Bulldogs by 6

Titans to win by 40+

 

[Shorty]

Last year's game at Skilled ended up being a cracker didn't it?
I think it'll be similar this year and I may even tip the 'Dogs to win.

 

[Timmah]

What has this game got to do with you? :sarcasm:

 

[jpaciocco91]

tits by 8

 

[Rutager]

Prince out, tits to crumble.

 

[Dogs Of War]

Prince out, tits to crumble.

Maybe, but it makes it scary with Preston at halfback, he ain't no Prince, but he does make the team play a whole different style of game, which will make it hard for the Dogs to know what to expect.

 

[Charlie124]

If Prince plays, Bulldogs by 2 - 8
If Prince is out, Bulldogs by 13+

 

[Jobdog]

Prince out, tits to crumble.

Is that confirmed, or speculation?

 

[aussies1st]

We won't know till 1 hour before the game. Sounds like Kevin Gordon could be making his debut.

I like the Tits. They're pleasant to watch and they've never managed to offend me.

But enough of my pr0n viewing habits, lets talk footy.

Losing Scott Prince is a bitter pill indeed for the Titans fans to swallow, coming as it does on the back 2 losses. Normally the Tits start well and sag and droop as time passes, but this season they're struggling for their usual perky form from the get go.

They still have a killer back row, and a big bull up front, but they just haven't clicked as an outfit.

The Dogs are playing well and will probably go in as favourites, even away from home and that's where I'm putting my money. Dogs by 10.

 

[Lambretta]

PS William Zillman will be playing for the Titans and if he fires, he could be that lack of spark that the Titans have been missing.

I think he'll be a little rusty - but I prefer him at full back and would play Preston off the bench and start Zillman every week.

 

[Shorty]

What has this game got to do with you? :sarcasm:

God you could have done better than that, I didn't even notice it until now:lol:

 

[lockyno1]

If Zillman plays the Titans will win

 

[Sleep]

Prince is out per NRL.com. Campbell to halfback, Zillman to fullback.

 

[Timmah]

Ryan crashes over, mighty dogs up 4-0. God on earth proves he's human and
misses the conv.

 

[DragonPunk]

10-6 tits HT.

 

[Daddycool]

Considering the dramas the Dogs have had to contend with this week, they did very well to stay in it, right until the end.

The Titans though, are a very well coached team, and at home are tough to beat. No Scott Prince either.....so to all those who thought they couldn't win without him.......wrong.

 

[jimmythehand]

what a f**king disgraceful refereeing performance

Did anyone else notice how well the Titans exploited Idris's deficiency in not coming up in defence on the line?
