Round 1 Vs Bulldogs

[GC Dragon]

Sloan overweight??

There's no chance he will keep that size once he gets match fit

lol that’s what I was thinking, kid can’t catch a break, everyone on at him to bulk up and then gets called overweight.

Honestly.

Yes, he has earnt the ire of some, including me at times, for his defensives and physical deficiencies but he has taken about it with the right attitude. He wants to improve. When Sloan takes to the field he does it with passion and what seems to be a love of the club. Let's not forget his tough upbringing. Many others in his situation would have given up, jumped ship, whatever.

I'm not 100% sure I can find a place for him in the 17 right now. I'd have to give that more thought, but he will get his chance from Flanno and I feel he will prove a lot of doubters wrong. He had to bulk up. There was no other option.

 

[The Word]

Agree . Key word there is fit . Of the other wingers , Lawson is ineligible , CT recovering from a torn hamstring , Sloan looks overweight and is underdone with a bad foot , and Mika is done as a first grader .

Also Lawson is on a supplementary contract which means he can play from round 1. Not saying he will be picked, probably will be given some Cup games to acclimatise. But he’s not ineligible.

Yeah my comment was agreeing with Denis Preston who was disagreeing with someone else’s overweight comment.

oh dear.......seems like someone doesn't get it. He's fit. He's just put on muscle over the off season. Big difference.

Lawson will be a regular first grade winger with us very quickly. And if he isn't, he will have a contract with another club for 2026 in the blink of an eye.

Agree I reckon 3 or 4 weeks to show how good he is in Cup then he’ll take off.

I just want to beat these pricks, even if it's by 1. There are so many times these merkins have knocked us off at home and it f**king shits me to tears. The Lance Thompson memorial game is the one that stings the most.
Just.
Beat.
These.
merkins.
No matter what.

That is just unfair

What if your mum was a prostitute, your dad was a drug addict, and your brothers were dealers and car thieves?

You'd be a Bulldogs fan also!

I'm still getting over the 1967 final! Also the semi final at Kogarah when they threw a forward pass the length of a cricket pitch and it was all deem fine- We lost! ...Too many to mention

I just hope that Coach Flanagan instructs his troops to make sure Crighton finishes the game feeling very sick and sorry for himself and make sure he regrets poking his nose into the wrong things........so to speak.

I heard that Kyle is going to wear a clown nose for this game
