A schoolboy halfback would have closed out the game today.

But he looks so relaxed when he puts up those bombs..
I used to think that, but I've since realised that there is nothing behind the blank stare, as he stands rooted to the spot thinking what to do; and the only thing that comes to mind is "kick it really high up into the air". He is given time by the opposition because it suits them to let him do the only kick he knows how to do - they're ready to take advantage, and don't need to muck up a winning tactic.

I agree with you, but that goes for Wakem, & Cogger as well it's time to dig into the war chest and get a specialist Half, my dream would be if they could coax Melony back from England & Pair him up with Burton from Penrith and put them in Bulldog Jumpers.
I'd be happy to offer Marshall a one year deal.

Confirmed in the press conference that Georgallis asked Foran at half time can he continue and Foran said no because he has hurt the same toe he had operated on.
He said in the press conference that it was he’s foot that stopped him from going back

Sorry I have to disagree. Not saying Wakeham or Cogger are answers cos neither of them are. But they close this game out.
I think Cogger is the better of the 3 at this stage

I don’t think it was the fault of the halves. All Dragons points came directly off Bulldogs mistakes.

First; Crichton’s laughable attempt at catching a bomb.
Second; Tolman defending on the edge, got beaten easily by Colon. Why was Tolman out there?
Montoya’s mistake I don’t need to go into lol.

Positive thing was when we did attack, we looked a lot more free, and there was an element of Georgallis there wanting us to just have fun and enjoy it.
Feels like they played 65mins of Georgallis ball then reverted back to dean pay rubbish for the last 15 lol

Lewis not finding touch was a turning point
Yes that didn't help but a couple of dropped passes is what lost us the game. Lewis's second half wasn't great but he played well while with Foran. Once he became the whole focus of our attack he went to shite. For someone who is clearly not a half he played ok. Made a couple of key errors near the end but by then the whole team was playing like crap except for Thompson who looks like he should be playing for the Roosters instead of our reserve grade side.
