Official Round 3 : Bulldogs vs Tigers discussion

[InGusWeTrust]

Is that him? Oh fuck.. Haha. Spin a wheel every time he makes a decision because anything could happen. I don't know how they didn't drop him after that. Shows they have no standards and never hold themselves accountable. Hopefully he doesn't do more crazy shit this week otherwise it could ruin a good day and game

That’s him alright. When he started I found his style refreshing, because as I said, he seemed to be very unbiased. You’d think that didn’t need saying with referees, but here we are. I haven’t exactly paid much attention to his reffing recently, so who knows what we’ll get on Sunday. I did watch that Dolphins match but didn’t focus on him. Iirc, the SOS sin bin seemed partially compensation for the Raider sin bin, which was over the top from memory. I can’t even remember what it was for.

Oh have u seen the abc article today?

Phil Gould's complaints about NRL's 'concussion hysteria' at odds with science around chronic brain disease

Despite the science linking repeated head knocks and chronic brain conditions, the NRL still cops criticism for trying to protect players. But the latest moves show the league has no intention of stepping back, writes Jonathan Healy.

Original headline was hammering him haha

I still can't believe he said it haha.

No Turvey is the king!

Turvey is the Archbishop of Canterbury

Looks like it's staged however the awkward face Brooks pulls may suggest otherwise.

Yeah thought it was staged but really not a good look either way lol

 

[Benno Bulldog]

I hope Bateman plays. Can you imagine a Pom playing his first game of the season in 35 degree heat? He’s coming off an injury too, and he’s only been here for a couple of months

Yeh im with you mate play the guy…unless like it does on those type of days have a storm in the afternoon…idea is to put points on early…keep them pinned in corners…Mahoney has been Good with kicking game. Burton growing in confidence if he is kicking for JAC to chase I like it as they are usually still pinned if they miss out.

I think we have to be careful.
Tigers will be absolutely gagging for a win here. Bateman will be back and if he is on they will lift.

We cant rest on our laurels.
I know I am in the minority here but I really thought there were worrying signs against Melbourne despite the win.

Maybe somebody has already mentioned it but they should push the game back an hour due to the heat. It’s looking like it’s going to be a scorcher

I’d agree they are worrying signs if you had the expectation we were grand final bound. But if you were realistic and had us as an outside chance for the 8 I’d say the signs were good. At least we look like there is potential to score points. Not since the glory days of Kerrod Dutchy Holland have our outside backs looked so likely uleh

 

[Daustin]

We’re going to get a real good look at how fit our team is this Sunday

 

[Haddaway]

I just want the win at this stage of the season. By 1 or 50 doesn't matter to me.

As the season progresses then we will see what type of team we are and then my expectations will change.

I think we're too early into the season to be saying we should "smash" anyone. Will be happy if we do though.

 

[DT]

Okunbor on the bench is good imo.

I agree...he has size and pace, he also has had horrible hands so as long as he holds the ball this may well be his future because a winger who can't catch is of no use to anyone

 

[GoTheDoggies]

If we lose to the Tigpies at home we should fold.

Coach will have no other choice but to flog the players if they lose.

 

[Raysie]

Should be a simple game plan this round. Play the terittory and posession game and tire the Tigers out with pressure and the heat.

Stupid errors, penalties and 6-agains against us will be the only way Tigers win this. We have a habit of tackling ourselves into exhaustion and eventually being blown away. That's what Manly did to us.

 

[wendog33]

We MUST control possession (inspite of the refs).

 

[Woofwoof1980]

Per Gus on his podcast :

- Okonbur being trained as an edge forward. On the bench because he can cover wing as well (important to have that with all of the HIA's) ;

- Reynolds not playing first grade this week

I actually don't mind this he has been doing well in cup. I have been pretty critical of dick fingers, but credit where credit's due. His confidence is up and I think he'll do well in this role.

 

[Doggone1975]

We need to focus on 80 minutes of footy and not drop off if we get to a 12 plus lead in second half
