Stoopid ref. That robbed the game of a spectacular individual special moment :(
Yep, when does a ref ever call the penalty before the play even stops? WTF? Wonder if JAC just kept running, puts the ball down and we challenge? Can we do that in theory?

Good to see a busy, solid game from Topine. Also for Edwards to get a few runs & tackles on his debut. Importantly no errors.

We need to be careful of an ambush like last week, I don't think the Knights have the firepower to do it but it's still on the cards if we clock off...

Watching braith speak with Cronk an Parker at half time… his smile and excitement, definitely loving the way his doggies are playing at the moment. Think we all are :hearteyes: !!!
Can't stand Braith anymore, but will say I enjoyed the half time analysis: all bulldogs/burto/fox praise, and barely any mention of the knights

No cause the Ref blew his whistle

Just imagine if we had no Barrett from the beginning of the season. As good as it is seeing this it’s also frustrating. We are too 8 worthy!
Spot on. We had the players, thanks to Barrett, but his coaching skills were hopeless. If potter was from round 1, we would easily be top 8

Was about to comment on this, it’s like he read your posts after the last game. Good to see him changing it up a bit.
His developing really well looks calm and collected, great kick placements mixing it up with the bombs, passing game and decision making has improved notably. How was Barret so utterly useless he had Burton looking like a Lachlan Lewis.

He has been here for less than a season, but it feels like we are getting better use out of JACs speed then the Strom did in 5 seasons. C. Smith would occasionally put in a kick for him, maybe twice a season. Feels more and more like they didn't appreciate what they had.
We had trouble scoring close range tries apart from JMK occassoinally. Maybe the Burto/JAC combination came brewed from them 2 trying some other way to cross the line now that the shackles are off. I dont know. We did score a good close range try in the first half.
