[Timmah]

I'd love to say we're gonna win but I can see the Saints boys getting extremely fired up for this one. Dragons by 20.

 

[Sleep]

Dragons for sure. They'll be embarassed and fired up after losing last week and should have Weyman and Nightingale back. Dogs forwards still have nothing, while the Dragons will have something to prove.

Dragons by 16.

 

[dogz08]

Ummmmm Dogs by 1

 

[ouwet]

Bulldogs will kick start there season with a victory on friday night... Crowd prediction, 33,456.

 

[thommo4pm]

Do you Doggies fans know if any of your injured players are due back for this one?

Fingers crossed we get Weyman, Nighty, Smith and Saffy back.

Here's hoping for a crowd of 40k +

 

[petetheileet]

a crowd less than 30k would be a failure!

 

[petetheileet]

also dragons by 22!

 

[Timmah]

We should have Morris, Halatau and Gordon back... Roberts and Hannant I'm not sure about.

 

[thommo4pm]

Wasn't Josh originally out for 6 weeks?

 

[thommo4pm]

Hickey is out also isn't he with a broken arm or something to that effect?

 

[dogz08]

I think the crowd will be about 28k

 

[Timmah]

Crowd will not be less than 30k.

Morris was initially 4 weeks but it's not as bad as first thought and he's essentially clear for tomorrow. Hickey's broken arm is 8 or so weeks I think.

 

[jpaciocco91]

Dragons by the 20's.

 

[thommo4pm]

Dragons by the 20's.

Not so confident.
The Dogs will be fresh, like last year when we met.
Our boys looked tired last weekend against Manly, and they have got Josh coming back....I was hoping he'd be out for another week or two.

I'll be happy with a 1 point win in this one.

If we get Weyman and Smith back, and possibly Saffy then I think our forwards should be too strong. Fingers crossed Neville is ok to go also.

 

[dragonfire]

should be a good game, if we dont come up and fire up i will be disappointed. I think we are wearing a Steelers strip this week as well, if we do i dont see why they cant just make that our away jersey

 

[Moe]

Realistically Dragons should win this one easily. Dragons thrive off of opposition mistakes, and we are full of those.

Our only hope is to hold onto the ball and try to get a lead and make the Dragons play catch up footy.

 

[petetheileet]

anyone think 40k will get there??

Im bringing 10 to it!

 

[Timmah]

I hope it will crack 40k but I'd be happy with anything over 30k. I'm gonna predict 34.

 

[ouwet]

I hope it will crack 40k but I'd be happy with anything over 30k. I'm gonna predict 34.

I'll be happy with anything over 30,000... Will depend on St George supporters as to how big the crowd will be! Bulldogs will have about 20,000-25,000 there.
