[Valheru]

Dogs are on an upward trajectory and should be too much in this one

 

[Vic Mackey]

Dogs are on an upward trajectory and should be too much in this one

Dogs deserved favorites, however I think we went ok the last 2 weeks, just hopelessly outclassed by the best 2 teams in the comp. Will be good for us to come back a level. When you look at who the two teams have played this year the Dogs has been considerably easier than ours. Their wins against 2 bottom 4 sides then a Roosters team with 11 players.

We desperately need to find some attack. At the moment its basically Api or nothing. Maybe kick to the 6'5 winger we debuted last week.

Not getting a howler from the Bunker would be nice too.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Toss of a coin.

If Api is out I’ll go with the Dogs.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Doggies by 8. Sadly it looks like back to regularly scheduled programming for the Tiggers.

 

[JamesRustle]

Surely the hard training dogs win this one.

 

[GongPanther]

Upset on the cards by 23-22.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Toss a coin with this one. Tigers in an upset I reckon

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

Dogs here, Kikau motm

 

[Someone2]

Tigers by 8

 

[Marshall_magic]

No Api, this could be ugly

 

[Wb1234]

Looks 13 to 15k

 

[Wb1234]

Ref saves the dogs from a bad error from kikau

 

[Red&BlackBear]

Kasey Badger - good luck to the team she decides to pick on and give the raw end of the 50/50 calls.

 

[Wb1234]

Taffe playing seven is a good change

 

[simmo05]

Kasey Badger - good luck to the team she decides to pick on and give the raw end of the 50/50 calls.

I think it just defaults to wests every week

 

[Wb1234]

Loving this dogs attack

 

[Wb1234]

Tigers ten missed tackles lol

 

[simmo05]

Tigers ten missed tackles lol

Pathetic

 

[dogslife]

Is there a way to watch the game with the ref's mic on mute?
