Official Round 3 : Bulldogs vs Tigers discussion

[turveys asthma puffer]

Ok, so what I am hearing you say is:
"Ok but you have to include the Dragons game in the games we should have won at Belmore."
Also, "We beat ourselves that game."
And "Can’t blame repeated kicking out on the full and not attempting to catch bombs on the coach getting sacked."

You are very passionate about this opinion, to the point of repeating it over and over and over and over and over and over and over again...
(7 times in fact).

Ha, yeah i think my internet could be cursed. I was clicking and clicking but i could not refresh the page.

That bench is just gross

 

[Mitch Connor]

I actually think we get ambushed tomorrow. If so we should never play another game at Belmore again.

 

[ILiveForDib]

After watching Titties and storm wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a high scoring game tigers attack is shite though.

70 - 6 dogs win

 

[D.O.W.]

Fuck Bateman playing is worrying. Hes a beast. Need to keep him quiet.

He’s a stick figure that melts in temperatures beyond 30degrees Celsius

 

[Kempsey Dog]

That bench is just gross

Can't understand why we wouldn't run Topine over Okunbur and anyone over Tanner, would prefer Morrin but for whatever reason he was shafted out of top 30

 

[2ndphase]

I reckon the heat would be too much for Batemans first game he wont get too many minutes.

 

[Eesma]

Fuck me why play tanner. Pele is miles better than him and the heat doesn’t mean nothing. Tanner flopped in round 1 against manly.

We can’t lose this especially at belmore and Reynolds possibly playing. We get tpj and pele back next round too.

You ever been a 130kg bloke playing NRL in 35 degree heat?
If one thing's clear from the games so far this round, the heat has been causing a slew of handling errors. Pele is prone to errors on a good day. Based on 2023 form, the only real chance the Tigers have of beating us is off our own errors. I'm not a fan of Tanner coming in to replace him but not playing Pele is the right move from CC.

 

[D.O.W.]

And Tanner didn’t? He was monstered in his debut. Allowed eagles to dominate the middle

Kiraz got smashed in his first run with us in that trial vs Sharks, he’s been enormous since… I think the move to add Tanner must be strategically linked to the forecasted heat, Tanner goes all day.

 

[Kenya]

Tigers have their backs against the wall.
Hoping we put our best game on.

 

[bradyk]

Close game on paper and we're cursed at Belmore apparently. I'm predicting we win in a close game but this is probably the type of game we lose.

 

[KakkaDog]

If it's sold out will they have a big screen like the sharks game years ago? Im poor

 

[enoughsaid]

big screen where?

 

[KakkaDog]

big screen where?

Outside Belmore stadium. I can watch on my phone outside but it was nice to have the big screen for the hoi polloi

 

[Dogna88]

Round of upsets...... got me nervous

 

[RookieDog]

Does anyone know if our membership is included for the Belmore game, or do we have to purchase tickets?

I think it depends on the type of membership.

There are some which only cover a limited number of games.

If it's a full membership, check the back of your card and it will indicate which seat is yours at Belmore ie Belmore game included in membership and you don't have to purchase tickets

 

[RookieDog]

Round of upsets...... got me nervous

It's actually better less likely our game will be an upset as the other upsets will have already happened! Statistically, not every game is going to be an upset

 

[diddly]

Can't understand why we wouldn't run Topine over Okunbur and anyone over Tanner, would prefer Morrin but for whatever reason he was shafted out of top 30

Tanner is no star - not an ounce of flash in his game, but in reggies last year he was a workaholic type of middle - gets to where he needs to be and scraps for everything.

 

[Haddaway]

Is Tanner the one that was getting smashed after every carry?

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Is Tanner the one that was getting smashed after every carry?

He only had like 2 lol
