[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..
