 

[Spoonman84]

No Papsmear or Smith for the Storm gives us a bit of a chance here.

 

[Bulldogsteve]

Tolman will bring some heat off the bench.........

assuming him and nappa will interchange hopefully

Agree, WTF happen to agree button, lol

 

[Shire Dog]

I think we have a decent chance but we need to cut out the basic errors which seem to have really stuffed us in so many games this year.

[Baby Blues]

No Papsmear or Smith for the Storm gives us a bit of a chance here.

Unfortunately for us they have pretty decent backups replacing them. Hynes is a future star and could have just as big an impact as Grant if given an opportunity

 

[Haddaway]

LOL Tolman

 

[Family Guy]

Few questions for the very proud SG:
Why is a winger/center on the bench?
Has Tolman been relegated? Is the beginning of the end?
Is Montoya really better than Crichton?
Where is Cogger? Was he dropped because he had a bad game last week, which is weird considering he played 0 minutes?
Lewis??????????? I know he can kick but have you seen him run and pass?
Is Renouf injured. If not, why is he not in the team?
FMD with this team selection crap - and you wonder why you're not a FG coach.

I will give him some credit. Kotoa and Ogden starting is great. Love seeing Doorey in the 21. Now get in the 17

I have never been that impressed with Hynes from his junior days at Manly till now. He's not a patch on Papenhyzen.
