Official Round 3 : Bulldogs vs Tigers discussion

[Rebuilding Phase]

Tigers' forum in meltdown as they are calling Wakeham to replace Brooks lol

My 3 year old daughter could do a better job than Brooks

I’ve missed many posts above so sorry if this has already been called out but it seems the main issue is we’re not an 80min team (yet). Pleased to get the win and the conditions were atrocious for footy today but if we’re going to go anywhere in this comp we’ve gotta be able to play the entire game. I’m sure Ciro knows that and will keep working on it. In the meantime I’ll channel Meatloaf: ‘Two Outta Three Ain’t Bad’…

Fkn idiots. Wakeham comes on after everyone else has played 65 minutes in 36deg?
Even I’d have carved up if you through me out there, then.

Yep on r/nrl and the saltiness is amazingly awesome

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Cmon mate it was 39 degrees

it was fucked, sweating it out standing still, it was way worse conditions than Brooky

 

[GoTheDoggies]

The team and fans showed great spirit to break the hoodoo that last 5 minutes.

It wasn‘t smart by Ciro not to use Okky. An extremely hot day where we clearly suffered at stages, not using any bench player let along a big mobile one, seems a but foolish.

Edit: Like everyone else the capitulation towards the end was disappointing, but I’ll take the win. We were out on our feet and not getting the rub of the green didn’t help, plus the Tigs actually started playing some decent footy when Wakes came on.

Yeah, really should have injected OK well before the 65th minute.

The use of the bench and interchange timings should have been worked out last Tuesday-Thursday when the team was announced and they knew it would be a hot day.

The only thing to influence it would be injuries, HIA or sin bins.

It may have been a case of them wanting to put OK on with 10 to go and the Tigers try altered their thought, but even after 3 tries they didn't budge, so the whole use of bench spot was wasted.

Why did they change the team song?

That is fucking awesome

 

[Jebbundy]

You lead with "waddel needs to fuck off with his penalties". Seriously, get the fuck over it! 1 penalty for a high shot. Clearly you have no fucking idea, just hate waddell.

Clearly, no idea, you give away a penalty for a high shot, in those conditions and are you saying he never gives away penalties? We needed a decent defensive effort, he didn’t do it, he never does, fuck off idiot, you clearly have brain that can only handle so much. Go light a match at watch it for a while.

We are in the top 8 at the end of a round for the first time in years!

What was the point of having okunbor on the bench… we looked gassed asf in the last 10 he should of came on to help out in the middle. Or chuck Topine in

Can't say I blame them for wanting Wakeham in the halves. They're lacking an organising half. AD is soft AF and can't control a game. His opinion of himself is miles ahead of his ability. You see him blaming everyone else on the field when something goes wrong. Brooks' only strength is his running game, which isn't great when he's in the 7. By all reports, Wakeham has been doing well in NSW Cup for them. They need to sign a real half for 2024 but Wakeham probably can't do worse than what Brooks/AD have for now.

 

[Menteek]

Someone should ask Gus why CC didn't use okunbor and see what he says lol

It was weird in the conditions..,Reed trying shut shop…there was still long way for the game to go ..we needed fresh legs to keep attacking.

 

[Grunthos]

Are you allowed to return to North Narrabeen after visiting the dark side?

The dark side never felt soooo good!

Just got back from the game, I have never felt so proud to be an Australian or a Dogs supporter.
ANNND WE BROKE THE BELMORE CURSE!

Yep wait until they see him play 80 mins lol
Other than some speed in open play Brooks offers nothing however.
Api looks frustrated no doubt Bateman will be too.

The atmosphere looked great. The crowd really were into it with their chanting and support. The supporters are forgiving and desperate to celebrate some success with the team. Bulldogs. Bulldogs... sounded like old times. So good to hear. Such a pity we fell off the intensity and let them back into the game. We were streets ahead of them and the fans would have been delirious if the pla8yers could have delivered a big win.

Happy about the 2 points but we are still negative points for/against. A long way to go but we are def well into the journey

2nd week in a row Sheens has complained about the refs in the press conference.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

I've watched the highlights back from Channel 9. LMAO how salty is that bitch Thompson, as well as Fittler & Johns in commentary. They sounded so lethargic when we scored tries, then you hear them yelling when Tigers scored and getting excited.

Suck shit you biased unprofessional poor excuses for commentators.
