Game thread: Round 19 v St George-Illawarra

[bigdogsgottaeat]

I believe the only reason he actually gets selected is due to his family connections.

In what could be a very close game against quality opposition, his stupidity could lose us the match.

Mitsubishi Electric Bulldog Brent Sherwin has been named at halfback for this Friday's clash at OKI Jubilee Stadium against the Dragons despite a foot injury that kept him out last weekend.

Sonny Bill Williams has been named on the bench after some damaging performances in the back row in recent weeks while young Jarrad Hickey returns from his one-match suspension, forcing Brad Morrin into Premier League.

Chris Armit is still battling a shoulder injury sustained in the Bulldogs win over the Wests Tigers.

Coach Steve Folkes has named the following side to take on the Dragons this Friday, 7:30pm at OKI Jubilee Stadium:

1. Luke Patten
2. Hazem El Masri
3. Andrew Emelio

[Jackal Dog]

Interesting to see how Millard goes against his future club, I rate the guy a lot. This is shaping up to be a beauty, I might just head down to Oki for this one....

[drake]

Well played to the Dogs, forward pack were too dominant.

 

[Jackal Dog]

Great game! In the end I think the Dogs handled the conditions better and that played a large part in getting us home.

Props to the crowd too, besides a few "friendly taunts" there was nothing major and the cops kept as low a profile they could as well.
