Round 8: Dolphins vs Canberra

[257Matt]

Anyone off to training today?

Canterbury halves were firing at the time Anasta played Origin and Sherwin was 18th man.

Thurston started 2004 in the halves got injured in Round 5 and by the time he returned the Bulldogs were on a roll.

If you listen to conspiracy theorists they'll tell you wink wink nudge nudge get out of Sydney.......

There you have it. Wasn't a Canterbury blunder at all. I know some big name Bulldogs have gone on record saying it was their greatest blunder but don't try and tell good ol 2 257Matt that.

Wolfe seems to like Gilbert at 2rf instead of lock now when he could play lemelemu and fine on both edges for 80 instead ?

I don’t think Woolf sees Lemuelu as completing 80 at this stage and sees a better role coming off the bench and finishing the game.

Plath and Donoghoe ruled out

Naufahu in the 19

It's going to be a big ask. Playing in Canberra is a tough gig for full strength sides.

I just watched the Woolf presser

Plath right for next week
Donga done rolled his ankle at training he was set to be okay this morning but not named at 2pm

I think it's just that he has now understood that if he is fit, Plath is the best lock we have but is a poor second rower. Gilbert in the other hand might be ok as a second rower. Jury is still out on that.

I really have no idea what will happen this afternoon - both of these teams can turn in rocks or diamonds performances (especially Raiders at home, for some reason) so it's a bit of a tipping nightmare. Thinking positively, though, Dolphins will move into the top eight with a nine-point win or better (assuming Tigers don't score a 25+-point win over Sharks, of course)
