BBO to 5/8th now we should see some speed . Okunbor dropped no surprises there . Meaney and Allan swapping places every week for fullback spot.
Bad selection Katoa on bench wasting a spot. No sign of our other halfback and the worst buy of the year Flanagan comes back and gets dropped again for playing yet another shit game.
We are carrying passengers Flanagan, Katoa, Napa, Waddell.
Two duds all recently resigned Okunbor and Elliot two other duds bought this season Flanagan and Waddell. FFS we love buying or keeping duds.

 

[Old Woof Woof]

And still no sign of another hooker we are not going to resign Katoa and JMk imo is not the goods he has had plenty of time to prove himself
Any wonder we are almost 100 points less in the scoring department to second last the Broncos. On average we are scoring 12 points a game which is crazy in the current way the game is played.
Why keep Meaney in first grade we know he is not interested . Shakes my head.

A few changes I'd like to see here.

- Tui Katoa in to replace Manu (I just don't rate him).
- Jackson Topine replacing Sione Katoa.
- Lewis 18th man.

 

[Old Woof Woof]

I would go with lewis but i dont think they are keeping him so he is on the outer now

 

[boxer]

Fuck yeah no Okunbor and BBO at 5/8

 

[BomberBurton]

Meaney, Hoppa, Katoa's and Napa should not be playing again this year to start with.
Waddell, Stimson, Allan, JMK and Flanno are close to inclusions upon that list too.

 

[BomberBurton]

Leaves 20 players out of our top 30!

 

[Old Woof Woof]

good thinking Nathan.

 

[spiritofaslan]

Tigers 1 to 17
Dogs 1 to 17 except Napa starting and Seumanufagai on bench.

...

My prediction.
Half Time:
Tigers 18 (Mbye, Nofoaluma, Leilua)
Bulldogs 6 (BBO)

Full Time:
Tigers 32
Bulldogs 12

 

[Old Woof Woof]

my prediction we wont score lol

 

[Old Woof Woof]

weak as piss defence dogs

 

[spiritofaslan]

Today proved that we need another hooker. JMK just isn't making the right decisions. BBO barely saw the ball and Averillo despite having over double the receipts, did nothing.

For me Manu and Meaney were best on field for us.

 

[BomberBurton]

One team I want to beat at any fucking cost and we can't even manage that!

 

[Old Woof Woof]

Actually i would like to give Flanagan to the sharks because then we shall see if its the coaching over here if Flanagan has a few blinders over there lol

 

[Old Woof Woof]

I am sure a few of us over here have noticed that players that have left the dogs in the past year and whom were playing ordinary football here have suddenly developed into better players at other clubs. Hmmm

 

[BomberBurton]

Yeah, frustratingly so.
