    We plan to Zag when everyone else zigs. What's the worst that can happen? We come 14th again? Worth the gamble. The games we have won this year were ones we outmuscled their pack.

    Am I the only one who thinks Cronulla are terrible?

    I think they've slowly got worse every season since they won the comp. They've had their premiership winning side slowly retire or become basically finished as players and not really replaced them at all.

    Townsend has more or less stolen a career, Moylan plays 5 games a year, Fifita and Dugan iare finished asplayers, Magoulias and Hamlin-Uele haven't come on as expected, etc etc.

    If they make the eight with this squad they've done well. Manly are the classic "gun best 7-10 players and good coach but fuck all depth" club again this year though so with Turbo and Walker out it's a real danger game for them.

    Manly are not a one man team but one man sure does make a difference. Joisus.

    Dogs were the easiest tip of the week.

    Made some decent coin betting on Wests since Reynolds came into the team. Totally different side.

    Take nothing out of that. The Dogs are fucking pathetic.

    The way the Dogs are playing are how I expected them to play last season. They're fucking dogshit (pun unintended), at least last year they were finding ways to stay competitive.

    Fuck Tommy Talau makes me feel old.

    Grant is god. Brooks sucks.

    FFS why does it always have to be Queensland that produces gun halves and hookers?

    Benji to the Warriors, make it happen!
     
  14. Magic AJ Parker

    Melbourne...
     
  15. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Is he that much better than what they have in the halves? Send him to the Dogs.

    They have Broncos in a fortnight so they will have a chance to look like World-Beaters.
     
  17. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    If Broncos don't beat Warriors, they are a legit chance at 10 losses on the trot.

    See what Julian was saying about Doueihi at the start of the season too. Reminds of Dugan a lot.

    Doueihi at FB in defence and Mbye at fullback in attack would work quite good I feel. Or even if they just rotated every few sets because Mbye would work much better in getting Leilua the ball in space and Doueihi is a stronger runner and hole runner.

    Gary Belcher giving George Williams and Josh Hodgson Dally M points.

    Gee up.
     
  20. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Doueihi has tended to run his sweeps on the left outside Mbye the past couple of weeks anyway. Obviously it's more of a problem on the right.

    He's built a bit like Dugan but he's definitely got a better long pass in him. What he really needs to work on is his short pass selection. Teams are learning to just slide when he gets it because his two options seem to be run or throw a big cut out to the winger. Putting a centre into a gap against a defensive line trying to cover the winger is not a play that comes naturally to him at all, which is weird for someone who mostly played in the halves until first grade.
