Which should be enough for them to win. I can’t see us scoring four tries.They'll put 20 on us
Ok, let’s say we do that, but for us to score 15 or more will be an even bigger problem !Unless our defence can keep the Dogs to under 14 points I can't see us winning ...hope I'm wrong
14 at least gives us a chanceOk, let’s say we do that, but for us to score 15 or more will be an even bigger problem !
Based on what we’ve been showing of late, admittedly v better teams.
Yeh that's my first thought on this topic... Who do we have on our right edge Fainu Naden & Staimes?The Bulldogs left edge of Burton, Kikau, Xerri and Addo-Carr will destroy us.
It’s a near guarantee we leak more points than we did last night and will again be lucky to score more than 2 tries.
LOL so you think a team that has no halfback , and has had a pretty easy draw , is going to lap us more than the best team in the comp with thier best 2 players firing at the same time .The Bulldogs left edge of Burton, Kikau, Xerri and Addo-Carr will destroy us.

Baffling.LOL so you think a team that has no halfback , and has had a pretty easy draw , is going to lap us more than the best team in the comp with thier best 2 players firing at the same time .
Jesus Christ you’re sooo negative ….
They have strike all over the park that we don't have. They have the ability to capitalize on their opportunities which we have demonstrated is a challenge for us.Baffling.
We're going ok, with plenty to work on.
The Dogs are going ok, with plenty to work on.
This is a team in a similar boat to us. The recency bias that has people worried they'll pump us is more of an indictment of the degree to which they watch the 1% of the game.
The Tigers are more than capable of handling Canterbury.
We did against Cronulla. So what has happened to our attack and defence?Which should be enough for them to win. I can’t see us scoring four tries.
Spoken like a real fan.How do you improve an atrocious attack in one week, particularly when nobody is putting their hand up to replace the players currently in the side ?
The Bulldogs will use this game as a chance to make a statement and easily beat us by 20+

No they don't.They have strike all over the park that we don't have. They have the ability to capitalize on their opportunities which we have demonstrated is a challenge for us.
If we continue in the same vain where it's all D with no reward mentally at some point the team will crack. They are on an upward trajectory and we are on a 4 game losing streak there is reason to be concerned.
They watch highlights. They’ve beaten the knights , titans and a depleted roosters . Let’s take it easy with the praise .Baffling.

You can't beat anyone if you can't score points. Their capacity to score points given their strike power is an advantage they have over us and there is no evidence to show in our last 4 games that we have found a way to overcome the problem. You could argue that we played 4 teams that had great defensive structures that prevented us from scoring, but considering we were in a position to score on numerous occasions against all those teams and couldn't Id say the problem rests squarely with the squad and if we can't improve it by next week it is highly likely we will lose.No they don't.
Their hooker is average. They don't have a halfback. Their front row stocks are light on and their forward pack, outside of Kikau is underwhelming.
What they do have is a strong backline. You're correct, they're taking their chances, we're not. That's an indication that we're creating chances. No matter who we're playing, if we continue that way, we won't win anything. That is a bug in this side, it doesn't define this side.
I stated that we are capable of taking care of them. Which we are. If we play poorly, we won't. It's a pretty straightforward stance.
What is there to be 'concerned' about? Not winning?
Four game losing streak? So what? Have they played the same opposition? Have they been without key members of their side recently? They've lost to the Sharks and Parramatta. Easily. We've beaten both. They've lost to the Rabbits (last) and beaten the Titans (worst side in the comp) and Roosters (who completed at 69%) and Newcastle (with a shot-duck Ponga).
Talk to me about comparing the two teams' records once they've played the two Grand Finalists back to back.
They're getting the wins to show their improvement, we're not.
As bad as we've been in attack, we were within a try of the Dolphins and a cruel bounce of the ball away from being 3 tries a piece versus the Dragons. Both games we were missing a piece of our spine, lost our VC and our form forward in Fainu. We then pushed the premiers away from home, despite some outrageous calls and were soundly beaten by what is probably the best side in the comp at the moment, who, despite the howls of them being a bit off, were unbelievable in defence.
I'm not saying we're better than them. I'm not saying we will win. I'm saying we are capable of handling them.
I'd say we will most likely win the forward battle again. I'd say we will create opportunities to score (our attack is getting a little better each week as the combinations slowly improve). If we take them, we're every chance.
They're in the same group of teams as us. They've just grabbed their opportunities and we glaringly haven't.
So, I'll reiterate; we have the personnel to win this game. Canterbury is a side we can beat.
But, like you said, if we don't start to take our opportunities, we won't. Forget the Dogs, we won't be beating anybody.
Good thing execution is a repetitions issue, not a talent one.
Where’s the strike all over the park ? They have a centre and a back rower . Every body else is a huge “?”. As much as our team. Especially in the middle .They have strike all over the park that we don't have. They have the ability to capitalize on their opportunities which we have demonstrated is a challenge for us.

I essentially said that very thing.You can't beat anyone if you can't score points. Their capacity to score points given their strike power is an advantage they have over us and there is no evidence to show in our last 4 games that we have found a way to overcome the problem. You could argue that we played 4 teams that had great defensive structures that prevented us from scoring, but considering we were in a position to score on numerous occasions against all those teams and couldn't Id say the problem rests squarely with the squad and if we can't improve it by next week it is highly likely we will lose.
Round 27.Where’s the strike all over the park ? They have a centre and a back rower . Every body else is a huge “?”. As much as our team. Especially in the middle .
I think we need to chill with the wrist cutting . Most teams will lose to the broncos and panthers , for very different reasons , this year .
Wait until round 12 before we make any assessment .
JAC is in stellar form as is Kikau. They have the arguably the best centre in the competition and Burtons bombs are as good as they get and have the capacity wreak havoc with Kikau's kick chase. Connor Tracey is proving to be a great link man and Burton can finish off any backline move with his running gameWhere’s the strike all over the park ? They have a centre and a back rower .
