Another game we probably would have marked off on the calendar in the off season as a hard game. But as is, we should account for them quite easily. I wonder if JMK will be back and if so, will he come right into the team or come back via QLD Cup?

Where's Matt?
 
Should win this and confirm the Dogs are well and truly in the hunt for a bottom 4 spot. Dragons, Titans, Melbourne, Canterbury and Parramatta. Personally I think the last of those has more improvement than Melbourne and Canterbury.

JMK back. I think that makes a big difference to our attack and dummy half threat. I also think Plath to 13 with KD having another week under his belt will be great.

Bostock at centre did well and a big confidence boost for him in the position he wants to play.

Moving into this game we are a squad with a little more confidence.

I would love us to build on that game, and not the performance. Despite the win i thought we were poor. The message I would have is that we can win when poor, imagine what we do when we are well oiled, the ability to be a threat in the comp is there, its up to the players to realise it with hard work, discipline and doing all the 1%ers.

Focus at training and in video session should be fixing those unforced errors. Those lapses that result in pens that put the opposition into scoring situations. Then addressing the Bulldogs in the forwards, laying the foundation and stopping their metres upfront. And in turn stopping their left edge and focusing on the defense of our right edge. They are in a bad way, and a fast start can set their lack of confidence into a rot.

I hope JMK and Kodi come into the starting team. We beat Melbourne easily but they are ordinary this year and that first half was just terrible from us.

Is Kurt D injured again?
 
Seems he was dropped though Schneider in the team and Donoghue dropped is bizarre.
Nah just dropped off. The 4 lock rotation strikes.

Might be still underdone. But for thr life of me, both fully fit, him and plath are top 2, knowles should be rotating
Knowles goes ok but for the life of me, he isn't a better lock than Plath or Kurt D. Let's see what will happen if JMK is a late inclusion.
