Official Round 1 - Bulldogs vs Cowboys - Team and Game Discussion Thread

[Old Woof Woof]

Well too many setups is not ideal but I thought they at least tried some things.. the Burton Dufty combo will come on, as will Dufty linking with the outside men.

Burns looks likely and also TPJ adds another dimension.

I think after a few more rounds we'll see much more backing up, particularly for Hetherington who often gets the ball carrying arm free.

Time will tell I suppose but I reckon there is points in this team I mean it might take a month or so to click but even Souths required a second sinbin + a million penalties to get their second try for the season after 145 minutes

Suddenly our win looks slightly better with a solid defensive effort against the Raiders by North Queensland tonight.

And we did ok in attack as 2 try’s got taken off us.

Yeah true that it was good for Jake to get over the line too in what was a certain try for mine.

Raiders weren't bad, but weren't good either.

Hard to place them and Cowboys at the moment.

Can't see either of them making the 8.. Cows defence has improved but most of their tries came from kicks against a very flat Raiders
