Do you think the dogs were tanking?

[High Shot]

I predicted the Dogs would Tank against the raiders to make it difficult for us to make the 8. Thinking Hasler would rather play Raiders , Knights or Titans than us. Anyways I guess it's our own fault that we are in this position.

 

[gronkathon]

Nope.

Watch their games against the Tigers & Broncos. They have been off for large patches of both games.

Difference is Raiders showed the hunger, desire and commitment to take the game out of their hands in that period

Well since the the top 4 teams dont play the bottom 4 teams, you must be assuming the Tigers will make it deep into the finals and meet the Bulldogs along the way? :crazy::crazy::crazy:

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Does anyone really think that any team would want to avoid us so badly, FFS?

We have played like rubbish all year.

We are primed to finish 9th anyway.

 

[Clifferd]

Lol we have been horribly inconsistent, had see-saw form all year.

But that Bulldogs performance last week showed we could make an impact on the finals, not to mention our extra 10 gears we seem to find come finals time.

However finishing 8th we would most likely play Rabbits at ANZ or Cows at Dairy Farmers. Either of those games I wouldn't be confident at all

 

[Ron's_Mate]

It's because the Bulldogs were rooted and emotionally drained after being smashed about by the Tigers last week.

 

[Vic Mackey]

LOL

Why would any team want to avoid us?!?

The dogs had a few big games against decent sides te last few weeks. Last night it was evident they weren't up for a game and didn't care less about losing. I think hasler gave them a light week at training and little input into a gameplan last night.

They didn't lose to get rid of the tigers, but I don't think hasler will be too upset that they copped a loss.

 

[Marshall_magic]

It's round 24 and we still haven't got our shit together, who the hell wouldn't want to play us?

 

[natheel]

Nope I just think since that knights v dogs match the dogs have been found out. If you hold pressure on them for long enough they will crumble.

Even we were over them at one stage in the game and frustrating them in defence but we couldn't keep it up.

If you give the dogs an inch they will take a mile

The trail of money doesn't lie
Ryan Tandy and Johnny Elias probably recouped their losses from when the Cowboys never took the 2
Not to mention covered the expenses for their silks

You've taken a few too many high shots. Ridiculous suggestion.

Yeah I have, but just putting it out there. Considering all the musical chairs this year, I don't really expect too much for the remaining 2 rounds but will be there cheering them on.

 

[BuffaloRules]

Nah, no tanking...

The Dogs are just not that good...

 

[benched tiger]

They struggled to beat us and only did so with the help of the 1/2 wit in the video ref box,Canberra were focussed and won the match fair and square.

 

[Marshall_magic]

So the Dogs are afraid of us?

 

[High Shot]

Point taken, f...ing disgraceful. The joint needs a clean out.

 

[Pistol_Pete]

I think the dogs tanked to make it look like sheens has a bit of a clue

Let's face it if Sheens has a job, it's one less team to truly worry about winning the comp

9th place will have the supercoach apologists out in force blaming circumstances beyond the control of the great man
