We have these guys covered!!!
If the forwards can lay a platform down like they have done against the Titans and the Dragons we are there!!!!
I'm most concerned about their morris goodwin combination on Wright and Burty. Burty is solid, but jono is yet to prove himself although he did cover well last week.
The dogs looked pretty bad against Newcastle, without much direction in the forwards, Hannant is a great player but he's no leader. We need to smash Ennis and Kimorley, I would look to see Hindy or Lowrie running wide at Kimmorely and Ben smith probably lining up Ennis.
Also Joey Johns reckons we have them on his blog today.,
this means that in the air it will be grothe vs goodwin and burty vs elmasri , both which really cancel each other out tho idris on burty is a worry so id be sending inu back on 5 tackle in our redzone
Hindy, Smith, Mateo and Lowrie need to run at Kimmorley at every opportunity. He is a tough bugger, but even he will be a little nervous about getting re-injured.
Boys, the further this week has gone, the better I'm liking our chances...
I actually differ from you guys. I think when you match the teams up like this, you'd say the Dogs are the stronger side. We win fullback, wing, bench impact - they win centres, halves, hooker. I think the forwards are pretty evenly matched. So really, they hold the advantage in the key positions.
What you can really see is given the two teams strengths how it relates to their style of play. Bulldogs rely on a very structured game, clever kicking from their halves and aim to put their centres through gaps. We go for second-phase play that brings our fullback and wingers into the game.
I do agree with you that the bench is where we look to have an advantage
