Not a shot at the thread Demps , but if the players take the Bulldogs as easy as some on the Forum are taking them we will be in for a rude shock

This will be a tight game , their forward pack will match up well with us

Klemmer ,Woods ,Jackson , RFM if back

I'll be happy if we get the two points injury free and move on to the following game

Dogs have not been far off the money in all their games. They have a strong pack, but their attack has been poor, but is getting better. They are playing with plenty of ticker, I think we have to really lift to beat them. Also IMO, like us they have had some pretty average calls go against them.
 
We don't need to worry about Woods so much but look out for Klemmer, he's going great guns and really stood up against the Sharks. They went blow for blow against the Sharks and only lost it at the end; it will be a very hard task for us to beat them with the lack of energy we've been showing.

I know they are probably gone as far as Top 8 is concerned , but you'd be guessing they might be …...cue Geo ........desperate
 
This game has me worried theyre improving gradually imo and were on the slide a bit.
Thought occured to me yesterday wouldnt surprise me to see us play Foran into form if their pack gets on top of ours

Foran was pretty good yesterday , almost scored twice with his running game

They were very close to beating Cronulla at Cronulla

Can't say it enough , we don't show up 100% mentally or bring our best game we won't win
 
I consider this game to be the tester as to how the team is travelling, if we don't win this, it might be a quiet back end to the season. So far the Tigers have exceeded my expectations.

And I reckon A.Woods will be up for this, he'll have something to prove.
 
If Woods has one good game this year it will be against us.

I don't think he has been horrible this year but makes way to many mistakes and still starts plodding

He hasn't played as well for the Dogs as he played for the Tigers yet.

Woods wont decide the result it will come down to referees and mistakes.

Woods will make a few metres running forwards and a few metres running backwards. He’ll try and fire up for this on and plod even more.

He'll milk penalties, drop ball and stink it up as usual.
Big pillow this guy.
Disgraceful.

I agree, his point will be to run 100+ meters backwards, flop with30 tackles..
 
Gotta love all these media reports saying Woods should be in origin because of his stats.

Woods can have his good games but far to often he kills momentum in a set.

Teams found him out last year just by holding him up and letting him walk a few metres in reverse and they get a 20 second break and reset the line

If you ask most people who should be the first front rower picked for NSW, the answer you'll likely get is Reagan Campbell-Gillard.
>
And it's hard to argue with that given his impressive start to the year for the Penrith Panthers.
>
But how misleading is individual form? Is it affected by perception of how well your team is going?
>
For instance, Aaron Woods is almost the forgotten man when it comes to Blues selection.
>
But is that a reflection of Canterbury's woes or is he genuinely struggling?
>
It looks like Campbell-Gillard is running harder, tackling stronger and having a far more meaningful impact on the game than Woods.
>
It's as if he's making 42 metres or four runs more per game. Like he's missed 23 less tackles or offloaded 18 more times this year.
>
Well, turns out looks can be deceiving. It's actually Woods who is on the dominant end of those figures.
>
Granted, statistics don't always paint a picture of the truth. But they also don't lie.
>
Campbell-Gillard is averaging 8.9 runs per game for 98.1 metres with a total of 386.8 post contact metres for the season.
>
Compare that to Woods, who is averaging 13.4 runs per game for 140 metres with a total of 581.2 post contact metres in 11 games this year. Yet it looks inevitable that he will miss out with Paul Vaughan, Jack de Belin and Campbell-Gillard expected to make their State of Origin debut in the June 6 opener.
>
Campbell-Gillard has missed a staggering 37 tackles this year, while Woods has missed just 15.
>
There's also been pressure on David Klemmer to hold on to his spot but his numbers are superior to both Campbell-Gillard and Woods – or any NSW forward for that matter – averaging a mammoth 173.8 metres per game this year.
>
Woods has also had slightly quicker play-the-balls than Campbell-Gillard this season, averaging 3.27 seconds compared with the Panthers prop's 3.51.
>
By no means is this a suggestion that Campbell-Gillard shouldn't be picked, because he deserves to add State of Origin honours to the international honours he racked up last year.
>
But it seems as though the fortunes of respective teams somewhat dilute perception of how a player is actually performing.
>
Take Andrew Fifita for example. He's once again being touted as the best prop in the game on the back of five straight wins for the Sharks, but his numbers over the past five rounds aren't too dissimilar to his start to the year.
>
Now there's talk about Fifita playing game one and three, despite pledging his allegiance to Tonga and will miss the second game of the series as a result.
>
Given the way Fittler has spoken in the past and the values he seems to be basing his team on, it will be extraordinary if he jeopardises what he is trying to build by selecting Fifita.
>
It's almost as if the Blues have used his form spike to detract attention from all the rookies they are about to unearth in the series opener at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
>
One of those was expected to be Curtis Scott, but his brain explosion at AAMI Park – where he punched Dylan Walker – has cost him any chance of partnering Storm teammate Josh Addo-Carr on the left edge for NSW.
 
Question is about "killing momentum" is that he makes more metres, takes more hitups and plays the ball faster than RCG.

RCG makes 50cm more on average per charge; they make the same post-contact metres as per run.

So the question is, if Woods really is that slow, where is he slow compared to RCG? In the time it takes to make the run but not including the PTB? Because stats say Woods plays the ball more quickly.

Woods makes far more offloads, even if some of them aren't good, he makes so many more than RCG as to say RCG effectively has no second-phase.

RCG misses a rather horrid # of tackles… for comparison Brooks and Moses have missed 47.

So precisely where is RCG more effective than Woods? And I personally don't care if Woods plays or not, it just interests me as a Tigers supporter, there always seems to be a bias towards players doing ok in a good team rather doing well in a poor team.
