Team Tips: Coach Wayne Bennett confirmed Mark Nicholls will miss at least a week with a concussion after failing a HIA. “He was knocked out,” Bennett said. Josh Kerr is in line to return to the side for Nicholls.

I know a lot of people are talking about the Dogs but I don't buy it personally. I think they are very beatable and I think we are going to beat them on Saturday.

Is Herbie going to be up against Crighton or will they be on opposite sides? I think Crighton is overrated though no doubt at all he's a good defender. If he's marking Herbie, it will be a good. I think Herbie will win out. His attack has been off the charts recently. Lots of tackle breaks.

In their last 5 games, who have they played to go on such a nice run?

I know we arent one of the top teams, However, I don't think they have played any of the top sides in that time.

Whilst winning is winning, they are not unbeatable, and they will lose to the top 4 in the finals.

Forward pack is small, I don't rate sexton or burton as halves.

Just my opinion.

We can beat them

Hubner and Keeley have gone ahead of Kerr and Donoghoe. Interesting.

Agreed. The Dogs are nothing special. Their profile has been heightened recently due to a big win over a disinterested and disjointed Bronco side. Like always, this game will be close. A win here and they will almost ensure post season action.

Agree. Think we might burst their little bubble this weekend.

I wasn't really confident last week. Warriors had a lot to play for and coming off a shock loss. This week I'm confident for opposite reasons. This dramatically overrated outfit is starting to believe its own legend.

Until they play Penrith or the Storm. And we were close to beating both those outfits.

Our form slump has seen us give away games when in positions to win, rather than losing them.

I'm tipping Herbie to give Crighton, who is starting to believe in his own legend far too much, a bath. But still, Dogs are a strong defensive outfit. So:
  • Dolphins by 8
  • MoM = Herbie
  • First try = Bostock

FTS- K Bromwich
MOTM- Hammer

No reason to believe that this won't be another close one. The Dolphins can make a big statement today and a victory will all but book a ticket into some September action.

First try Kenny B? Huge call. TBH, of the starting 13, he'd be my last pick.

Dolphins by 10
First try = Plath
MoM = Kafusi

I rarely get these things right. I went with one out of left field today.
