Jacob Kiraz
The Dogs’ starting lineup must have discovered nangs while Kiraz was out, because he is the only one of these cunts who remembers how to score tries. The Tigs have conceded 7 tries to either of Jacob’s usual positions in the last 6 games, so let me tell you pendejo, left wing… fullback… it don’t matter, Kiraz is gonna fuck you up mang.
Api Koroisau
The Bulldogs have been kicked up the guts by opposition hookers in 3 of the last 5 games. Them having an entirely different second row this week doesn’t exactly scream “Koroisau has no chance” to me.
Jaeman Salmon
The Tigers only gave up one try to right side edge runners in the first 8 games. That was a pretty impressive run, but it has all gone to shit at this point since they have been scored on by them for the last two games in a row. I’d feel a lot better about this if Preston was still in this position, but The Weak Gutted Dog himself has ripped one in from Lock in recent weeks, so it’s entirely doable.
Jarome Luai
In the last 6 games, the Dogs have conceded 5 tries to opposition 5/8s. Jarome has never been a try fiend, but he has found the line twice already this season, and you know he’s a fuckin pest so he will be trying just that little bit harder to get one around Lachlan Galvin.
Faaletino Tavana/Jeral Skelton
The Doggies have been fucking ransacked by opposition wingers for 22 tries in 11 games. That’s two per game. I don’t have a calculator handy, but I reckon there’s a pretty good chance that the Tigers wingers are going to be responsible for at least… Two tries. If that’s not good enough insight for ya, wingers have been responsible for scoring the first or last try against the Bulldogs 7 times in that 11 game period.
Bronson Xerri/Stephen Crichton
There have been just two games where the Tigers haven’t been scored on by at least one opposition centre. It’s worth noting that the tries to right side centres completely dried up upon the return of Taylan May, but Taylan May ain’t home this week. The first or last try has been scored on the Tigers by centres five times in 10 games, and Bronson has put the full stop on a game twice so far.
