Call it irresponsible irrationals or plain stupid, what Lewis did was a response for what that grab said this game or did the last game.
Call me mad if you want but I would have done the same, there is a time when enough is enough.
This takes me back few year,
It was 1984 the Bulldogs and the Dragons were battling it out for the top of the table position, I walked into coach Ryan's office...Here's what unfolded on that Wednesday morning...
Ryan...what are we going to do this week against St George they have strong forwards and very fast backs, continued we can match them with our strong forwards...
Me...with our strong forwards I asked ? our strong forwards are nothing but wimps,
Ryan...why do you say that ?
Me...do you remember how Craig Young smashed Darryl Brohman's jaw in the trial match and went on to claim triumph saying the Australian loose head prop position is mine, all your strong forwards stood and looked on without defending their team mate, I continued this has been happening ever since we lost our forwards to Newtown in 1978
even when we win they still belt us,
Ryan...what do you suggest I do now ?
Me...We have to win respect, we might lose the game but we have to bash them.
I didn't think in my wildest dreams I would see it happen until that night at the SCG when we absolutely bashed the living life out of them sending 5 of their top players to hospital including Wynn, O'Grady, Rogers, O'Conner and someone else I can't remember who.
Early in the game Lamb loose passed to Farrar on their 10 meter line O'Conner picked the ball and raced 90 meters to score up the field, yes we lost the game but won back our respect sending fear threw every team in the comp as
The Dogs of War emerged.
I'm just wondering, can I still claim some credit for it after all these years ?
