Gameday Bulldogs vs Warriors - [Round 18, 2024]

[Kav1]

Warriors by 6.

Curran to tear us up, but the young fellas get it done.

You have your wish Frank - old tired legs is out.

 

[run_it_str8_again]

Barney, Addin, and Walker to score today. Our middles are due.

Genuinely excited for the first time about a game for a few weeks.

We are the Warriors %

I’ve seen that. I clearly stated my analysis prior, and I’m not about to rejoice cos a bloke got pulled out injured. But I will be happy for some young guns to get a run.

As per my previous statements, it’s shit man management from the club.

If Webby gets the bench right I think we have a genuine chance.

I think the Dogs are performing at their best and we have been far below ours for a while.

 

[Kav1]

I'm going to get it out early.

I think the Dogs are pretenders. Done jack shit in a soft comp and are there for the taking today.

Should be a tight game but don't discount a Wahs 8+

What do you mean by "soft comp"? I think the comp has been extremely close this year (but do you think the standards have slipped?). The resurgence of South Sydney and the Titans is a case in point.

Bit spooked after the last road game that they won't try away from Mt smart, but if they show up, Warriors by 4. I don't mind Chris butler as much as some of those crims, but he's not an authoritarian ref, dogs will be trying it on. every warriors try to be sent to the bunker as no try.

 

[Possum11]

Warriors should beat bulldogs, give the bulldogs a year or two they will be contenders for title.
Warriors 12-

Know that any error we make will be "punished" by a verbal insult from Mahoney. I wish the NRL came down hard on these tactics as they are a blight on the game.

A true reflection of the ladder, removing Byes and focusing on Wins, Draws & Losses, would see the Bulldogs remaining in 6th (with a game in hand) & us in 10th with 1 point separating the sides.

If our forwards can get ascendancy we should get enough opportunities to ice the game but if the Bulldogs get parity in the middle then their unbeaten record at home this year could survive another week.
Very interested to see any lineup changes at 4pm including if the Bulldogs bring the 191cm & 104kg Skelton in to match up against Montoya

 

[Woofa]

Anyone know a spot in Nadi or Denerau Island where they play the NRL?
I don't wanna faf around too much as I want to see the Mighty NZ Warriors smash these pretenders.

Really hoping Leka takes one of the bench spots and he smashes a few Dogs over.

Wahs by 4

I was there a month back, went to Golf Club.. nada.. raced into Port and watched at Cardo's.. they typically have it, prob no sound unless you beg.

Mr Cleary's Former Apprentice Who No-one Raved About to beat Mr Cleary's Former Apprentice Who Everyone Raved About by 6.
That is, Warriors by 6. Or maybe 8.
Kind of sad that when you read that Tohu's going to be out you're "Meh."...

He and SJ can go into the coaches box and watch with Webby.

Or if they’re not travelling with the team find a bar and enjoy the game like the rest of us

Season starts or ends today

Warriors +8

Even if he sticks to form and picks our weirdest bench again I'd love for Barney to say "no excuses. Destroy!!!!!!"

Is he any relation to the Will Skelton who was a massive unit playing lock for Australia a while back?

I agree but we seriously need to be above that rubbish. Its teasing by grown men towards other grown men where you are legally able to violently collide with him for 80min. An exhausted big mouth will only be sucking in oxygen. Work him. Run every set through the middle and aim every run at him.

Cousins according to Wikipedia

 

[Dantheman]

I hope Leka has a great game if he plays, some of the forum might explode if not .

Cousins according to Wikipedia

Will was over hyped by rugby Australia and the media and he was young and on debut got manhandled and smashed by the All Blacks of the time. He never recovered until he went overseas and grew into his frame and immensity. Did him wonders. Be interesting as you say to see his cuzzy. Grubber behind him all day

 

[Canonball]

we should roll them through the middle and I think with a little more space we'll see egan running more effectively, then freeing up the edges ... I think we'll win by a similar margin as we did last week

Fiji airways baby, flights to LA with a stop over in Fiji for a few nights for $1300 per person haha.

Cheers for the heads up I'll try to get a photo of me with the remote later on

Don't forget to bubble wrap it just in case (the remote I mean)
