The Bulldogs don't deserve to be premiership favourites...

Were they ever favourites when Kevin Moore took them to within a whisker of the minor premiership in 2009?

Doesn't matter anyway it's a week to week proposition. If manly melbourne brisbane win this week and canterbury lose the odds will go back to normal.

The Bulldogs seem to be favourites as everyone has gone Des the man Hassler mad. Rating him as the best coach ever etc. .. and with Barba the man of the moment, it's no wonder the Dogs are favourites.

I personally think that the Storm should be favourites. They realistically have the best coach in the comp (sorry Des) who along with his top 3 players turns the other bunch of virually unknowns into champions every year. They are so confident and believe in themselves and the results show every week. Mind you - I don't support them.

Rabbitohs... well we're used to losing so it's hard to lift and believe that we could actually have a crack at the big one. Hope so anyway.

$ouff$ will win.
They are the 2012 version of the 2010 Dragons.
It will take something special to beat them given all the help they are getting.

Look guys, whether you hate us or rate us there's no denying that we're a young team and we're still learning. We need big game experience which is what we've been getting, we're still a long way off beating the top teams like Manly and Melbourne.

We have a lot of room for improvement which is something that is very positive. We just have to go out there and give it our best week to week and see what happens. We have to take it one week at a time and see where it takes us.

I know you're attempting tongue in cheek but that's the dumbest thing I've ever read.

Still a long way to go before we can claim the mantle, the cowboys game definitely put us in the right direction on our way to becoming premiership favourites.

We're still a young team, with big games like the Cowboys we're gang the experience we need. Personally I define premiership favourites as the team thats "been there and done it", teams like Melbourne, Brisbane, Cowboys and the Knights.

This week we play the Knights who are in red hot form, they (along with souths) are definitely playing the best football in the competition and with a coach like Bennett who has "been there and done it" they are in line as premiership favourites now too.

This week we take on the premiership favourites, it will be tough but a real learning curve.

How can it be dumb when it's tongue in cheek ? :roll:

His press conferences are epic, he literally mumbles his way through the whole thing uttering cliche's and downplaying everything.

He's right though, we're still a young side with plenty to learn. :cool:
