OFFICIAL | GAME DAY Post Game Round 5 | Bulldogs 30 - 26 Roosters

[Scoooby]

Taaffe was just coming good, he got a lot of confidence back and we were starting to see us with a good Fb, something we haven’t had since Barba. It’s a pitty. And he can also steer the team around too. Sexton is algood, I like that he plays what’s in front of him at speed an can make a decision and put the play on with no time.

Critta was getting driven back when returning the ball from fullback , Critta had a chance to stop most of those roosters tries but just wasn't quick enough or able to hold the ball up

Tonight proves he's definitely not our 1st option at fullback.

Tracey better play fullback next week if taffe is out

Salmon was moved to the centres rather than wing. So Crichton played fullback rather than Tracey.
Xerri, JAC and Wilson can all take up a wing spot next week so Tracey can play fullback.

Robbo can suck a fucking bondi cock. I’m glad they got close and lost now, fuck that ****.

wtf happened at half time…Kiks 149m in the first half, 18m in the second half.

Kautoga only got 23min? I’ll gladly have him on the bench again next week.

Salmon has to go back to nsw cup, he is shithouse.

Mann needs to be starting from now on.

critta is a better centre than fb. Let Tracey play fb next week.

 

[D.O.W.]

There’s a lot of sh!tting on the team given that second half effort, however, highlighted these three points:
1. We put ourselves in a strong position to begin with with great intensity and desire executing perfectly
2. Despite the extra man, we had to stop the bleeding from 6 agains and roosters generating good ruck speed and scoring back2back2back tries.
3. They got the win regardless and had their own injuries, a few were playing busted toward the money end of the game

 

[Tassie Devil]

still shouldn't of conceded 20 points with an extra player and then another 6 points with 2 extra players

Agree of course. But, we can't get hung up on the ifs or maybes. We won the game. We need to learn and develop as a team, but we always knew this.

Onwards and upwards as I say. We can only get better from that.

 

[KiwiDog7]

I’ll give you boys some insight..remember the 2020 grand final. Storm were up 24 nil or something and Penrith come back to within a try . Similar to this game. Storm were the better team but when they got up by so many they didn’t know what to do with so much at stake. That’s how the boys felt tonight

But unlike the Storm we were playing 12 and then 11 players lol

 

[Nate DAWG]

So 800K plus is a good investment for a defensive center for a team without a 7, middles or established FB is it?

Critta will prove to be a a great signing. 800k for him is better than 800k for staggs

 

[dawso047]

It was the right move, and even if it took a few forced positional changes to happen, it shows that Burton at centre is not 100% out of CCs mind, and we also got a chance to see it, and it looked pretty good in the context of things.

What did Burton do at centre tonight? Apart from scoring a try against a 12 man Roosters side with a second rower to run pass. Burton did nothing except run into a gaping hole, he didn't beat anyone.

 

[Lynchpin]

think we need to add an outside back as 18th man from now on

The "18th" man should be a wildcard; an additional player selected from the remainder of the listed squad, at the discretion of the coach depending on the situation that causes the activation.

 

[GA45]

It was like 2 different teams ran out. Tbh it would have had to do with structure aswell we shifted around our spine taffe out our centre to fullback our 5/8 to centre then 18th man to 5/8 it was a shit show. We looked good with our first team and taffee impressed while he was on.
need to work on it for next week

So when Sexton came on I couldn’t work out who was where as wasn’t Salmon in the centre to start the second half?

Did Hutch really stay the 7 all game. FMD

 

[maroondog72]

I saw a lot on here wanting Chriton at fullback, Burton to left centre, and Sexton in the halves.
Well you got your wish tonight and we were worse.

Hope that puts you bunch of fucking idiots back in your stupid box.

Couldn’t have said it better myself

 

[The DoggFather]

And I can live with that bro, some get it done don’t but it pisses me off that the same fuckwits will put the slipper into the club and the coach for leaving him in Reggie’s to work on his defence.

Bro, picking between Sexton and Hutch is like picking between Biden and Trump.... basically you're picking pig shit or cow shit lol

 

[dawso047]

That Burton try looked like Burton from Penrith

He did nothing, he ra in a try without a hand being laid on him against a 12 man Roosters side.

 

[ShepardDog]

Still undefeated when playing at home lol

 

[Lynchpin]

But unlike the Storm we were playing 12 and then 11 players lol

To be absolutely fair, the Rorters started the second half with 13 again, and he was the best go-forward they'd had all game. He got their momentum going. Without him, the Dogs run in another 26 unanswered...

 

[Dognacious]

Dont get me wrong ill take the 2 points for sure, but i wish i had stopped watching at halftime.

 

[chemdog]

lmao robbo saying young didnt deserve to be sent off

 

[jof]

Critta will prove to be a a great signing. 800k for him is better than 800k for staggs

LOL. Staggs has great middles and a gun 7 in front of him. We are putting the horse before the cart. Ferrari on a dirt road.

 

[Kung fu man]

I’m watching the replay now. Judging by a lot of comments on here, should I bother watching the second half? Were they that bad?

No you watch it just have your defribulator handy

 

[NPC83]

What about Robbo trying to play down Dom Young’s high shot. Absolute flop.
