Are the Dogs confidence and form sky high ?

Their form line is no worse than ours of late - may even be a bit better as they could have won a couple of games (so could we I suppose). Anyway Foran is a big loss for them so I'm hopeful that we can get the win, despite having an atrocious record at ANZ over the last few years.

I reckon could rip them through that middle enough to give Cust and DCE some great opportunities, just can't let in 34 points and expect to win footy games....keep them under 18 and will win.

Agreed our fowards are much better but it comes down to effort and our effort in the second half is always terrible

Think we may even lead at Stages but dumb footy decisions will cost us again.

not letting the dogs score right Before half time would be a good start.

Hope you are right but those few Ins for the dogs worry me and us as a team completely losing the will or know how to win think we are up against it on Friday night.

i would not be against us winning big but just can’t see it happening.

True. Dog's will also have motivation to avoid the spoon which won't help us. Hoping with Foran out, Thier attack is a bit off.

It’s the one game they will turn up for all season plus the Des factor of Des playing the dogs at anz stadium does not fill me with any confidence at all.

Do we have to?

Do
We have to?

No think it could be again a very disappointing night for our club

I put a dollar on us to make the Grand Final today ... paying $501 over here in Auckland. It’s actually not mathematically impossible. The sharks will lose their last 3... we just need to win all 3. Hopefully the Sharks get smashed a couple of times, and you never know. It won’t happen, but you gotta be in to win haha. I also put $3 on us to make the 8 haha

This could be the game that puts the Broncs on the bottom of the ladder.

Agree, they've been at least having a go.

Would like to see Olakau'atu swapped with Waddell.

You should have given that dollar to charity. And I’m not even joking.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

As bad as we have been going lately, I’d be surprised if we lose to the Bulldogs this week. They are totally crappola at finishing off a game. If they had real motivation to avoid finishing last then they would have tried harder against the Titans last week, the Warriors a fortnight earlier or against the Broncos even earlier in the season which was clearly going to be a battle to avoid the spoon despite a fair bit of the season still to be played

 

[qldeagle]

Mate we'll find a way to lose against anyone. Don't get your hopes up.
