They'll do what melbourne do, keep a hold of the spine, the important playmakers etc & keep on bringing either new young forwards through or tough journeymen who can bend the advantage line

The forwards for Melbourne are important but they stick to the same formula, same plan no matter who's there, Bellamy just gets them playing like he wants, tight d efence & run hard, bend the line & let the creative players do the rest

I reckon they're different to Melbourne, and place more emphasis on their ball ball movement from their forwards who give them a different dimension in attack. Definitely something to work with. The Dogs are probably the one team in the comp that would cope best if their halves went down. They dont rely heavily on them like most teams, or at least the top teams.

Bowen has been great all season, or even Barba could pretty much play anywhere in the backs

I think Farah has had a decent season also but it just doesnt make sense picking him, unless he was picked as a bench forward who can cover hooker & backrow, lock, 5/8th etc

true, they have played a more creative forwards game this season, but if they have to start losing players due to salary cap restrictions its generally the forwards who get shuffled around, i still think they're seen as more dispensible, its as if they can be moulded into a role by some of these modern day coaches who rely on a more rigid structure compared to days gone by

But you're right, ifd you do get a really good ball playing forward like some of the Dogs or Glen Stewart, Sam Thaiday, even Burgess, they're keepers also & nearly as important as your playmakers

Highly doubt they aren't going to be over the cap TBH.

I listened to the audio and it didn't sound like him. I suspect a staffer or hanger on...in the footage someone was ashing a ciggy out the same window that the abuse came from.

It was reported all over the place that Ennis was happy to talk to the journalists & came out & answered some questions etc, so i doubt it was him

You really need to brush up on whats going on in the world of Rugby League son

Ennis is just a cunt on the field apparently. Meant to be a relatively nice guy off it.

I was putting shit on Williams being picked, you seem to think he played for Melbourne??...fucked if i know what you're on
My bad, I was posting with the idea that the dogs won the GF - I offer my sincerest apologies but I think you know what I was getting at.
