Bulldogs 13+

Storm .

Margin depends on how complacent they are.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Melbourne by 30.

 

[moffla]

Will win by a comfortable 16
Won’t be the huge blowout people are expecting

28 - 12

 

[This Year?]

The Bulldogs are the giant killers of 2019, beating the table topping Tigers in round 3. Can they replicate it against the Storm in round 4?

Let's hope so!

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Lightening won’t be striking twice for the Bulldogs.

But there will be plenty of thunder bolts going past their players.

 

[STORM.99/07]

Storm by 30

 

[Xcalibre]

Dogs by 6. They will show up Storm for the vanilla side they are. Beating a Penrith side by 30 is akin to beating up a geniused kid.

Fun fact: The Bulldogs are the only current team to have a winning record against Melbourne. 21-18 and 2 draws.

Storm won’t roll over like Wests did. Purple pricks by 20

Please, Wests didn't roll over, you were comprehensively outplayed by a better team on the day!

Absolutely we were. Dogs deserved their win and scoreline flattered Wests. However there’s little doubt Tigers refuses to roll their sleeves up and grind their way back into it, which is exactly what the storm will do if they find themselves behind.

Foran gone for 10-12 weeks, surprise surprise.

Storm by an Innings and 120 runs

If that were the case it would happen a lot more often. We were bad but Melbourne also really have the wood on us, we've only beaten them twice in the last 13 years so the Storm beating us by 30 is nothing new and we're not the only team that go poorly against them.

Bulldogs actually have a decent record against Melbourne, but then again the Bulldogs have usually had much more experienced teams than they do now. I can't see Storm losing at home to this Bulldogs team.
