Opinion Top 8 watch: Next 7 weeks - chance to climb the ladder

[Trinfly]

TELL EM THIER DREAMIN

 

[CaptainJackson]

In your opinion do you think the Jackson Topine court case will slow our recent progress down.
How far we have come as a team this year is beyond anyones wildest dreams.
I think we can beat anyone on any given Sunday!
CC and Gus have done an amazing job, myself at present I’m really down about the court case, it’s pretty pathetic what he has done.
Hoping the dream continues!!!
I suppose time will tell!

The topine case won't have an effect on the team. The club got rid of a whole lot of deadwood from last season probably in somewhat of an ugly fashion and the players seem relieved that the slackers have left the club.

 

[CaptainJackson]

The Tigers will be much tougher than the Knights. They’re playing better than their position on the ladder and they’ll be planning for an ambush so it’s definitely a danger game for us. We need to come out with intensity from opening kick off.
This is literally the first game this year we’ve opened comfortable favourites so hopefully the team is composed enough to get the job done.

Agree.

But I hope we smash the shit out of them and all down our right edge with preston, critta and kiraz purely for the deluded BS their fans think

 

[Matthew G]

Im all for positive vibes in here but some of us need to relax calling us prem contenders, id honestly give anything for that to be true but lets be realistic for now and take it week on week, we ve won some good ones this year but the souths game does show we can have some poor days, hopefully we dont repeat a performance like that on sat

It’s like taking a breath of fresh air!
Finally instead of our season being over by Easter we can now think of finals football!
If we dust the tigers I will be so looking forward to the panthers game!
Any given Sunday!

If it goes to court the players will have to front up being witnesses.
So yeah they will be dragged through it.

Calm down

Don't think it will, if they give evidence they'll do their turn and that'll be it. The coaching staff will keep them on track

No

Stop being agro like salah

No

Stop being agro like salah

There is going to be fire if I speak

The first 2 rounds from us, you can excuse, a brand new team with several new players, 1st game especially was very clunky from us. But even then we pushed Cronulla at Cronulla. The sharks obviously had an off game vs tigers

But every round since then, we've taken a step in the right direction. Even vs souths, the majority of the game was spent at Souths try line, we were just clunky in attack and even though Gerrard Sutton tried to fuck us, we still should have won that game.

Also their win against Parra, was the first time parra played without moses, they're a different team when moses plays.

The consistency has been there since round 1 defensively, adamant this Tigers outfit isn’t scoring more than 2. Purely down to the their halves department lacking any sort of extravagance there’s nothing they can throw at us we haven’t seen before. I barely recall a prop running through us of late our tackling technique is a night and day difference thanks to Ciraldo.

Tigers will aim up they always do against us, vice versa. Will be really impressed if we can rack up a score line here what a statement that would be, enjoying shutting teams out as apposed to inflicting 40+ after the pass few years though. We’ve shown consistency which is key hope we can build some momentum for the Penrith game.

Well we have seen Parra is volnurable. I don't think its just Moses. They have had pretty good players for a while and don't seem to click that often. When they do they can be great. But if we can exploit those weakneses then we have a chance.

By out performances against Storm and Roosters and our last effort which showed we can do it for nearly 80 minutes I think we can go close against most teams. Maybe Panthers and Broncos are the toughest with Sharks close behind. The rest its really open for us to win if we keep playing like we have.

Most teams can be defeated by our team, factors involved, timing, etc dogs just have to keep putting in a performance and a bit of craftiness here and there. Plenty of teams are potentially just like Parra, ready to crumble, some running hot at the moment. We look like a team that opposition need to be on their game otherwise we'd win. Already saw it with a couple (and possibly the sharks game till end) that we could've won.
We've seen the best of some teams and I don't think they can keep at it throughout the season as they are but Bulldogs have depth and look like we're gearing up to regular performances.

Don't think it will, if they give evidence they'll do their turn and that'll be it. The coaching staff will keep them on track

Hope so!
Its just a money grab from Topine so hopefully it will be settled out of court.

 

[maroondog72]

Ciraldo has formulated a different Game plan for every side we have played this year, and every time the boys have stuck to the game plan we have either won or been very close against the better sides. There will be no "Ambush" we simply haven't won enough games for complacency to creep in and CC doesn't seem the type to let that happen anyway. We are going to fucking destroy the tigers.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

LMFAO at the tigers forum. We don't have strike players lol, we only beat easy beats and have had a favourable draw lol, we just lost to storm because they were "depleted" lol

Tigers long way of saying we suck and might win lol

Our legal team will be pushing for it to take place in the off season anyway I'd imagine.

Yes


Always a Bulldog

 

[Dognacious]

thought we would be just outside the 8 with more losses than wins. But the bye got us there, as well as our improved F/A recently

 

[EXPLORER]

My Mrs is a tigers supporter. We have been together for 10 years and have gone to most games together since then. I have not been to a dogs vs tigers game with her and gone home the loser. I will be attending next Saturday.

If the dogs win,
Make her wear a dogs jersey
And only, a dogs jersey lol
