This is the same team that beat us earlier except for a few marquee players.

Mason and O'Meley are back - SBW and Tonga may be back too. Their season probably depends on this match - why not add them if there is even the tiniest bit of confidence that they will play?

Last time the Dogs were 'down and out' was Round 1 last year - what happened then?

Time and time again, with their backs to the wall, these bastards pull out an extar gear or two to beat us.

Be very, very wary of them.

Thankyou, well said.

Thanks mate.

I was nervous for the Warriors match for two reasons - (1) Shayne Hayne was the ref; and (2) The Warriors' season was on the line.

However, the degree of trepidation that I am going through regarding Friday's match is twice as bad.

They always seem to lift against us.

HOWEVER, I am by no means saying we're done and dusted. No siree Bob. Not by a long shot.

It will be in front of a passionate and vocal home crowd this time - on our turf.

Johnny Morris is back to his best, Timmy had a good, patient game on Saturday, proving he's back to his best, we have enough talent out wide to destroy anyone on our day, and our bench is probably one of the best there are overall.

Not to mention our strong second row and great starting pack.

I believe we can win. I believe we will win.

But I acknowledge the degree of difficulty in doing so.

I still remember last years game against a PL dragons side in which everyone was saying how much we'd win by, dragons ended up giving it to us.

but in saying that we are a different team this year than last, but we certainly cant take the dogs lightly.

Pressure is all on you guys though... Lose to the Bulldogs and just watch the Telegraph, Hadley, Gould etc. write you off that instant...

who cares what they field
Im kinda dissapointed they dont have their full strength side
Having said that, no one (inc. some parra fans ;-) ) gave us any sympathy or understanding over the last 3 years due to our crappy injury toll.

Im expecting us to pounce and pounce hard

we're one game under our belt from the the bye and a few games from finals football. Now is the time to be striking and getting into peak form.

Though wether we win by 1 or 50 in this game, it will be sweet :D


I have a feeling praise the lord eels by 26

I'm hoping for a dry game where we can spread the ball. their forward pack is still almost at full strength and a wet game will nullify most of our advantage in the backs.

Gould wouldn't, but the others have already written us off, so it wouldn't matter win or lose...

Long range forecast is for dry and chilly on Friday night

We will flog them. If we can't then we will never get on top of them psychologically. Does the club have a psychaitrist in the house? We need to bury the doggies hoodoo once & for all
