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

[Disco]

Bulldogs came to play, been very good and I'd say they'd be disappointed only being up by 4.

We score first and we may just rattle their confidence.

 

[Jerry1]

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.

But he wont - he goes into full sook mode when injured.

 

[Scorpio]

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

In my opinion... 100% fit or not, we would not win this match without Tom's presence on the field.

If we finished 4th I think he'd probably be rested for finals week 1.

 

[eaglebuzz]

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

That's not where we are falling down. Two terrible reads by our right side defense and being out enthused in the ruck are where we are losing this.

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

Tom needs to come off. Hoppa to FB. Koula to wing. BenT to no.3. He's busted.

 

[killerspud]

But he wont - he goes into full sook mode when injured.

True.

 

[HoldenV8]

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.

Talau and Koula should swap positions.....but they won't.

 

[bob dylan]

Is DCE playing?

 

[HoldenV8]

I will never understand how the ball carrier is not the one called for a knock-on in that situation.

 

[Ashton Davis]

He has deadset dropped that in the motion of Brooks making a tackle

 

[Wombat Junior]

I hope Tommy parked in the disabled parking spot, because that looks like where he belongs unless they manage to find Addo car in the stadium and give some of his stash to Tommy for the second half, also what about the knee in bully's head from critta after bully scored?? WEAK

 

[skull61]

Seen them given as loose carry all year

 

[globaleagle]

How stupid to you have to be, to be continually dragged back and out all the first half....and yet start off running nice and high in the second half.

****

 

[Ashton Davis]

Now Atkins wants to blow a 6 again… ****head

 

[HoldenV8]

We are making no ground up the middle with Aloiai and Brown.

 

[Ashton Davis]

Horrible to watch

 

[HoldenV8]

Obviously Garrick's fault.......

 

[Ashton Davis]

That one-handed attempt to take in that kick was frustrating

 

[globaleagle]

A manly panic-a-thon

 

[bob dylan]

Obviously Garrick's fault.......

Wait for it.....
