Thompson STILL missing. Surely the club needs to talk to the fans and explain what is going on!

I know his mother was ill, but he's been back in Australia almost a month already and still nothing.

Bulldogs forward Tevita Pangai Junior will be unavailable for our encounter with the Warriors. Pangai Junior has remained in Australia for family reasons.

Faitala-Mariner will run out for his 100th Bulldogs club appearance when comes up against the same club he made his NRL debut for in 2015.

Amazing time for RFM to celebrate 100 games for the club, given his lengthy injury. Hope he has an absolute blinder on Friday night.

NSW Cup probably going to struggle again this weekend it seems as they play Saturday.

Mrs Pangai-Junior is about to give birth to another little Pangai Jnr, hence TPJ not playing this week.

Might explain why he's been off a few games too, given how him and Anna lost their first bub not that long ago late in pregnancy.

I think they have one bub already.

The Thompson situation is strange, but it can't be concussion issues given how long it's been. Let's hope things work out for his mother.

That's great news for Tevita.. wishing them the best for a healthy happy baby.

Not a bad game for RFM to knock up his 100th, I'm sure he's got family over there.

I think we can knock up a score in this one.. despite losing last week they'll still be taking a lot of confidence into the game, meanwhile Warriors look to just about have given up for the year.

Whoever thought a trip to Bundaberg the week before a Friday afternoon game in New Zealand is not looking very smart right now.

 

[Old Woof Woof]

back to our pathetic defence again get rid of the defence coaches and start announcing the new coach !!!

oh that would be the NRL organising our tough road trips

 

[Old Woof Woof]

everytime the warriors get the ball they look dangerous everytime we get the ball we feck the plays up again shakes my head back to the old old days of useless plays. now another mistake by us to give warriors another crack at us pathetic play disgraceful!

 

[Old Woof Woof]

i can see this game turning into a thrash on us by the warriors and sending us to the bottom of the comp again and im blaming management for not making a coaching announcement for next season yet

We have gone backwards some 5 games ago now at least

They definitely would have done the convincing, but we still make decisions. Honestly it makes me wonder, because you wouldn't see the Storm do that, I wouldn't think.

 

[Old Woof Woof]

more pathetic play just before half time

 

[Old Woof Woof]

everyone thinks the warriors are a joke that is until they play us and then they look great compared to us

Yeah definitely 2 steps backwards. Really disappointing after two wins and a decent effort against second. I definitely think the travelling/ short turn around is not helping

 

[Old Woof Woof]

the lack of a coach announcement is backfiring now . there are those leaving the club losing interest and those that are staying not having a clue what they can expect in a coach next season and causing doubt if even the good players should stay . no wonder Burton is going on the open market next year no one can make decisions I cant blame him

 

[Old Woof Woof]

we can make excuses all the time but our mistake rate tonight is outrageous at this point in the season they should know what to do not go backwards tr5avel or not travel other teams are faced with similar .

 

[Old Woof Woof]

i doubt we shall score again in the second half and if the warriors score first again in the second half we are going to get a cricket score against us in the second half.
they just saying best stats warriors have had all year and our errors are unforgiveable
