Pick Your Team Bulldogs v Warriors - [Round 18, 2024]

[FormerlyJamesW]

We made a mistake letting Curran go,

He wanted to go. Wanted to get back to the family and all that.

Gotta respect it though, he had a fantastic year, last year.

 

[run_it_str8_again]

Would you object to Ford being instructed to smash his teeth in if the game's decided with 5 to go? He'd be a hero to the rest of the league, and Jacko's on his way out anyway apparently, what a way to go.

Nah that's a stupid suggestion, I'm above that kind of behaviour.

Best way to deal with a grub like him is to pile on the points. Next best is to get him marched and score off the ensuing penalty. Third is to tackle him legally and knock the stuffing out of his ribcage so he can't get wind in his big mouth. Finally is if we have to.....

Get Tohu to knock his teeth out so Tohu gets marched. Its our cheapest option

Judging from last night's game, Walker seems like the one who'd be most likely to give him a crack. Dog with a bone after that TMM forearm to the head.

 

[Canonball]

Dogs have not lost at home all season, quite a record, so it will be tough... but if we bring that forwards effort again we can do it. Time surely for Taine in the team tho? He's been so good in cup and Charnze has been off. I'd drop montoya too, but yeah that would been moving RTS again so I don't think that will happen... not really sure about the bench

Man I can't see us beating the Bulldogs but we can hope right?

 

[FormerlyJamesW]

With CNK going through a little patch, do you give him some time and throw RTS into FB?

Just to work out the confidence gremlins, not permanently..

they're not as good as you think they are. If we can't beat them, we really aren't going to amount to much. Even if we make finals.

I would prefer Taine as he gives us a third kicking option and more x factor on attack.

Fair point. Plus he's younger, so if we're looking at subbing to backups it would make sense to give him more time.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

To get Taine into the team I’d consider shifting CNK to centre, although I’ve never been a big fan of him there. RTS out of the 17.

 

[Ever Hopeful]

I reckon Webby has been playing him on the wrong side. Looks much better on the left

& injury free. Last night he looked like the player we thought we were getting.

So 13v12 for 10mins or worse, a send off ? That makes no sense….

Who have the Dogs played at home? Good teams or any top 4 teams?

Titans, roosters, knights, tigers, dragons, eels, sharks.

 

[tyrael]

) Laban if he plays. Won't have the experience to walk away

You obviously have not caught up with NSW Cup action. Need to do more research.

 

[tyrael]

I will actually riot if RTS gets picked over TT at Fullback. Actually lose faith in AW.

TT has been carving up and has form and has minutes in the bank.

 

[Wahs_Ultras]

Titans, roosters, knights, tigers, dragons, eels, sharks.

They’re basically a carbon copy of us last year. Won the games that they should, and struggle to beat better teams. I’ll give them the win against the roosters earlier in the year (that was a class performance), but the sharks should have won on Friday.

The sense is that there will be no more Mahoney mouth niggling our boys. Ok send Marata at him followed by Addin followed by Barney followed by Marata again followed by Addin again all in the same set. If he's still got teeth after making every one of those tackles he can stay and keep mouthing off just like Ennis. Comprende?

 

[Falcon]

I’m suprised more posters haven’t offered up RTS to the Wing in place of Montoya. I think the challenge this season is RTS hasn’t been put into gaps from his inside men and is crowded as soon as he takes a pass.
His running meters are still top draw.
His returns from kicks would be very similar to his returns from FB if on the Wing which we remember so fondly.
MGT really is ripping it up in NSW Cup and deserves a spot in first grade.

I’d like to see Bunty come in to the first team this week in place of Ford as he offers size and high efficiency in tackling.

Having said that, I’m expecting no changes.

[Wrighty]

RTS draws defenders because he is RTS and as such there is room and space for others to create.
