OFFICIAL Pathways - KOE General Discussion

[Vicious]

We have named a decent team, but the Bulldogs have quite a few that have and can play well at NRL level and I doubt we will have the ability to match them across the park.
It’s a good test to see if some of our players are improving and can show it against good quality opposition.

They can afford to have an ex regular first grader on the bench for reggies 🤔 (ZT)

But it's 13v 13 from kick off a bit ofuck and some 50/ fufitys go our way we just never know... But likely another hiding coming up

It's just an unbalanced event talent wise coming up... Just give it your best lads

Well the suprise Team is our Jersey Flegg, sitting second on the table. They just keep on winning by a small margin in high scoring games.

From what I've seen of them, they've barely had any changes to the team apart from the odd couple per week and the spine has relatively stayed the same which has allowed the players to gel and get comfortable with each other over the past 7rds or so

I'm looking forward to what we can do on Saturday against one of the best Cup sides now that our hooker & halves are building some continuity.

On paper our outside backs are strong and really T'oa should dominate at this level.

Hopefully our defence up the middle is better as they build experience together but that's where we'll likely be found out.

I'm looking for progress & some classy and big effort plays from Laulilii, Tallyn, Faagutu & Miller to reinforce our hope in them.

Why wouldnt you start with TDS instead of Simpkin he needs time on the field.

Actually there's been wholesale changes almost every week, spine, outside backs, forwards. All rotating a huge amount, there are very few combinations, yet they keep winning which is impressive

A J loses ball in first minute 1 minute later dogs score
As bad as it gets

 

[BalmainJnr]

Been an excellent start against the dogs.

I’ve tried to find positives in his game, but honestly take him off and release him immediately.
Bulldogs should win this game by 50

 

[balmain boy]

Kepaoa drops it in our 4th hitup. Then he doesn't slide and let's Sexton slip through to score. Just drop him to Ron Massey.

This could get ugly

 

[balmain boy]

Sullivan with an absurd offload, completing 0/2. Just terrible

 

[BalmainJnr]

Our tradition of sucking at short drop outs continues.

 

[Vicious]

I know he’s young, so hopefully plenty of improvement to come, but at the moment Kit is not up to it.

 

[BalmainJnr]

AJ with a dumb penalty leads to Kautoga scoring for the dogs.

 

[Stevec]

3 drops so far Kepoa and Lobb and Kit
Bulldogs 2nd try has biggest forward being marked on our tryline by Sullivan that's it no one else within 5m . A impossible to stop

 

[Speed2burn]

This side is awful
Who coaches them?

 

[BalmainJnr]

Just holding onto the ball is an achievement today.

 

[Tigers_Wests]

One team is playing with intent and wanting to put pressure on the players above them. The other is just waiting for the siren to sound.
