The closer it gets, the more confident I'm feeling about a sellout. This will be good

Agreed... Minus the members and coporates i think you will find the stadium holds 35,000ish if i'm not mistaken. So 30000 Bulldogs fans should not be a problem, a couple of Broncos and neutrals... Hopefully all the members go and coporates etc.

[Timmah]

No offence to Koups but Roberts was scintillating last week and deserved it more IMO. McIlwain should consider himself quite unlucky too.

SBW at lock? :?

 

[salivor]

Wow 1 rep forward on the bench.

Wow 1 rep forward on the bench.

14. Brad Thorn
15. Ben Hannant
16. Corey Parker
17. Casey McGuire

LOL... not one of those 4 would make the Bulldogs top 25 let alone 17 mate.

Bring On Friday Night, Maybe the best team win!
Go You Bulldogs!

 

[lockyno1]

Thorn would on the bench.

 

[ouwet]

Thorn would on the bench.

You reckon, why would we put thorn who's close to the end of his career in front of an up and coming player? Anyone who crosses over to Rah Rah IMHO can get f**ked as well.

Do you really feel the need to compete with Timmah in the talking rubbish stakes?

All 4 would be in your top 25 and Parker and Thorn would easily be in the top 17. Parker has played SOO and been just about our form forward of the year behind Civoniceva while Thorn has played for State and Country and has been just about our form player of the last 6 weeks, he's been a big reason behind our recent resurgence, you guys do know what form is right? Oh that's right you haven't been in it the last month so maybe not.

 

[lockyno1]

Apart from the Yawnion dig. Why wouldn't you put thorn in as he gives superb impact off the bench and would be a definate. Similar to your pack, quite a few would get into our side.

Grimaldi was making your top 17 so Doggies don't mind putting aging forwards ahead of younger blokes.

 

[salivor]

Oh and the 1 rep on the bench comment was actually a joke referring to Tim commenting several times about how the Bulldogs would have 3 rep forwards on the bench. So lebaneseforces, either you're too slow or too lazy to have read the thread, either way you jumped the gun.

LOL we weren't the one's St george hammered 2 weeks ago... YES great form!!! Grimaldi was and would of been in the 17 if he was injured because his a workaholic! His what every team needs, when thorn has the stats of Grimaldi comeback to me. We have Mason, Asotasi, Sonny Bill, Myles, O'Meley & Armit, don't need Thorn .

Please Corey Parker LOL has there been a worse player in the NRL?

Thanks for that jerry Seinfield... your a funny guy:shock:

Thanks for trying but clearly you're out of your depth or maybe I'm being harsh and you don't watch much Rugby League. If you have a scroll down on the main page on the lower half there are some other sport forums you may want to try, may be more your thing.

Humour helps in life, unfortunately for you cluelessness will only get you a padded room.

 

[Timmah]

Wow Jeremy, he named a different side to what I predicted.

Crucify me!

For the record, two of those three rep forwards were named in the starting lineup ;-)
