Come on you doggies.

That's the way

 

[ouwet]

big call. I tip O'Donnell to knock Ennis flat this week.

Can Luke 'Injury Prone' O'Donnell stay on the field long enough?

Bulldogs by 16 even without Hannant.

Go dogs.

Btw, B4L, I think was tipping the Cows for tipping sake implying that if the Cows win, he gets the tip right if the Dogs win, he's happy. Sort of win-win in a way.

Yep, spot on. I don't usually do it, though. I just genuinly believe we have been playing poorly and the Cowboys will get the points here and that will sort of fire us up. Fingers crossed that I'm wrong and we do come away with the win.

 

[dogz08]

Thank god this game is live so i can go out after it

 

[Packy]

We need to keep Thurston quiet and kick long and wide with the chase that we have. Keep turning their fatties around so our Fatties don't have to do the same thing.

Ennis needs to keep his inner f**kwit in check so we don't lose any field position though dumb penalties.

I'm not afraid of their backs and if we control the middle well, we should be able to take this away.

Putting $10 on Tronc and Hickey for 1st scorer cos I really like it when giant fatso's score and the 51-1 odds

Wouldn't be surprised to see Ennis and Watts go toe to toe. Ennis will be testing his nerve thats for sure and we all know Watts has a tendancy to over react to litte things.:sarcasm: I just hope he ignores it and does what he does best!

 

[Timmah]

I am afraid of their backs... nay, their fullback lil Mr Bowen. And maybe the winger John Williams.

Apparently Bigbird on the kennel is saying Patten is out (He was limping last week)... El Masri to fullback and Millard wing! It's confirmed that Millard traveled to Townsville so I think he's right.

HUGE Blow for the Bulldogs... No Patten and Hannant, hopefully it's nothing too serious and he's ok... He can do with a week off anyways.

Bulldogs by 2 now LOL not 16:lol:

 

[Bulldogs_4_Life]

^^ I've heard the same thing. Hope it isn't true.

 

[feeding frenzy]

Probably explains why they have drifted out to $2.30 in the betting.

 

[Charlie124]

I instructed my hired goon to take care of Idris, not Patten!

 

[Bulldogs_4_Life]

Patten has been officially ruled out.

Cows by 6...

 

[Apey]

dogs 13 + and souths to win over titans


that is all for now

Cowboys.

 

[Dragon]

Hmm Patten gone is a massive blow. Imo he is the key to the Dogs getting a good start to the set. His runs just carve up the defence and allow the forwards to get a roll on.
