Val Holmes maybe out for this game, maybe for the season.

Shoulder injury that may require surgery. Result from Roosters game and why he didn't kick for goal hence KFlan did.

 

[Inisai Toga]

Shit hope not! If so, move Suli to left centre. He’s more effective on that side than the right!

 

[sammymills]

move suli left and nick T to right centre

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.

And.....Angus Crichton- the biggest niggler in the game consistently gets away with major provocation including planting his hand on opponents faces for a nice old massage. And that well-known muscular Christian Lindsay Collins pushed Sloan twice in their contre temps but poor old Sloan, hardly an aggressive player, is the one penalised.

Conversion.
They wear red. I used to visit my grandparents in Redcliffe.
Is this enough for a possible conversion to the Dolphins?
Oh and it starts with D.
If it counts I have seen Dolphins off the beach at Bulli.

We're running out of fit players and ultimately this will influence where we finish in '25. Feel sorry for Val as I think he's been a good signing. Would have preferred he skipped SOO though.

So we acknowledge good teams like chooks and dogs have “good line speed”. But I don’t hear anything about improving our team in that department so we can get closer to being a good team. ???

Yep he knows this , line speed is essential but ours is non existent .........

My head has been dizzy for 15 years now ....... The club has lost all credibility and drive ........ Hopefully the new CEO can turn things around .......

How long have we been saying 'hopefully'?

Souths, Parra, Warriors, Tigers, Raiders, Roosters...all found just enough to dispatch of us when our season was on the line and we had the players at our disposal. The players the coach has rallied in his tenure. Now Bulldogs will notch up another win, just like they did in Round one, like they have done in all the recent years and as they will do again in Vegas. We are just the team you turn up, you beat.

How much money do you bet Holmes' absence won't be brought up in the presser when we get beat? We are built on excuses.

Hopefully the CEO will change something.
Hopefully the young kids will stay around and prosper.
Hopefully we sign some marquees.
Hopefully, hopefully, hopefully...

Hope is not how you make a mark in this comp but it is our mantra.

 

[St Tangles]

We are absolutely no chance

I hate the Bulldogs and will have to put up with their fans all week

Yes I am tired of the "hopefully" and "next year" or "not next year but the next" and "one day our juniors".

Fans want action. not fairytales.

 

[Gardenia]

I have been away so missed the last game but just saw the Val Holmes tackle replay. Lindsay Collins basically jumps on him. Grubby Rorters. Thanks a lot for that, Roosters. Not the first time this sort of thing has happened.

Gosh, I can't stand the Roosters.

We have good linespeed but in reverse.
