PRE-GAME Round 18 - Bulldogs vs Broncos

[Super Freak]

Hodkinson on report I believe, but I doubt he will miss this game.

 

[Alec]

Yeah, seems like all the blame will go to Merrin.

 

[Socnorb]

The beard fad needs to end.

I spose you don't have a micro brewery and you bike has gears as well.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

God I hope Parker plays. Don't worry about McGuire, he will give the Dogs a lesson in League.

 

[vertigo]

Can see Klemmer and the Morris boys bouncing back strongly in this one.

Hodkinson is a non-factor, Mbye is the main man at the Dogs now.

 

[morganmorgan]

Why do we win/lose and why?

 

[Organix]

This will be a challenge. I hope I am wrong but I think we will be going down in this match. The Bulldogs players from the SOO game will be wanting to redeem themselves and our QLD boys will be rested/tired. I dislike Hodkinson passing the blame on that lifting tackle, he was just as involved and the fact he pulled his hands away doesn't change that. Additionally, the Doggies will make huge meters up the middle of the park if our defense is as it has been in that area and that means aerial raids to the Morris bros. and Rona especially towards Vidot. If we can control possession again we will win it, but IMO this will be a really, really tough one. Again, I hope I am wrong.

 

[Super Freak]

SOO could have just as easily destroyed their confidence. It's happened before.

If we can play the way we have been playing, we will win.

Just on Hodkinson, I can see him missing a week at least as he plainly lifted as well and the only difference was he pulled his hand away slightly earlier than Merrin. Hope I'm right, I thought he tried hard last night and was one of four blues to make a big effort. I included Dugan who tried hard but was hurting all the time, displayed some courage.

He won't miss anything.

Only 3 players were charged from the game. Scott (not Matt), Merrin and Tamou.

None of the Blues players you've spoken about today did anything last night man. Come on, take your Sharks glasses off!

My heart says Broncos. My head agrees.

 

[Porthoz]

Why do we win/lose and why?

Sorry, wot?

 

[Alec]

I'm thinking about the Bulldogs forwards. They can dominate most sides. But we seem happy to give away 50-60 metres each set anyway. So if we lose, it might be for other reasons.

Hey, Gallens the only Sharks player in that lot and I reckon he busted a gut in a badly beaten team ! Give them credit will ya, they managed to hold the greatest team in history to only 52 points !!!!

 

[Unbreakable]

Bennett just confirmed we're 1-17, everyone pulled up well from origin.. the bad news is that James Graham is back for the Bulldogs.
