Pretty much a must-win game for us. Roosters, even without SKD, have a very strong lineup. Will be tough.

 

[lafai]

We need Tolman. But even with him I can't see us even getting remotely close

 

[Bulldog Force]

You're right. If Roosters turn up they should win by as many as they like.

 

[lafai]

Also have you heard the rumour SBW might come back in 2017

No idea what you're on about mate :lol:

I recon we could get a win this week, even though a Roosters win is the most likely result.

It will definitely take a fully committed effort from the whole Dogs team, and a bit of luck at a bare minimum.

But stranger things have happened.

Rona and Pritchard out

Rona and Pritchard out

Well we're gone! Our leading try scorer and Frank the Tank!

 

[the_flight_of_the_magpie]

Corey Thompson replaces Rona and

Lane replaces Frank and Fualalo comes on to the bench

 

[Bulldog Force]

Because we're underdogs (excuse the pun), I reckon we'll put in a good fight then the wheels will completely fall off in the 2nd half and we'll concede too many points.

 

[Fingerbang]

What's happened to Tolman? Can't see him on any injury lists.

 

[Bulldog Force]

Hammy, back next week (from Zero tackle).

 

[Dogs Of War]

I think all we are aiming for is to be consistent over the next few weeks and get those combo's working. Been a long time since we have been able to put the same sort of team on the field, and playing these big guns will really help us understand where as a team we are at, and the level we need to be at.

Rona and Pritchard out

Gonna be a long night

 

[lafai]

We ended the game the same way we started the game, with a pea heart. And don't none of you say we'll turn it around next week against the Broncos or the week after against Souths.

 

[Packy]

Perrett has really turned in to a liability. So too has Lafai. Sad to see but we need something better from them.

 

[lafai]

We won't drop them (btw I don't give a shit that my names is lafai, he's been terrible) because Des never drops his starters

 

[Timmah]

We didn't finish with a pea heart, we had tired blokes on their last legs because Des used the interchange poorly. Really proud of the effort but Perrett's let-in with that Jennings try was woeful and Lafai's defence and attack are just ordinary at the moment. Otherwise I think we can challenge. Just need to not concede 22 points in the first quarter of the contest.

Roosters wanted it more and we were shit, but I'm happy with your assessment too
