Interesting he is playing the same role as he did for us last year.
Week 2 trial games (non Manly)

Always thought he would. That's why he was signed - because over the last two seasons he proved himself as a valuable interchange forward. His days as a centre or half are long gone.

It’s a fork, as in ‘put a fork in them’.
Tigers and Canberra are both on 0 points right now so it’s the fork playoff.
Interesting game coming up between Dogs and Sharks. They’re the only teams left that can knock us off top spot.
This is unnecessarily complicated so probably not worth reading. If teams finish on equal points it’s decided by most tries, if still equal it goes to most goals, if still equal it goes to least penalties, if still equal it goes to a coin toss.
If Dogs win and score max bonus (5 tries, 5 line breaks, 10 offloads) only way we stay on top is if they only score 5 tries, 1 goal and concede 5 penalties (if it’s 4 penalties it will go to a coin toss).
If Sharks win with max bonus they need 6 tries 3 goals and can’t concede more than 1 penalty.
I’m kinda hoping it goes to a coin toss because seeing V’landys toss a coin and hand over a 6 figure cheque would be peak NRL incompetence.

Reckon Bulldogs and Sharks will be tight...ish and the winner wont get the full bonus points
oops my bad. You are correct
Hopoate doesn’t look that flash at the Raiders.
There was upheaval on here when we didn’t sign him to a new deal.

Plenty of passion coming from the dogs. Got me thinking about who has punched above their weight in the trials. Dogs, Warriors, Tigers, Broncos, St Helens and us. The common denominator is we all had something to prove and played sides that know they’re good. Loved watching us get some wins but those wins mean very little and could easily prove to be a false dawn.

Just hope for a draw. Problem solved
Sharks looking good with 3 tries but only 1 line break and 1 offload.
Dogs 1 try, 0 line breaks, 5 offloads
Dogs 1 try, 0 line breaks, 5 offloads
Only offload will save us
Sharks are on 1
They need 10
