Now to just sort out the first halves so we can control the game instead of having to chase points.

In the last 4 games we have only let in one second half try and that’s against Newcastle.
Very proud of the boys comeback today.
Mate I listened to the game on the radio; they pointed out the shitty referee decisions but did not really paint the picture of a good defensive effort that i saw when I watched the replay. We did well in defence in the second half and some of the hits were brutal.

I know that we will need to play extremely well to win next week but we also need the officials to be fair minded. THAT is the big thing because once again I have seen some atrocious decisions made this weekend in all games...

And seems to be getting better, big change in attitude since Fozzy has returned also..!!
Foran has been dynamic and really involved in the games. He is getting back to his best form of years ago and I can't help but think he is going to repay us in spades. The injury he copped this year was from a freakish clash and he worked extremely hard to get back on field ahead of schedule. I was a bit worried he would be underdone and not fully healed, but he has shown nothing but effort and enthusiasm. His pass to Okonbur was something out of the ordinary and thankfully the young bloke took it and scored a crucial try.

There is a lot of work to do but a lot to like. It will take time.

I watched the game from the stands yesterday and Foran is our only attacking weapon. Cogger runs around like a energiser battery passing the ball like hooker.
My concern is Foran is gaining confidence in his running game and is taking the line on more and more which is his trade mark but it is also why he has spent so much time in rehab

Yes the refereeing is just getting worse and worse each season shake your head at some decisions that are made

Shows that maybe as a team we're not as unfit as we thought.

Also shows the players respond well to Dean Pay at halftime.

Nasheed here (Nash for short if you are busy and want to save time by dropping the 'eed' part),

I actually dont mind Dean Pays gameplans, you get the feeling now we can always create something, that was lacking before he came on board.And we have seen chances being created from nothing.
He just makes bad recruitment and personnel decisions,Lichaa, swapping Holland etc.

Your actually wrong. We have only conceded one try in the second half from our last 5 games. Not the last four.

Are you running for President or PM or something? Do we need to know its Nash here?.I couldnt care less what your name is. We are all effectively anonymous here. We may stand shoulder to shoulder at games and chant Bulldogs bulldogs...but I wouldnt have a clue whether i was standing next to Nick the Greek or smokin Joe or Nash.

You obviously wont good at maths. 1. Souths 2. Cowboys 3. Manly. 4. Newcastle 5. Titians.

Thats 5 not 4. They were our last 5 games. All games only 1 try in total conceded in 2nd half.
