Abysmal refereeing continues however. I thought today was disgraceful, even allowing for my own bias, it was ridiculous. Do the referees watch their own games back, hope so, a lot to learn about their own performances. when will we ever win a penalty count ???

Mr I death riding Meaney so what do you think of him now?

I know, it was reverse psychology.

I know how @Mr Invisible thinks.

 

[Bob dog]

Fuck the gutlessness creeping into the NRL.
We have two fast wingers and a fast fullback, people we have a competitive football side.

 

[H-dog]

Tolman's runs are looking harder this year... Always good defensively and with his workload but today he had some really effective charges

Cause he got good service out of dummy half and didn’t need to slow his run down and he could pick his line at defenders unlike when Lichaa is throwing hospital passes

 

[JORDZILLA]

ogden looked good when he was on

The drop ball by Mbye took the cake for me

 

[KiwiDog7]

That hit from Ogden chehooooo

 

[Howard Moon]

No doubt if he wants to he will have a long future, just needs to improve his tackling.

For sure, those runs out of our end are invaluable, especially in the second half today

 

[Trafford10]

Just got home from golf.
Looking forward to watching a replay.
So Foran played well and Meaney went well??

 

[coach]

Could defiantly tell we were still paying mbye today

 

[SPEARTAKVIDREFS]

It should have been Napa that did it. Who knew ogden had this in him?

Glad it wasnt Napa. Concentrating on his game and not trying to put in the big hit-ups for the sake of it payed dividends today.

 

[Emdog85]

8 teams on 1 win out of 3, we aren't going so bad now

 

[Heckler]

It should have been Napa that did it. Who knew ogden had this in him?

He's done it a few times.

Best Tackling: Jackson

Most defending against fanua would have stats like that he is a beast

 

[w00t]

Lichaa is still a weak link tbh. Our attack looked instantly stifled when he came on

So Foran played well and Meaney went well??

Foran was all heart today he never stopped going forward on a hurt leg and was unlucky not to have a couple of tries.
Meaney was great in very tricky conditions he has genuine pace.

 

[speedy2460]

The best players on the field were the ones who were the ones most maligned on here.
Even Hopoate had a good game. Just glad Pay is coach and not the kennel members.

 

[The DoggFather]

That hit from Ogden chehooooo

Best part of the game for me, replayed it 5 times to the joy of my son lol

 

[Spoonman84]

Jayden Okunbor had 176m that’s very impressive on debut. Sure the changes to the pack helped but getting sets started on the right note with runs from Jayden and Reimis is invaluable and something we have sorely missed for many seasons.
