Official Round 9 - Bulldogs vs Dragons Game Day Thread

[Freakzilla]

Hindmarsh just said to Burton what was with that last kick? Glad someone mentioned it to him.

 

[GreenTurd]

Burns cops plenty of flack but was very good today. Would have him at fullback ahead of perham when get kiraz and fox back.

100 % agree burn’s would offer much more than perham

 

[AlzzBulldog]

Burns was outstanding and avo is a definite must re sign, Edwards was brilliant aswell

 

[Robbothedestroyer]

Well done to young Karl played strong and certainly looked at ease first of many games as a bulldog

 

[GoTheDoggies]

1. RFM
2. Averillo
3. Waddell

 

[maroondog72]

It’s quite telling that an 18 year old debutant replaced him and looked more dangerous. Karl didn’t look out of place. He was sus in defence which drags targeted but he held on mostly.

KO has talent flange not so much

 

[boggie23]

There were about 8 other players who won us the game before Reynolds lol you Reynolds lovers will mentions him no matter what

100%

we don’t win without Waddell, burns, averillo, Edwards today

 

[BMOC]

We had so many half breaks and chances. We definitely deserved that win

 

[maroondog72]

We're lacking the quality with our first graders out, the fact we're still competing hard is a positive.

The frustration comes through during the match but the reality is with the quality available you cannot fault the effort and we're seeing signs of an organisation well drilled team in patches.

To Get that game out of that side CC is the real deal IMO

 

[George V Musing]

I have been waiting for a long time to win games even when the ref works against us. Feels good to know we are competitive for most of the game.

 

[Psycho Doggie]

Missed 50 tackles and still won... Don't know how but I'll take it

Dragons with a lot of lateral movement, that often ups the missed tackles for no appreciable outcome

 

[JORDZILLA]

what everyone think about KO today?

 

[AlzzBulldog]

what everyone think about KO today?

Today was all about settling in, got involved in defence

 

[George V Musing]

I think Burns epitomised the Bulldogs spirit when he was the best player over 80 mins, on one leg.

 

[New Era Bulldogs]

Sloan is no fullback. Avo made him look like a smashed avocado

 

[Edgelord]

Can't wait for that team song

 

[KiwiDog7]

Break out game for Avo
That’s all he has to do

Fkn shades of Renouf 92 GF tries

 

[Dogzzz of War]

what everyone think about KO today?

I reckon he went very well for an 18 year old in debut. Let’s see how he develops. May end up playing lock if he keeps growing. I think he lacks a bit of pace and lock may suit him.

 

[George V Musing]

Today was all about settling in, got involved in defence

and I think he looked comfortable in FG - if he shares the role with reynolds - we may find him in a few games starting to fire for the team more.

 

[SPEARTAKVIDREFS]

The good -
We won again against adversity with massive injury toll
We lose these games in previuos years and this is a confidence builder for the players and the Club.
Karl won his first game and played well
Lets face it our bench was yuck for a first grade NRL team but I thought Ciro rotated the bench well
Ciro managed TPJ when he was coming undone.
The team never gave up.

The bad - not tonight, who cares we won
