With Kiks back, Dogs might just jag a win against the odds after a confident 2nd half showing from last week's outing.

 

[captainwarrior]

Call me crazy, but I think the Dogs will win this one. Few big name returns and their defence has been under fire all week. Think they can pull it off.

 

[JamesRustle]

Surprised no players have hammed it up and inscribed something on the tape covering the NRL logo.... cmon boys, can I get a dick 'n' balls, fold some merkins, I God, a stick figure giving the bird... maybe an I PVL would get a laugh.

In this game that means nothing, I hope one of the personality players steps up. JAC with a Let's Trot would be superb.

 

[Fangs]

Nobody interested in this one?

 

[Apey]

Nobody interested in this one?

One of the worst games I've seen, so far.

 

[JokerEel]

Nobody interested in this one?

After the missed forward pass by the touch judge I don't think anyone is interested in it.

 

[t-ba]

One of the worst games I've seen, so far.

It's like they're playing in Quicksand.

Just checked the weather I thought it might be a stinker and that's why they're so slow but it's only mid 20s.

 

[t-ba]

I know they're a new side and they've got tons of injuries but surely Te Whare is nowhere near NRL standard just yet?

But hes a character.

Based solely on being 50% larger than a pro footballer should be.

Yeah look George Rose was a beast and a character but at least he had the conditioning and the ability to be there.

Remember when Bellamy slimmed him down and he was both figuratively and literally half the player he once was?

 

[Munky]

Nikorima is the most ineffective defender in the NRL.

Loved watching PENRITH work him over when Souths would play him at hooker.

 

[Fangs]

Even up penalties galore so far.

 

[t-ba]

Why didn't Bundaberg get games during the Roni season?

 

[t-ba]

That Darcy Moore dude in the Seltzer ad is 27 years old. I honestly thought he was a retired player or some shit.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Da fuq is this scoreline?? Did someone go to the school of Inglis?

 

[Delboy]

Not sure that OSullivan is a better option than Katoa, sensible to rest the first year player but he seemed to fit the Dolphins system.

SOS is a career reserve grader carried by Yeo playing halfback in the PANTHERS system last year.

Good on him for cashing in.

 

[Wb1234]

Awesome try

 

[Munky]

Milford using the crash play to throw his weight around.
