Round 20 v Bulldogs

[Flinstone]

Interesting, how about Injuries to;
Hamish ?
Luciano ?
Klemmer ?

Maybe it will change before the game, however most of the time it doesn't change.

Probably just the coach rolling out some more excuses in his post game press conference.

For mine, LPT for Klemmer, Nick T for Luc, maybe Cook for Stewart with Ilias to 1/2 and Kyle starting hooker.

zzzz

The season is gone and we'd be wasting our time in the top 8 even if we miraculously managed to win enough games. We've promoted some of our young promising players such as Stewart, Egan, LPT and LKT with mostly good outcomes. JH and Buchanan- and maybe Jett Liu-should be next.

Just hoping that LPT has a younger brother Xavier and then we'll have an XPT.

PS. Is it just me or is Klemmer losing weight. His legs look really skinny and while he's trying to be the tough guy and run hard, he just bounces back off defenders these days. At one point against the Chooks, he was taking a hit up and I thought it was Gutherson.

Sorry possm but Jacob and Viliami haven’t been named in the 22 so no dice

 

[56to66]

Lachlan Galvin to have an absolute blinder @7 at the same time it will be a great tune up for them heading into the back end of the season.
Halftime.
Dragoons 16
Bulldogs 6

Interesting that Klemmer is injured from a Sam Walker tackle and will probably miss a game, yet, Sam Walker is free to play. The NRL MRC can go and get fxcked.

Yeah this. If ever any evidence was needed that the rorters get special treatment from the NRL it's this. Money talks, particularly in brown paper bags.

A complete moronic situation and I agree with what you say maestro1. It happens in a lot of instances where injury is sustained to a player by another and the injured player is sidelined for any number of weeks while the culprit causing the injury either gets a paltry fine or just a week suspension. I think that before the MRC determines what grade of penalty or fine is to be imposed on the offending player, a medical examiner should determine the extent of the injury heaped upon the sidelined player and if the medico says that the injured player needs surgery or rest to heal the injury a timeline is given for the recovery and the defending player, who can of course seek leniency by plea bargaining, should at least serve a reasonable time not playing as well. I mean, if it is a year long recovery period then of course the culprit could not be penalised for that time but maybe a couple of months.

Fair is fair, don't you think?

Yeah I was thinking along similar lines.
Here's my conspiracy take of things on this weekends Dogs game.
Gus (he who must be obeyed by Ciraldo) has told Ciraldo to play Garvin (the worlds greatest NRL player in the past 50 years) over Sexton, cause it's only the Dragons who are a feckin shoe-in to lose. Ciraldo will do as he's told. The Dog's victory will then unleash the flood of praise from the usual media flogs, cause they're all frightened to get offside with Gus. This dribble will last for days (and days and days) cause it's all to script. Gus will be happy, cause it's so much easier to prove your point against a much weaker opponent!

Footnote.
What I'd give for the boys to prove my demented viewpoint wrong and seriously kick ass. Give it to them and send the arrogant pricks back to the kennel where they belong.
Go you mighties!!

 

[I'm Hornby]

Great team sheet, so much for Flanagan blooding the youth hey?

I guess LPT, Halangahu, Tsougranis and even Fifita aren't worth a look in over the well favoured Lawrie, Klemmer, Guler etc.

 

[saintmar]

For mine, LPT for Klemmer, Nick T for Luc, maybe Cook for Stewart with Ilias to 1/2 and Kyle starting hooker.

So Ilias needs to save the coach now

 

[RedVDave]

Dogs are really out of form so now's our chance to play them into some go get 'em!

Same, I got the em mixed up at one point of the game.

Could have lost weight. Pretty sure I read somewhere that he is a vegan these days.

 

[Dragon David]

David Klemmer certainly has changed significantly from his early days at the Bulldogs. He isn't as aggressive nor as muscular looking now 10 years further on. He is fit though.

Remember this?

For the sake of justice and the NRL i really hope someone absolutely belts galvin this week and he has a shocker. What bulldogs have done to Toby Sexton is just a grub act in my opinion. A bloke works his arse off with the team, delivers all these victories and then gets sacked for the shiny new toy who in my opinion is untested.
