SQUAD v BULLDOGS

[BondiBob]

Wong made 18 runs for 177m and 43 tackles last week in Reggies, in a beaten side (Penrith won 30-14). I don't think it will be long until he's back in firsts. One injury or poor game by Sitili, Gus or Nat & he'll be back.

I suspect Sitili is another dud game from being dropped and I am with most Chooks supporters wanting to see Wong back in the NRL he has far more potential to make a break than Butcher and IMO streets ahead of Egan Butcher

It's Crichton

Yeah great to see him and Collins back in the starting 13.

I think this is our 'best 13' when everybody's fit and the Doggies have come at the right time. A good team for us to grind outta the game through discipline and then try-out a few tricks against if we can get on top of 'em in the first half.

No excuses this week, we need to win big this Friday. Nearly full strength and looking at Canterbury's side, we are much more formidable.

I used to look at that line up and think Grand Final baby, but sadly they just can't put it together week in week out as you'd expect. That's the Roosters way, win a couple and loose a couple.Very frustrating and disappointing.

Not yet announced.

That bloke! He hates us. We can't possibly win!

So good to see Lindsay back. We sure did miss him last week. We need to win this game well.

[King Salvo]

The Dogs will be fired up for this one, especially having their 2004 GF side in attendance during the week and on game night as they will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of that controversial win.

Talk of a big win is dangerous talk, as the Dogs are not playing poorly at all.

I expect a big match from the Pen's former favourite player, the Hutchinator, as, along with Burton, they will out-kick the Roosters kickers all game and make the Rooster ruck it out from their own end all night.

I expect a low-scoring game where the D will overshadow the Offence.

[Chook2]

Let’s hope we get back to our form again
Collins is a massive inclusion
Egan butch finally out again
thought Gus would swap with sitili, I don’t think Wong is far away having a massive game in nsw cup
dogs have no JAC, Preston so we have no excuses here
suaali 50th it seems like his career is going backwards getting left at centre! I know he is filling in for Billy smith but he is really struggling there atm
let’s hope the ball handling gets better and injury free game
chooks by 20

Nooo. Don’t tell me that. I was hoping for a good win but you’re right the dogs will have more to play for than usual. We should be too strong though.

I agree that we can't take the Dogs lightly but they are crap there's no getting around it they defend well with heart but their spine is ordinary and their forward pack is very poor they don't offer much and our biggest problem this week will be things that we can control such as too many penalties and handling errors if we get that right then the Dogs should offer no problem too us or else we will see a repeat of that game in 2022.

We should have more to play for too MR for getting dudded in that GF.

Maybe they could have a wrestle for half time entertainment. Better than watching some fat bloke kick for goal.
