NRL Round Discussion NRL Round 5 2025 Discussion

[Tonbridge(aka Swanley)]

We are 4th... unbelievable considering the round 1 debacle.

Judge me by round 6 is looking safe this year.

 

[Boats n Hoes]

Bulldogs attack aint much chop but their defence is something else.

They work their ass off with their line speed and up and back, and move up both sides of the ruck and present a flat line which they maintain the whole game, so they must be incredibly well conditioned.

Gonna have to come up with something special to break that down

Kick to Manu...

They have no individual superstars but collectively play as one and for each other. That’s their secret to success. And they embrace the underdog tag and use it as fuel to prove the haters wrong. Fluke is harsh but they are beatable in my books.

I like the way they play defence and scrappy

Like a pack of dogs

Excuse the pun

Kick to Laban

Fixed

 

[Worried2Death]

Dogs are the real deal!

Real deal or kissed on the dick, time will tell who's take is weirder

 

[CWC]

They’re talking about dogs premiership already

Far too early to talk about premierships for the Dogs.

Can't argue with their defence though.

Comp is wide open this year

 

[Canonball]

Dogs have been kissed on the dick this season. I'm not sure what it is but even at 5-0, I'm still not convinced

Yeah, neither - they have enthusiasm, and a spine of Mahony, tracey, sexton and hayward (burton)...

Really weird seeing the Panthers struggling. The loss of players starting to bite & comm back being vibe less for their games is not helping.

Storm, Broncos, Doggies clear favourites.

Might be me - but the the neutral games haven't been that entertaining.

I tend to think that there is really only one contender: storm are just miles ahead of everyone at this stage. The gap between the rest of the teams seems small and any team can beat any other team on their day, as has been proven in the first 5 rounds of the comp.

Yeah Storm are looking heads and shoulders above the rest at the minute, but in the last 11 years the best team across the comp (Minor Prems) have only gone on to win the grand final 5 times, so even tho they might be the best team this year anything can happen come finals.

Hope were in the mix come September!
