2022 Pre-Season Trials - Week 2 (Feb 25-28)

[yobbo84]

Bulldogs are going to give away 20 penalties a game this year... calm down fellas

 

[t-ba]

Dogs seem to be playing dumber than usual.

 

[skeepe]

TPJ really doesn’t want to play in round 1. What a muppet.

 

[t-ba]

Dogs too busy trying to punch to prevent tries.

 

[skeepe]

Dogs seem to be playing dumber than usual.

Look at the big brains they’ve signed… TPJ, Naden, Vaughan, Hetherington last year. It’s by design.

 

[Mickyd39]

TPJ is couple of sandwiches short.

Baz doing stupid shit again?

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

He hasn't been the same since the McKinnon tackle.

That incident was s life changer.

What is this abomination the Dogs are wearing? Those dark red numbers on a dark blue jersey are impossible to read.

They look a bit like Fortitude Valley Diehards.

Diehards is a better brand than Bulldogs.

 

[blaza88z]

Maclean has been a flop.

I've gotten up to page 33 of the DonkeysHQ thread. Apparently the refs rigged it for us to win.

Some one whined about Brisbane being pulled up for not playing the ball with their foot. Didn't Adam Gee penalise us twice in the first half for the same thing?

I think he might have picked us up on it after awarding six again.

They're whining about being penalised for holding down in the ruck. I do think Brisbane were over jealous in this area when they hadn't earnt the right. Billy Walters was the worst all night at doing this.

I think both teams showed signs of improvement on last season, but are still a long way off from where they need to be.

I was very impressed with Townsend, Dearden, Drinkwater, Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, Murray Tuilagi, Rueben Cotter, Gilbert, Neame, Hiku, Holmes and Hess. We've got some goof young blokes coming through. Granville was good. Time to get rid of Maclean. Jayden Hodges should be given a go at some point as I'm not sold on Robson.

I am a poster there but I don't take them seriously half the time, after we flogged Wynnum in Week 1 of the trials a few were carrying on like we had turned the corner and fully expected us to repeat the dose against the Titans. Then half the forum was near demanding Cobbo be given the fullback jersey on the back of a few big games last season for Wynnum, he's only 19 years old, give him time to develop.

I do think we'll be a lot better, Reynolds won't be able to do it all but he will be that glue to capitalise on the dominance of Payne Haas up the middle, I don't think other teams will get the ball back cheaply and that's the biggest thing for mine. Just in the Cows game, at least in the first half we were strolling down the middle but then the same old story, no control and poor execution.

Turpin's next adventure surely has to be with the Dolphins, he looked quite promising initially but he's given us nothing for a couple of seasons now.

 

[Perth Red]

Munster looking like he has put charlie gate behind him. Storm looking ominous as always.

 

[skeepe]

The Sharks haven’t really been anything special, just solid, but the Bulldogs… yikes.

Only a trial and all that but they’ve been simply awful.

There were a couple of times that Brisbane had an overlap on the left edge, but couldn't get the ball out wide. Reynolds and Kelly will help the club convert those situations onto points.

Mitchell took awhile to reach his potential. The same will hold true with Cobbo. I think Mitchell and Inglis started out in the centres of successful teams, so they eased their way into it before going to full back.

Broncos should put Cobbo in the centres and maybe look at putting Tyson Gamble at fullback. He's a competitor and gives 100%. He's the gritty energetic player Brisbane need to get their sets started.

[t-ba]

TPJ is such a f**king moron.

 

[skeepe]

TPJ is such a f**king moron.

Reckon he can get put on report a third time?

[beave]

I thought Jordan would add more than what he's brought. He's another one who's was strong at Melbourne under their system but is out of his depth when he goes elsewhere.

Wasn't he supposed to fill Tamou's role?

I'd say he's filling Tamou's role to a T......

 

[some11]

TPJ is such a f**king moron.

You get three good games out of him a year and twice that many on the sidelines.

 

[JokerEel]

Dufty showing why the Dragons let him go with his awful defence.

TPJ omg what a tool. Bulldogs will come last again for sure.
