Please forgive me,

I personally dont pick against us as a rule, even when i know we are long shots for whatever reason in the match. But dont have a problem with other people choosing otherwise. Its a little pessimistic but hey, whatever

My only query for you is why pick the round we play Eels, without Hayne and Hopoate? I would think we are more chance of beating them this week, than we have been a chance in the previous 2 matches. The first vs Manly at Mudvale, after a 36-10 drubbing from the Broncos they got the week before, that fired them up. The other was vs Roosters who were pretty much full strength vs us without both halves and Morris and Williams. Both teams are top 4 contenders and were in good form going into the matches vs us.

This week we are certainties IMO.

I hope I am wrong, I really do. And this is the first time in 2 years I have picked against the dogs in my footy tips.

I was confident in beating manly and roosters the last 2 weeks,

But this week, I just have some doubts,
I just don't know where our points will come from,

I looked at our team list, and although I think our forwards are still strong, I think the eels forwards though not in same league as ours, are good enough to lift and hold their own against ours and I think their halves, though not sensational, still offer a lot more than cook and maitua

Our back line is offering very little in attack and are found out in defence, without our regular halves steering them around.

I just can't wait till S O O is over,

Don't get me wrong, I am not selling out, or giving up on the dogs at all, just this one particular game has me very very concerned,

It's true, it is pessimistic.
I promise I will be much more optimistic after state of origin

That's a bannable offence! You have to tip your team all the way to the spoon if you have to. Can never let practicality get in the way of supporting your team.

 

[LFC Bulldogs]

Parras record without Hayne is appalling. They have won something like 15% of matches without him.Lets make sure don't improve their record and hand them another loss

I am going to the game now.

My neighbor (Parra supporter) has invited me to a corporate box to watch the game.

Apparently Brett Kenny & Andrew Ryan will be there to join us with a meal / few beers.

You better sign my jersey!
