Round 25 Team list + discussion

[NPC83]

Patolo named in nsw cup, so I would assume he would drop out for Thompson.

Many will just throw it around get to the edges.

Yeah that’s the logical change. Would not have minded Morrin back in for ZDC but he’s probably too valuable to NSW cup chances. Hope he’s a regular on our bench next year.

 

[diddly]

yep
Weird why Alamoti was named in reserves but he’s definitely in for nsw cup

I thought burns got injured against sharkies, could hardly run in the second half.

 

[KiwiDog7]

Wtf no Thompson, his nickname should be tampon! In for one week and out for three.

He’s had his period for 3 months straight

I wish they would just name the team, its fkn embarrassing playing mind games in the last game of the year

 

[KiwiDog7]

Yes unfortunately I watched the last 4 games. Some of the worst 4 games I have seen as a Dogs fan

I'm not confident of a win but I'm hopeful. I'd give us a 55% chance but only because Manly have been diabolical. Against any other team I'd give us no chance but against Manly I think we can eke out an ugly 10-4 win

Our defence was OK last week so hopefully a few of the plodders aim up since they know Ciraldo is watching.

Fair enough

I’d certainly take a dub to end this era of mediocrity but I’m managing expectations (low)

Yeah same but why name Alamoti? While the first grade debut would be great surely nsw cup semi is more important

Have to play someone there if burns isn't fit.

Possibly. My preference would be Alamoti given he is signed for next near. Debut against a weakened manly, less pressure. Make watching the game more interesting.

No doubt, if he can back up for reggies

 

[Bob dog]

We were So excited at the start of the year, surely the passes and defense will stick for this one.
Doin it rough, its not Manly's best year either, urgency from the kick off, Dogs 13+

 

[KiwiDog7]

LOL not expecting a win. We're playing Manly. They've been horrible recently...even worse than us.
We should be able to jag a win, even playing Desball

Edit: I’ve just seen the manly team named, oh well that’s a terrible back 5

 

[Rod67]

Looks like Thommo has either played his last game for us or they're taking no chances with him and want him fit and ready for the last year of his contract.

Haven't been confident over the last few weeks but this game I am.

We'll put a margin on the "Pridester's" as I said when the Pride saga occurred that their season is effectively over, and they won't win another game this year. More because the club put virtual signaling before the players who didn't know anything about the jersey.

Now those players are paying the club back in spades ever since. It's a Clayton's bye, the bye you have when you're not having a bye.

 

[Robbothedestroyer]

Very ordinary looking manly side surely we can get up for this game.

 

[CQDog]

Looking forward to Andrew Davey watch.

as had been said multiple times... as he is coming back from Covid he has to isolate for the full week, then needs medical clearance to resume playing. that has not happened yet as he hasn't been back in to belmore yet. Will happen before game.

 

[AlzzBulldog]

Looking forward to Andrew Davey watch.

Is he actually coming

 

[Bulldogsteve]

Yeah same but why name Alamoti? While the first grade debut would be great surely nsw cup semi is more important

no one cares about reggies, first grade is always first

 

[CQDog]

Is he actually coming

Yes, 4 year contract at 650k per season.

Thanks Steve
