Passing mark here is staying in contention for a prolonged period. There isn’t an reason to be flogged if we’re genuinely improved we will keep this 1-12.

Ur not wrong.. but honestly could we have won more? Could we have won more convincingly?
How much of those wins came from the HB?
I can understand Hutch has been a general on field at times and his job is to conduct the system more than anyone else... can he still not do that from lock? Can Sexton do it or help?
Would be interesting to see if it can work considering Mann is out for a while.

I couldn't work out if Kikau is out or not? NRL article doesn't mention him.
If Kikau is playing then basically the only changes from last Friday are two outside backs and two bench players.
And we're coming off a win, after scoring 26 points in the first half against the Roosters. And were the better side against Souths.
So I'm not sure why Bulldogs are 5/1.
The F/A is not that much different between the two sides either.
I'd like to see Hayward, Kautoga, Knight and Skelton on the bench.
With Papali'i at fullback and the only change from last week's starting side apart from Hughes who looked good to me.
Starting Papali'i against Storm is a big ask but it means less disruption to the backline.
Would love to see what Skelton does off the bench.

Probably be missing Mann, Taaffe and Tracy. Hopefully Kings hand is not so bad. I think Sexton will either play half or come on the bench to replace man. Crita to fullback, Kiraz and Xerri centres and Fox and Wilson on wings. Still a pretty good back line with heeps of speed and ability. Will see what difference Sexton makes.
May stack up the forwards again. Not sure on fitness of Edwards and Patolo. Maybe Edwards missing as its a back issue. So maybe Faamausili, Patolo, Kautoga or Knight on bench. If King out then maybe Tetevano comes in. If they are all injured then we are only left with Knight, Faamausili, Tetevano and Kautoga.
But I hope they blood a NSW cup mid like Marshall or Loopi.

If Kikau is out I'd have Curran still play through the middle, but defend on left with Burton to try contain Hughes / Katoa combo.

Really dumb question, is there a section at AAMI Park "allocated" for Bulldogs fans? When I have been there before, I have just sat amongst Storm fans, which has been fine because each time the Dogs won, but I would rather be amongst some Dogs supporters this week just in case things go really pear shaped.

Hutch being in the starting side makes no sense, I don’t want to sound like a negative bloke but he’s not a starting first grader, he should be setting up tries, not bombing them. Bench at best.

Now that he's halfback we kind of need to stick by him until someone within the lower grades really stakes a claim for the no.7 jersey.
I don't see Sexton or BBO being retained beyond this year.
We really now need to quieten down trying to recruit everything on the market and believing in our investment systems.
