So how do the doggies make the finals?

They win next week and souths and knights draw.

Also, lol@noughts

 

[user_nat]

That Gidley punch is going to see him suspended methinks. Normally not, but considering all the other brawls over the weekend its going to be scrutinised

They need Brisbane to beat Souths by 50 or so and then Souths to win by about 1 next week.

They also need to win by a fair amount next week.

edit: Or a draw.

 

[BranVan3000]

They win next week and need Souths to lose both their games and Newcastle to lose again next week.

I don't think both Souths and Knights can lose next week

True Brisbane smashing Souths could help the Dogs

If Souths and Newcastle draw next week. Or if the Dogs make up their PD by putting about 70 on the Raiders.

Some sad pricks in here downplaying Barbas effort....get a life

LOL Mrs Gidley....that time of the month and out of plugs

After reading all the comments about a Knights-Bunnies draw I suspect you're right.

Newcastle-Souths could be bigger than the Eels-Titans clash.

 

[nohope]

ooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Mayor West]

Need Brisbane to absolutely destroy Souths but it won't happen to the extent the Doggies need.

Would have been really handy if Manly went down this week so Brisbane had something to play for but yeah, Doggies need a miracle.

On current form it would be over by halftime (and not over like it was today, but over over).

 

[Noa]

Warriors are the only team ever to win in Melbourne in week 1 of the finals.

Yes they did, which makes his shot at the 8th team even more bizarre. Souths are big chance with there ledt side attack and our right side defence.

 

[HowHigh]

Who do the dogs play next week?

Well.. we can still get 2nd if we make up the 100 point difference in F/A. So we have that incentive to smash Souths :lol:

Who do the dogs play next week?

The mighty Raiders.

Raiders at ANZ....an amzing comeback from th diogs....looked like theyd get done by 40 in the first half

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Lol @ this old merkin getting defensive over Barba lmao

For the love of God let Griffin really rip into your players and let them know that 100 points differential is attainable!

I've got to hope for something!

Don't talk about form - it means nothing because it can change in half a game of football.

The best gauge of a result is the relative qualities of the two lineups. Form's only good for talking about last week.

good try from barba, pity he is a turnstyle in defence

His little brother plays in our NYC team. Same story - incredible attacking player but an absolute turnstile and shit under the high ball.

It's tough to know where to play these guys but they definitely need to play. Barba's a genuine match winner.

thats the problem isn't it. where do you play him?

thing is, other guys his size have shown and developed fullback skills so he has no excuse. I'm guessing the dogs want him to keep getting games under his belt but he still needs to make the right decisions and put his body on the line when tackling. fullback is you and the tryline, must be defended like your life depends on it (see slater as much as I hate the grubby merkin, he really puts his heart into that position).
