[Warrimoo3]

Last week Seibs inexplicably handed the keys to the Kingswood to Luke Brooks for the biggest match of the year . Extra motivation for Brooksey against his old club. Look how that turned out . DCE to get the keys back this week but Manly’s right side defence sucks big time. The Bulldogs look almost unstoppable at the moment. Addo Carr with a hat trick and the Dogs to win in a canter bury .

 

[Valheru]

Dogs on fire - them to keep rolling towards the finals.

 

[eagles4eva]

Doggies by 18+ talking so much momentum into the finals...

Shyte-Bald got no clue as to positional selections. Very much hoping another nail in his coaching career at the Eagles...

 

[Vic Mackey]

These two teams couldnt be any more opposite in terms of playing style. The Eagles early shifts could work against the Dogs rushing D, or it could implode and they go nowhere. Manly threw away a home semi last week, dont think they play that badly again. Think this will be a really good game, tipping Manly in an upset

 

[JamesRustle]

Go the Dogs... I want Manly to lose their last 2... Hate for Manly is not the driving factor. I just want to see Luke Brooks build on the number of games played without making finals and Seibs is a flog of the highest order.

It’s capped at two more only blud, we’re unfortunately locked in to the finals.

 

[JamesRustle]

Well.. hopefully Brooksy does a 2-3 game hammy.

 

[Warrimoo3]

Hopefully Blocker and Voss don’t get the game. Just fast forwarded through the Bulldogs-Warriors match. Crichton stays on the field after his shoulder hits RTS . A minute later Blocker says “Shaun Johnson will come into his own here, the Bulldogs a man down.”
Voss : “No they’re not “
2 minutes later Blocker again
“I think he should have gone to the bin”

CTE . Thy name is Blocker.
Annesley might say at his weekly review: “Blocker. CTE. Case closed.”

[Sime_11]

good Manly turn up - Dogs 1-12
bad manly turn up - Dogs 30+ - they'll score 50

 

[eagles4eva]

thank goodness Talau back, Koula is a puss defender..

 

[Black Panther]

Manly 1-12. Dogs come crashing back to Earth.

 

[Warrimoo3]

Just checked out the team lists. WTF happened to Jake Simpkin? Did he steal Seibold’s CPAP machine or something ?Named for Blacktown Workers alongside Aaron Woods, Brad Parker and Ben Condon. Not only is he the best dummy half in the club, he’s the ONLY dummy half in the club.

Its all She-Bald....His selections are beyond pathetic

 

[_snafu_]

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Ugh it’s Klein. Thank god I won’t be watching.

 

[Warrimoo3]

Klein to take the final pass this week and score under the posts. Try for the Bulldogs. Confirmed by the bunker. Graham Annesley: It was an impressive turn of speed by Ash. He was definitely onside.

 

[This Year?]

I'm over Braith "two teams" Anasta's smugness after a dogs win. I have a few mates who are dogs fans so I'm happy for them though.
As for the team itself I find them pretty much unlikable.

 

[Sime_11]

i swear i heard on triple M earlier this week they are predicting 40k + to this game

is this fair dinkum?
