This was a coin toss. Came up heads, so Melbourne it is then.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

LOL this game

 

[Tipster]

In all seriousness let's hope for some improvement from the Dogs. Maybe they can score a couple of tries and get within 20

What's the record amount of game time for a team to go scoreless?

20 tries? Surely not 20 points.

 

[Incorrect]

What's the record amount of game time for a team to go scoreless?

I believe the Dogs will be holders of the record if they go scoreless again this week. I think 1 team some time back has gone 7 halves of footy without scoring a point, so if the dogs go 8 halves, they'll set the record

[SDM]

Papenhuyzen to score 8 tries in 3 minutes

 

[Sphagnum]

Hopefully they’ll parachute the grub Smith in to give the bulldogs a change room pep talk after this one.

 

[Grapple]

Papenhuyzen to score 8 tries in 3 minutes

His support play is right up there with Tedesco in my opinion. RTS and Gutherson are
also great at it. Amazes me how many other fullbacks in this game just wait to get involved and don't hang around the ruck.

In 2014 round 10, Sharks scored their last points in the 51st minute, then 3 games scoreless with 2 byes, then scored their first points in the 53rd minute of round 16. That's 322 game minutes. Bulldogs are currently on 244.

Laziness

 

[big hit!]

If I were a bulldogs fan, I'd get to Stadium Oz for their table topping under 19s curtain-raiser match vs Souths at 3:15pm, and then leave before the storm annihilate their NRL team.

 

[Grapple]

Laziness

yes, and with some of the young fullbacks it's also self confidence. If they don't have it they hang back and wait, which is kinda understandable, i mean you have a starting role and you don't want to screw it up being out of position or stepping on someones else's toes.

While not a fullback, this is what made young Benji such a weapon back in the day. He backed his ability one thousand percent, and i would also argue it's the same thing that was drilled out of Shaun Johnson. (amongst other things like warriors need for a controlled kicking game)

 

[dogz08]

We should win this

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Storm to put cue in the rack early but still win 30+

 

[Apey]

I reckon Dogs will score a try here.

 

[2010Dragons]

The scoreboard attendant should put 150 points up for the dogs at the start of the game and just deduct 1 point for every stuff up. The dogs surely should have 1 point by the end of game.
If storm are serious, they should put 60 on the dumb dogs.
