[Valheru]

I like dogs here if Crighton can back up

They hung in there defensively against the chooks. I think they will limit the sharks to two tries an win a tight one.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Dogs to get a reality check with a good old thumping.

Raiders and Warriors hype trains derailed last week.

Dogs hype train getting blown up this week.

[Someone2]

Sharks by 16

 

[Miller was a legend]

Hate you so much right now

 

[Vic Mackey]

Feel the sharks are a bad match for the dogs. The biggest prop rotation v the smallest. 2 weeks off after the Fins debacle, no players in Origin, think Fitzy has them primed.

Sharks by 12.

 

[Rising from the Ashes]

Bulldogs to bounce back and win by 20.

 

[Rising from the Ashes]

Raiders and Warriors hype trains derailed last week.

Dogs hype train getting blown up this week.

Dogs are better this year but the real fans know we haven't seen enough to show we are back.. we have beat Knights x2, Raiders, Roosters when Teddy was KO'd in first 10 minutes, Tigers, Titans and Dragons and Eels.. only win against a good side was Roosters and it come with luck.

 

[JamesRustle]

Drug addled Sharks team will be lucky enough to find Accor.. good luck their fans finding it.

Dogs to get the W, with superior support from their supporters.

If the Sharks had any Origin players to rest, would this fine Shire speciman be getting a run?

 

[Apey]

Tough game to tip. Dogs would be a better side if they had proper halves.

 

[This Year?]

Picking try scorers in a multi for this was a delightful task.

 

[Diesel]

What a missed opportunity this wasn’t at Belmore

 

[Diesel]

This game seems to have close to 0 interested in LU

 

[This Year?]

Congrats on 100 games Sifa Talakai.

 

[Diesel]

Nice to see an away team not playing in white

 

[This Year?]

So will there be a 100 painted on the 10m line?

 

[OzDragon]

This game seems to have close to 0 interested in LU

Sharts fans will show up only if they are winning bigly

 

[Diesel]

Terrible start by McInnes

 

[KOMORI]

Congrats on 100 games Sifa Talakai.

I honestly didn’t think he’s been around that long
