On current form, nobody touches them. But, RL doesn't work that way. It's such a momentum type sport and form can completely disappear. Injuries may come into play eventually. With three forwards out long term and possibly another one (Plath), it will catch up with them. That's not counting future injuries which every team contends with in the bottom third of the season. But, I'll enjoy this form while it lasts. No matter what happens this year, the Dolphins have shown that they will be tough to beat in the years to come.
Like most teams, Phins are perfect one day, shit the next. Or against Canberra, perfect one half, diabolical the next.
Canberra are a good side. They have done it to plenty of teams this year.
They are but that second half against Canberra was a team that clocked off.
They can but right from the first set of the second half, the Canberra player ran straight through our defence. That set the tone.
But how many players of our best 17 are we missing? But they are for sure missing some quality players so it's one we should win.
5 starters missing Hammer, Flegler, Saifiti, Gilbert and Plath and Fuller who's usually the backup for Hammer has only played 100 minutes of football upon return from ACL. All the rest missing are backup players including Bromwich and Sua.
As far as the number unavailable goes, it's not too bad. It's the quality of those unavailable.
That's the difference it's the absolute quality of those missing. As much as I support Bulldogs I did shoot down many of their fans who said we had 10 out the other week those 10 included backup players and squad players it's like someone saying Bromwich, Sua, Walsh and Jackson were out as well whuch they all were that week.
100 percent.
