NRL Round 5 - Bulldogs Vs Knights - Accor Stadium - 6:15pm Sunday 6th April

[KPGreatness]

So from this game next week
Marzhew - Dropped
McCarthy - In
Schiller - out HIA
Aoake/Hunt/Annan - In
Cogger - Paid early and told he isn’t needed
Hastings/Sutton/Crossland - in at Half

If Crossland goes to half, Brailey to 9 and Arthur on the bench

 

[jamesgould]

And, Brown?

He can definitely fill that gap.

I was anti him coming this season, but now I'd go for it in a second haha.

 

[frankLauda]

The dogs defence is to good. We needed to put more attacking kicks to stop them coming up so fast. Be we don’t have the kickers to do that.

 

[Hughburt6]

We have missed Lucas
Both our edges were too sideways

 

[Breen3]

Marz has to sit out and get himself and his hands sorted. The errors he produces far out weigh his early carries

 

[jamesgould]

I don't see how sitting out would fix handling errors?

Marzhew definitely plays next week, we'll be without Schiller so no way we lose both wingers.

 

[Sheent14]

So knights attack has looked somewhat decent in what, one half? We have "arguably" the most dangerous backline in the entire comp, it is honestly so disappointing. Ponga - dives and falls to the ground on every kick reception - he should be most dangerous with a scattered defensive line and more open space. Lean into the second phase play, it brings Sharpe into the game, and it's where we look remotely dangerous.

 

[krustykraz]

Hard to win with J.Saf and Schiller out after 2mins.
All those drop balls and constant D in the first half took it out of them.
Thought our middles were good considering.

We really needed Ponga and Sharpe to stand up.

Cogger is absolutely useless

 

[EASBay17]

Marz isnt going to be dropped his our best backfield carrier and when your forwards are being beat up he is first bloke picked

 

[slotmachine]

I'm sort of worried we'll be paying almost $3m for two players who regularly go missing next year

We literally have the worst attack in the NRL.....

Knights are actually open to him coming but have to move Hastings on, however Hastings has said he will see out his contract.

Coaches fault we have 14 men. Game was gunna play out like this as soon as we went to 15 men. Which was in the 2nd minute

Not tonight, still doesn’t make me want him here though. As I’ve said in the past, I was disappointed when they resigned him after the boys went on that run.
I’m sick of a decent game every fifth game after four bog average ones. We’re a better team than that.

 

[Celticman98]

I thought the Bulldogs would fall off a cliff this year like most teams do that have a good year out of nowhere but quite clearly haven't.

Their attack isn't that flash but their defense and attitude is outstanding.

 

[EASBay17]

We literally have the worst attack in the NRL.....

None of the spine is able to deviate from plan A when we lose the middle (looking at our pack its going to be more often than not)

 

[The Artist Formerly Known as Aku'd]

and the one after, and the one after, and the one after………

 

[Mclovin]

Ponga needs to step up, he just seems so lost out there at the moment. Not sure what's going on.

 

[mozza]

They had a go in defence I guess. Having a hooker devoid of a skillset, a real NRL standard halfback and a winger at 5/8 isn’t looking too flash attacking wise.

Ponga looks disinterested as well, hard to blame him with the tards he’s surrounded by. This year has 2022 written all over it.

 

[Thieves Like Us]

Hastings…paging Jackson Hastings…

KPP and Lucas (hopefully) back will firm up the edges and give us a bit more in attack.

Cant to 13, Elliott and Frizz to join the middle rotation.

Very tempted by Brailey starting and Phoenix to 14. He looks so much more natural at 9.

I would personally keep Greg in the team. His carries are needed!

 

[slotmachine]

looking at our pack its going to be more often than not

And next year we won't have our two best from tonight!
