'13 | R4 | Good Fri 4pm | Bulldogs 12-17 Rabbitohs | ANZ

[Packy]

And yeah.. Can't see how the Bunnies aren't raging favourites here.

Not confident.

 

[Timmah]

I wonder if Peter_phelps realises Puncbowl maccas is a Bulldogs sponsor?

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

The Rabbits are gonna get CRUCIFIED.

Eh, eh, eh.

 

[Grapple]

I think Dogs will play their best game of the year. Pretty confident with the return of Frank and Benny boy. Souths will be up for it, to make up for last years exit but ultimately will fail.

The very definition of we don't got this

is "Bulldogs deserve to be favorites" the new way of acknowledging your team is going to get flogged?

Dogs 13+, been competitive against stronger teams with quality players missing, meanwhile souffs were involved in a game of touch footy last Sunday

puhhhleeassse, how much can I put on 13+??

Dogs by 39

 

[chrisD]

Souths by just as much as it takes.

 

[Grapple]

The more I think about this game the more I think we'll just smash Souths.... I mean, sure they have Reynolds, but we also have a Reynolds.... and they have the hopeless Sutton but we have the hopeless Kris Keating! The have the violent "blackeye" Inglis, but we have the "speedy pokie-man" Barba.... etc etc... it will be a great game but Dogs will want it more. Souths have been cruising and are about to meet a determined Dogs team with a couple of key players back in the line up.

In conclusion: Canterbury will win quite comfortably, Dogs 32-12.

As much as you want.

It will be amusing when you lose said cash.

lol , most of the bulldogs fans are writing like the roosters fans in round 1.

Should be a good game , however i believe Bulldogs will not repeat their gutsy performance from last week ( against a sub standard Storm performance). They lost that game and expect them to get shafted again on friday.
The only saving for bulldogs is to hope Souths are flat after the hot panthers game on sunday.

Lol @ putting Keating and Sutton on anywhere near the same level this season.

Sutton has been one of the form players of the competition. Keating is dog shit.

How dare you! Keating is magic in a little ginger bottle. ;-)

Sutton is and will always be an average player, simply doesn't have the smarts for finals footy. Same with Keating. Let's be honest here Souths fans, they're both average at best but still do play well enough in the team.

Have you seen us play this season?

Sutton was MOTM against the Sharks, and should have been Channel 9 MOTM against the Panthers. He was immense.

He was also the George Piggins Medal winner last season, best player as selected by his peers.

Since Maguire came to Souths, Johnny Sutton has been far from average. He's a consistently good footballer.

I didn't see the Panthers game but have watched all the other games. I'll admit he's playing better under Maguire and this season - but I still don't rate his decision making (same as Keating). It's obvious Reynolds controls the game more and has a bigger influence than Sutton. You saw that in that semi where we knocked you out..... remember?! ;-)

Decision making becomes a lot easier when you have Inglis sweeping around outside you ;-)

No doubt at all that Reynolds controls the game more, but that's not John's role. He's a running five-eighth that opens up holes for Inglis and Merritt outside of him.

Let's not talk about that night! :crazy:

:lol:

It was a shame, (but nice all the same) I think you guys had the upper hand at that point in the game and had the edge.

Sutton plays well in his role on the left edge, and should run it more with a little aggression - same with Tony Williams on our side. Frustrating players in both teams. :lol:

 

[BunniesMan]

Game day! Nervous and excited. At our best I do think we're the better team and should beat them but with Barba back and because this is a clash of 2 premiership contenders anything could happen.

 

[LeedsRhinos]

Waiting on the Dogs as the last leg of a 5 leg multi.

Doggies by 8

 

[Mr Angry]

Inglis is the man.

Said it for years and years, best fullback I have seen. Not even near his peak IMO.

What we have started to see is the danger of his running in any third of the field, and his ability to ball play.

What will come is kick returns that he scores on, consistantly, and more and more try saving feats.

Am glad QLD will pick him centre, limits him.

 

[BunniesMan]

Win or lose I hope the quality of the footy matches the occasion and the crowd size. There's been more stinkers than good games so far this year and it can't be appetizing for a casual fan.

This game will have a lot of casual fans watching, hopefully it's a good advertisement for the game.
