    Dogs next week

    The Bulldogs get away with more offside play than any other team in the competition. If the referees decide to make the 10 metre rule a priority next week for both teams (not just for Manly like they did yesterday ) then we'll win. If not it will be a long night. Toovey said that Manly were...

    How disappointing

    The Taylor and Hurrell tries were really soft . Horo/Lawrence couldn't stop Taylor (just outmuscled) and Taufua, Horo and Kite missed Hurrell (poor efforts with fatigue a factor) . Horo also swallowed an Ennis dummy earlier this year to concede a try. Horo had an excellent game in attack and has...

    NSW Blues Team SOO 1

    I was surprised Blake Ferguson was selected. His hit-ups are ordinary and he is kick happy when in the clear . He's more likely to make an error to lose a game than win it with some brilliance.

    Snake a few weeks off ;2V

    He'll be back for the Bulldogs match . Toovey versus Hasler is 2 -all . Manly's attack is mis-firing without B. Stewart.

    The BulLOLdogs #LOLBULLDOGS Mega Thread

    The Dragons were absolutely shafted by the referees last Friday . The Bulldogs were slowing down the ruck to speeds you rarely see without being pinged. Long shots on the coverage showed blatant offside play ignored by the officials. Pritchard ran a decoy and initiated contact with a defender...

    Tim Grant

    There were whispers of Michael Weyman to Manly before the June 30 deadline. He is rated by some of the coaching staff and almost always seems to play well against Manly . He would certainly add some thrust and partially offset the loss of King and Galuvao. Officially the interest is from...

    In the long term this use of the bench will kill us

    I think Tooves is old school and finds using the interchange bench a pain. Do you bring on someone just for the sake of it and risk changing the momentum of the game for the worse ? I think it would be one of the hardest aspects of being an NRL coach. He would have hated to be inter- changed...

    Lack of pace

    Taufua is certainly a devastating runner who I think is under-utilised since Glenn Stewart returned . He's also one of the slower wingers in the NRL and he doesn't link particularly well with support when he's in the clear. I remember some commentators waxing lyrical about his speed after he...

    How to beat the roosters

    Direct a lot of the attack at Jake Friend (and Daniel Mortimer when he comes on). Even though their discipline has seemingly improved over the past month , Friend and JWH are more than capable of giving away match changing penalties . SKD can sometimes be a liability in defence , and their...

    2013 Rumoured and confirmed signings.

    I understood that he was signing with the Dogs as long as he wasn't selected for the Wallabies. Surprise , surprise , he gets selected for the Wallabies. Now it's unclear whether he'll be with the Dogs next year.

    2013 Rumoured and confirmed signings.

    Pritchard has re-signed with the Dogs for 1.6 million over 3 years. This is excessive for a player who tends to go missing in big matches , has ordinary hands and is not particularly durable .

    Side named for this weekend

    I like the Symonds/Taufua combo. They only played half a match against Newcastle but combined well to score a late try. Symonds is a very sound defender , a very strong runner, and has some ball skills. Positionally he was sound (unlike when Whare played centre against the Raiders last year)...

    Souths Game

    Manly's game plan came straight from the BlueTongue Stadium clash last year when Lyon gave Matt King a bath. This time it was the Lyon/Wolfman combo against Goodwin/Merritt. Merritt's tendency to run infield was there to see and he was lucky to knock down a pass to Wolf to stop a certain try. A...

    RE: The BulLOLdogs #LOLBULLDOGS Thread Does this mean that a Bulldogs player is a chance for the golden "boot" award this year ?

    Symonds a chip off old Menzies' block

    Symonds could be anything. The thing that stands out about him is his natural football instinct. I was really impressed with the way he steadied himself before he grounded an awkwardly bouncing bomb against the Tigers at BlueTongue Stadium. He made a difficult grounding in the wet look simple .

    The Good, the Bad and the Ugly report - Rd 5

    I have to agree with your analysis. You also highlight the only real weakness of the team which is the inability to cover fullback and wing if an injury occurs mid-match ( At least Tom Symonds can cover centre - his positional play in defence against Newcastle was top notch,albeit against a...

    Is Dave Warwick a better recruitment officer?

    Everything you say is correct. Des was even more angry than Todd about this. Greenberg made an announcement on 31/10/12 about welcoming Dave Warwick to the Bulldogs.

    The only spear tackle I can recall that was worse was by Tuqiri on McCaw in a 2006 Tri-Nations match . He got 11 weeks . If you google it you can see what I mean.
