I'm picking the dogs

 

[ed-grimley]

Hopefully the Dogs will deliver the last rites on Manly's year.

 

[GongPanther]

Not sold on the Dogs.Manly to get a shock win by 8.

 

[Vic Mackey]

What rubbish is that jersey the dogs are wearing?

 

[Timmah]

Multicultural something, celebrating the range of nationalities in our squad and fanbase/community. Contains the flags of many nations in the vee.

Great idea but not sold on the execution, looks like a mish-mash

 

[matrightyeh]

[Whino]

Woof woof Dogs to win.

Manly try to keep season alive on Thursday Night Football

The start of round 23 sees us travel out to Homebush for what promises to be a superb clash between two rivals.
Manly can ill afford to drop points in this game and if they do, they can pretty much kiss their finals hopes goodbye. They had a heartbreaking defeat last week against Parramatta in a match they should had won. This comes down to do or die for the Sea Eagles. Will sudden death football Bring out the best in them?

Canterbury are chugging along without an awful lot of conviction of late. They weathered a mini fight back by Newcastle last week to win 28-14 and move inside the top 4. They say that winning games when you're not at your best is the sign of a champion team. Will that continue to ring true for the Bulldogs?
With the retirement of Sam Perrett there is now added motivation for the Bulldogs to take out the premiership.

Manly should get up for this one.

It looks like the simulated harvey norman and VB logos are glitching

Hopefully the Dogs will deliver the last rites on Manly's year.

They were delivered last week. Even if they win every game, Manly can only reach 28, which won't be enough.

 

[Timmah]

28 may well be enough - 7th & 8th are only on 24 at the moment and a bunch of the teams 7th-10th play each other. Not out of the question yet.

 

[Meapro Ham]

As someone who enjoys a bet on the footy, I find the dogs an incredibly hard side to read. I feel like they should probably win easily tonight, but they won't necessarily. Really tough side to pick

 

[ed-grimley]

They were delivered last week. Even if they win every game, Manly can only reach 28, which won't be enough.

A loss will put it totally beyond doubt.
