Pre-Game Bulldogs v Manly [Round 16, 2021]

[Kevinward777]

Oh man did you get up today and kick the dog and spit on the kids? Your world must be a very negative place.

Old Stroney is a Freemason. Poor fella.

Surely he was being sarcastic...?

Canterbury have been handed a $50,000 breach notice for failing to take all reasonable measures to ensure their players comply with the NRL's biosecurity rules.

The NRL announced on Wednesday that the club had failed to immediately notify its playing squad and football staff of additional restrictions that were placed on Sydney based NRL clubs on June 17.

It also alleges when the club communicated the changes the following day, "it failed to effectively communicate the restrictions to ensure players and officials understood exactly the obligations placed on them".

The five players who attended the Coogee Bay Hotel and Royal Hotel in Bondi on June 20 - Dylan Napa, Brandon Wakeham, Corey Waddell, Sione Katoa and Aaron Schoupp - have also been issued breach notices.

The breach notice proposes fines which take into account the varying salaries of the players and the alleged shortcomings of the club’s communications.

Dylan Napa - $5000
Brandon Wakeham - $1750
Corey Waddell $1500
Sione Katoa $1250
Aaron Schoupp $250

This will be a very very very close game

coin flip really

Just a technical question: are you using a baitcaster or an egg beater?

I would say an egg beater. The retrieval rate is much faster 🙂

He's certainly getting a few strikes 🙂

Don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves but this is a huge opportunity to get our for and against closer to the top sides. If we are going to have a chance at winning the comp this year we have to finish in the top 4 IMO.
We need to put ourselves in the picture at the end of the year and realistically if we want to win the comp we need to knock off one the top sides and get the week off.

so true..... a 15 try haul would be nice

 

[weev]

This is a danger match.

Trent has all our secrets and knows where the chairs are kept.

 

[Mataiforever]

hahah what are the legs?

I was thinking of pushing some winnings into an app that allows better same game multis to see what I could come up with

manly to score 30+
bulldogs to score 0-10
manly 13+
manly halftime / fulltime
$3.21 at pointsbet

 

[MissKate]

Will take any win, with no injuries.

And no suspensions

And then a couple others will all back 3 to score
Tommy to score first half is $2.10 at sportsbet which I also think is massive value:

• Dogs are probably manning the worst back 5 i’ve watched in the NRL era
• Tommy (if he plays) will be looking for points in first half, with it in mind that he will get subbed off at some point in the second half. He’s paying $1.36 to score across the match

Geez has this game changed from my earlier comment - before the Dogs lost half their team.

As others have mentioned, the expectations on this game have changed hugely. There is literally no excuse not to put this Dogs side to the sword. If we can put 48 on the Titans in 1 half then we can do it to this team. In both halves.

If we improve our F/A enough in this one game, we finish undoing the damage of rounds 1-4.

Hopefully Des has run the ladder predictor a few times and realises that we may well finish level with either the Rooters or the Eels (maybe both) so these games need that foot squarely on the throat for the full 80.

We can - nay SHOULD - be 5th at the end of this week with the Storm thumping the Rooters.

Old Stroney is a Freemason. Poor fella.

A man of the temple would never kick his dog... 🙂

 

[eaglebuzz]

I'm kind of hoping Schuster is a late inclusion. With him in the side we could put 100 on them.

 

[Budgie]

Any truth to the rumour that DCE may be out due to groin injury he's been carrying?

Don't think it will matter to be honest. Someone like Cust or Schuster would be better than DCE on one leg.

No idea if the rumour is true though.

 

[Captain Moondog]

Dogs lost their best player when we signed Harper. He's probably my favourite player after Tommy.
