First Grade V Doggies

[antonius]

Woo up a tick here people... Since when is Kidley out? Last I heard, he had a cork and was a near definite starter.

Exactly, I've heard nothing about any of them being definately out.

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Good the less chopping and changing the happier Mr Sir Knight82 shall be

 

[Roy]

i dont think we can realy say those injuries we have had where preventable accidental knees to newton an a cork. No one can realy do much about that, it was all the strains an the pulled mucsles that where the worry.

 

[Jobdog]

No one said that Kidley was definitely out. TJS said that Mullo was training with the first grade side. Nothing more, nothing less. Just a precaution while Kurt was icing his hamstring I'd say.

 

[Johns Magic]

Everyone's mentioned that it is the forwards who will need to perform in this match, naming the likes of Smith, Simpson, Buderus and Perry.

But I want to give a plug an unsung hero of the side: Dan Tolar.

The Bulldogs' power off the bench is formidable, O'Meley, Myles, Maitua. They will continue the onslaught for the entire 80 minutes, and are not in the starting side for exactly that reason. We need our bench players to stand up and be counted if we are to win this one. We can't take a step back. We can't let them get on top of us.

This is Tolar's match. His pure aggression, discipline and fire in the belly is exactly what is required to get through the tough middle stages of the clash. He and Woolough will have a big job to do on Friday night. In his career so far he has been outstanding for the side. This is where he needs to take his game to another level.

 

[Roy]

do you think he is capable of that though

Tighe in, Quinn out. Courtesy of NRL on Fox

 

[Roy]

what was the result of the hearing, was he given the two games or just one

 

[thuganomics]

He was found guilty - so I assume 2 weeks.

 

[Jobdog]

Two matches. I think that its a disgrace.

 

[Johns Magic]

do you think he is capable of that though

I definitely think he has the potential. He will never be a rep-standard player like those on the Bulldogs' bench, but he has the fight in him. He won't dominate, that's not his style. But I think he can contain them.

 

[RABK]

Perhaps Quinn been suspended is a disgrace but if it's the only way that Tighe is able to get a jersey then i'm happy with that.

Exactly. Let's hope Tighe blitzes them and demands a spot in two weeks' time.

He was so dangerous for us at the backend of last season. Our attacking potency in the outside backs revolved around him and Thaiday.

Why he wasn't in the side for Round 1 is a mystery that only Michael Hagan can answer.

I hope Tighe isnt playing Wing, if he is Utai or El Mas will have a field day IMO.

He is like Brent Tate out on the wing, bad positional play from memory.

Btw Jobdog, when did NRL on Fox say he was in? I didnt hear that.

I'd prefer to see Tighe at centre too, but are you saying you would prefer Carmont to have to mark Utai in defence?

2. Carney
3. Gidley
4. Tighe
5. Cooper

That should've been our backline for this week.

 

[thuganomics]

I didn't hear that Tighe was being put in either, I only heard that Quinn was outed for 2 weeks.

 

[Jono078]

Not sure, but all I can remember is Tighe being awful on the wing, positional play i mean.

 

[chinorocks]

I watched it to, didn't hear Tighe's name mentioned...

 

[Jobdog]

Nah they didnt say that, but I took it from TJS when he said Tighe was training with the squad during the week.
