Game Day: Bulldogs V Manly [Finals Week 1, 2024]

[Jerry1]

Tom better put his big boy pants on or fark off, playing like a spud

He's injured - why play him - he's a liability today.

 

[eaglebuzz]

Swinging arm still?

You don't get penalised for a swinging arm if it doesn't hit anything.

 

[Scorpio]

I’m being serious. Manly need a lesson on Laying down. Every other team does it. Why don’t we ?

That's risky in finals matches when the refs put the whistle in the pocket.

 

[Jethro]

Nice knee in the bac for Bully from Creighton after Bully scored the try.

 

[The Royal Soup]

terrible terrible half of football

zero line speed

zero go forward

playing in slow motion

played the whole half inside out own 50

getting dominated and owned in every tackle

 

[bob dylan]

So if Tom is 100% this week and we win what % will he be next week.

Dogs have turned up to play today
We are not at our best but still in there
signs are there
Still think dogs go in favourites for this half but you never know in sport

 

[skull61]

More to the point where was the backing up and following Guaca, no number 7, 4, or 1 in support.

Garrick was there but because he stumbled he couldn’t get the pass away

 

[joeboy]

Well we are still in it, we are doing some things well but we have to improve by a lot to stay in this game.

Can’t believe they didn’t take that bully try away, Klein don’t need much to deny us and I thought there may have been a touch there

We need to play some footy and do things with much more intent, very passive for mine. Still the score line flatters us and the game is there to be won

 

[effnic]

Get Tom off the field ffs. Liability out there.

 

[Cochrane]

More to the point where was the backing up and following Guaca, no number 7, 4, or 1 in support.

Garrick was next to him in open space?

 

[Saabnaldo]

Lehi is a different breed, has been bullied all game but he doesn’t shy away at all. Keep giving him the ball

 

[HoldenV8]

So if you tried to shoot someone but missed its ok?

In the NRL apparently.....yes.

 

[Eagle 1]

Tom, love his determination to play on, but not getting his usual involvement. See how he goes early in 2nd half.

 

[Merdy33]

So Bulldogs have dominated on the field and statistically. And we’re only down by 4.
Get some momentum, a bit more possession and we can win.
I don’t think some individuals have been as bad as some here are saying. Our opportunities have just been limited by the Bulldogs who have been very good.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

So if you tried to shoot someone but missed its ok?

If it happens in an NRL game, apparently the answer is yes.

We were not very good at all for that first half, but we are still well and truly in this. Fingers crossed we get the effort out of the boys to run away with this in the second half.

Gotta love Lehi never backing away, and big ups to Bully for his involvement as well. We need more of that from everybody, please.

 

[Ashton Davis]

Scoring a try first early in the 2nd half and converting it will be huge. Up until we pumped them, the Bulldogs were conceding less than 18 per game

 

[killerspud]

Tom getting strapped up 🤦‍♂️ give him another shot why not haha I mean he might as well numb it so he can run hard and take some hits.

 

[davohan123]

Get Tom off the field ffs. Liability out there.

Sadly yes
If he was 100% fit and Saab in today I think we get them the dogs
Just missing that class to finish things off

 

[JBW]

As rocks and diamonds as he can be, I think we miss Saab. That pure speed is lacking out wide. Koula doesn't get enough space to stride out.
