21 MAN SQUAD v BULLDOGS

[ism22]

Any bets on Rads having 10 in the bin?

Yep. The trick to binning him is to find one of the following:
- A big hit that's left somebody on their @rse (includes some soft so and so lying down to milk a penalty while holding their head/chin in a random place that was not impacted... works even this will also give them a free interchange as HIAs are optional, you can call a head injury 'an injury as the result of foul play', refuse an HIA then go straight back on in place of a random forward rather than the guy who replaced you [also a forward, despite you being a half]).
- An attacking player who has slipped into a tackle and bumped his head on the way down.
- Any hit on a kicker who has just kicked (the sorta stuff Walker copped last week).

Since refs have a mandate to send people off when in any doubt and you can't challenge the binning (only the subsequent charges)... you can just pick one of the following and call it a sin-bin. Better to be safe than sorry.

Keen to see Billy Smith have a crack !

[The Brain]

Sorry, but i think he offers more than Lam.....

same miles more he was warming to the task but injury again..he must be a soft C he will improve .I like him

[Rooster90]

Should be interesting to see who gets sin binned first Radley or Hetherington.

These are the markets I wanna see on betting agencies.

Ben Elias has just said bulldogs will cause the upset of the season this week. The last upset of the year broncos beat us 13+, the same result this week would give Benny odds of 34-1.

Agree great to see Smith back in I was hoping he would get the gig this week, good game to bring him back in, the kid has talent can make the CTR position his own hopefully put pressure on Manu to up his game, Hutch so happy for the guy he doesn’t have a lot of strings to his bow, what he does have is effort, commitment, strong defence, big boot compliments Walker well and will take the pressure off him.
I don’t know what his contract status is, but he should get an upgrade on effort and heart alone King how long is his current contract?[/QUOTE]

Hutch is off contract this year. He is playing for his future for the rest of this season. I hope he stays healthy and gets his chance to show his true worth.

I see a Bankwest screwjob in the offing.

perhaps the players may have a sly bet on the side?................

Similar to fitzys last game

[King Salvo]

The latest is Walker is in doubt and will need to pass a fitness test - if he fails it then Lam to half and Keighran on the bench - Also Suaalii maybe a late change for either Smith or Ikuvalu

[bondi.boy]

Billy the goal kicker

Is that wise, given his injury?

[Spirit of 66]

Listening to Robbo's press conference, it's pretty clear that Suaalii will play. He indicated that for technical reasons (associated with under age players and gambling sponsorship?) he will be named in number 21 until his 18th birthday. So I'm guessing Ikuvalu is out.

[Mickie Lane]

They have about 10 good players at the Dogs & are slowly building but they need a top line coach.
