Lewis doesn't offer much in attack does he.
Would like to see if its seriously tactics though... Will know if they change when they actually try to win not stay in grind towards the backend of the game.

Proud as punch with the effort and defensive steel. The attack is a basket case Wakeham NEEDS ball we aren’t winning it with literally everything going through Lewis. The only time we have had a result at the end of the tackle count is when Wakeham kicked it. Mix is up and give Wakeham a chance to do something!

Defence is good. Attack isnt better than the Eels defence atm. Need someone to break the line. They are targetting poor old DWZ. I dont think he has had a ball to catch without an eels player on top of him.

Halftime score is about right. Both teams defended well, resulting in both attacks failing to score a try. Sadly an Okunbor out wide, or even a CHN would have helped our line break ability.

Anyone see how Lewis went out his way to cock block wakeham just before Stimson gave away that dumb penalty?

Was a tough half. Dogs D is way better than early 2019. Wakeham needs to show some attack, take on the line in this half, Lewis is running the team around well.

Footy is an 80 minute game ..

Love the effort and if we continue like this it’ll keep us in games but I think last quarter is where we’ll lose games due to not enough points able to be scored

Tactics costing us big time, defensively we are playing tough and fighting for everything.
Its done us well so far considering the completion rates and should probably be up 4-2. Probably see this for another 10-20 then tactics will change and dogs will start shifting the ball.

Stimson not really on the ball tonight. First game jitters. Hopefully comes good
Yeah, I'm seeing the same thing. Has tackled pretty well, but looks a bit nervous, and got the timing on Gutherson wrong.
