Pre-Game Manly v Bulldogs [Round 24, 2021]

[Shoe1]

In most NRL games, you always get the feeling that an upset is an outside chance but I reckon the Dogs are absolutely zero hope of causing an upset. That's how bad they are under Trent. At least when Pay was coaching, they'd compete every week and defend with a great attitude, they were just low on game breaking ability. Under Barrett, they have gone backwards.

I am never 100% sure

Q: "That Manly coach we signed isn't working out, what should we do?"

A: "Sack him and install an interim coach till we can get a less successful Manly coach."

Moral of the story, they hate us 'cause they ain't us.

Turvey was saying get rid of Des because he hasn't got Bulldog DNA or some such comment.

Bulldog DNA is to betray and sack your legends - it happened to Mortimer himself, Garry Hughes, Pay, Bullfrog's daughter, Dr George etc

I just feel sorry that's it's not scumatta or purplescum supporters that aren't going through the same.

I'm hoping all Qld teams miss the 8.
And of course they lost Origin.
At home.

Dean Pay too.

It's also funny when clubs talk about getting the old boys back into the club to instil culture. What that actually means is get some beer drinking idiots who played a completely different game 30 years ago to hang around the club, shake hands and give too many opinions.

I get the feeling our complacency will be our downfall. Biggest boilover of the season coming up. We all know what Manly can do with games like this. Dropped balls, give away set restarts and penalties , headless chook plays, kicks out on the full.
Hopoate to have a blinder and that dogs pack will stand up to the test.
Dogs x 12.

Great stuff Mick.

I can see Can'tbury throwing everything (inc kitchen sink) at us for the first 20 min , then its up to us where it finishes...

The Bulldogs are broken , they can’t wait for it to be over.

They’ll turn up , we’ll score a quick 3 or 4 , heads will go down , and it’ll be a romp!!

There’s no other result ( have you seen the betting we are like $1.02 they are $12.00, the bookies know).

I seem to remember a game earlier this year Rorters V Donkeys I think it was similar odds like $1.020 to $12/$13 and the Donkeys got up or close to it

gee mate - you seriously must kick the dog and spit on the wife each morning. There must be some positivity in your world... surely! Something must at least be ok. Something like... the roof is leaking... but the walls aren't falling down or the rust holes in the floor of the car are huge... but the engine is great. Can't you grab onto something sort of positive? Not sure I have ever read anything but doom and gloom. Or is this doom - a gee up for clowns like me who fall in? lol

The only good thing that ever came out of the Dogs was David Gillespie.

Hoppa to have a blinder; that's when I knew your post was a piss take.

If the Dogs win by 12 and Hoppa gets MOM, I'll pay for your next ticket to the footy.

Dogs only chance is for one of our guys to get sent off.
Even then we'd probably still win.

We'd still win if we had 2 sent off mate...as long as they are Sorro and Walker.
