Bring on the Bulldogs! Wherever that may be.

[ManEagle]

I don’t think there is much to be nervous about, Manly will likely do the Dogs again wherever it is. Depends which Manly team turns up after consecutive wins

That another issue altogether, which manly team turns up after hopefully back to back up tempo solid fwd performances.
Back to the dogs, yes I know they lost both games in the fwds, but have some strike power coming back and critter will be better for the run.
I'm just beware of the wounded dog.

They will be pretty much full strength and will want to make a statement like Manly did after the Tigers loss. Still not confident though after last nights extremely disappointing loss, if Manly continue with a win and no injuries today they might go on a run in finals. But as you know they are inconsistent

I don't travel well like many Manly supporters so if we do lose today could someone tell me how to travel south from the spit bridge to the stadium? Didn't even know there was a south after the spit bridge.

Do I need a passport or a visa?

Accor Stadium is a ****house venue to travel to, I live on the Northern Beaches too. Multiple changeovers to get on the Olympic line they should host it at Allianz much better travel and stadium

Yeah but Lodge will be better for two hit outs as well. He didn't play very long to get his 120 metres and none of those players coming back are front rowers. Cowboys tore through the middle just like the Manly middles did last night which meant Preston and Kikau were moving laterally in and out all night to help defend (even just to hold spacing of the line if not needed to effect a tackle) and got gassed badly. That's why Kikau was non existent last week and Luki looked like a superstar (which he is very close to, couple of season ending injuries have punctuated his career) last night, and gaps showed up in both their last games inside, through, and outside those back row defensive corridors.

Ciraldo is a smart coach but I can't see him derailing all the defensive structure he's spent two years developing and been rewarded with an unheralded finals appearance with, by getting the team to adopt, with tweaking too much.

But it's Rugby League. I'll be sweating on the referee's announcement Tuesday more than the team list.

Pretty good analysis I reckon TEE...

My point is that we caught the dogs out on the edges for our tries and having Criggton back instead of Kiraz in the centres will make that a much harder task...

The Cows simply wore the dogs down and then steamrolled them... but it sure as sh*t helped that the dogs did not have Burton's kicking game during the arm wrestle stage and had to rely on that muppet Hutchison whose kicking game was crap, he added zero value to their attacking structure and he made a sh*tload of errors (which is why Ciraldo hooked him at halftime)...

If we steamroll them in the moddle again then we can definitely win but I reckon it will be a lot harder this time round...

Update: Kikau charged but will play

The Cows simply dominated up the middle
Burton could not kick his way out if he was playing

They wont win another game this season

Well played but that day ranks a distant 3rd on the 'days Dogs did us dirty' tier list, behind '95 GF and the day you poached Des.

I understand there’s some bad blood,that’s what makes footy great. As you can see I’m not the one throwing stones in this thread, I’m not confident next week if Manly are good enough to beat us again and go onto the final then fair play and I wish them all the best..

With the afl on as well next weekend and if the game is on Saturday surely they will run the event buses because of both events!!

Nothing worth seeing over there!

Follow the game on here.

Just sayin’

Dogs by 30
Even turbo won’t save us
This mob is so putrid to watch
Just look how we played today

You obviously have not watched many dogs games this year @BOZO... they have won plenty of games where they were losing the arm wrestle but Burton kept kicking into the opponents 20m area from his own 20m area...

Dogs may be done but Burton makes a massive difference to their side...

...after today I am not convinced next week matters anyways...

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Just delaying the inevitable
Manly may beat the dogs next but that will be it today showed they won’t get the job done

@TJ55 the dogs will easily win next week with 60,000+ of your fans I can't see us getting close to you, you will be far too strong for us not question.

Enjoy the match next and probably week 2 finals, turbo won't save this mob.
