I watched the game tonight and within the first 5 minutes things seemed strange. At fulltime this was confirmed.

1. Holdsworth in for Stagg, Gordon to bench. Does that mean Gordon was not going to be playing except for Stagg pulling out? How in the hell does that work? In addition, WHY WAS HOLDSWORTH AT LOCK. Eastwood to Lock, Holdsworth to second row (or park football I don't really care), Gordon in.

2. Who the hell were the refs? I'ev never heard of them, and hope I never have to again. Seriously bull**** calls from BOTH of them tonight.

3. Yes Parra were good, but getting helped 40m up field by the ref helps when you are getting dominated in your own half.

4. 10m ... Does ANYONE in Blue and Yellow know how far that is? If so, STAY BACK. Constant offside tonight by Eels smothered the bulldogs in attack.

5. Holdsworth bombed a certain 6 pointer, and attempted to tackle the ball instead of Moi Moi for the last try. That's park football stuff.

6. Our team lacked direction out there tonight, unsure why, but we got dominated. Kimmorley was kicking fine but his passes were really off, almost like he had other things on his mind.

7. What was the obsession with inside balls and going up the centre, if it didn't work the first, second or 30th time during the match, TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

8. Did everyone forget we have centres and wingers?

9. Why does Idris stop before he decides to run??

10. Brad Morrin - Someone try and argue he should be in the team after tonight. Had a shocker.

Agree with everything you said. But watch out for Blaqdog, he thinks some guys like Holdsworth had blinders.

Yeah I reckon Barba will do the same thing to Moi Moi as Brett White dropped Steve Price in Origin

We lacked intensity, the Eels had plenty. Was a flat performance.
We will bounce back next weekend

Bakes is right. The Dogs had no passion whereas Parra were fired up like it was a finals game. Kimmorley seemed to be a bit lost in the face of stiff defence. Perhaps it was just that the team was flat tonight.

If we're going to have a bad day, I'd rather it happened now and not towards the finals.

Let's see how we go next week.

Holdsworth is not a second rower...

Holdsworth for Stagg was the wrong call
