PUT YOUR HIGHRIZE ON THE DOGGIES MOFFO

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

The Dogs will bounce back. The Titans just suck. Not much else can be said.

 

[JamesRustle]

Titans applying to the NRL for dispensation to wear helmets and fibreglass chest guards against the dirty dogs.

Teams front up after getting 50'd... don't they?? Titans to put in a surprise performance on what should be a goat track by Sunday's first game. Titans 32-28 on the scoreboard and will also have 1 less player in the bin than the dogs.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Blud could eat a watermelon through a tennis racket

 

[Fangs]

Dogs still have PTSD from Suncorp last week.

Titans in an upset by 8.

 

[JamesRustle]

Dogs and Titans off a flogging, although the Titans did get 50'd, so I think they rebound better.

Chips all in on the Titans +12.5 in the lowest scoring match of the round.

 

[Someone2]

Titans by 4

 

[RedVDave]

Dogs have never won a magic round game I believe this is the first time they're playing an opponent that isn't the Raiders or Knights. I can't see them losing to the Titans who are god awful.

 

[Warrimoo3]

The Titans play good football for about 25 minutes, get to a lead then stop playing football to protect said lead. Des looks pretty exasperated in his pressers. Their defence hasn’t improved much under Des which is surprising.

Their Bulldogs should return to the winners’ list easily here. Bulldogs by 18 .

 

[This Year?]

That's Weaver's arvo done.

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

amazing jersey selection

 

[skeepe]

f**king Kayo freezing every 3 minutes.

 

[Wb1234]

Nice catch

 

[mozza91]

Weaver so badly KO’d his sideburns came off.

 

[Wb1234]

Nice try

 

[This Year?]

The bunker wanted to give that.

 

[Bazal]

Based on the clear footage we're unable to see because apparently NRL referees are blind, we'll get it right by luck because the equally useless ref sent it up no try

 

[Tweed Titan]

Just getting absolutely rawdogged from the first defensive set. Our middle are softer than kleenex

 

[Bazal]

Lol Reg has had sideline rhinoplasty
