Bringing the fire back!

[will.i.am]

Made some improvements from previous week and like what others have stated, we must not get ahead of ourselves. The Tigers were missing several big name players and had two injured troops during the game.

It's a step forward but we have alot of improvement ahead of us to even challenge for a top four berth.

We will keep winning

Exactlly!! The bulldogs showed more heart, which was great to see but the tigers were pathetic in attack, you could see they were totally lost without marshall

i don't know but i reckon we're still very bad at attacking but defensively we were great ! Our tries were mostly from tiger errors and if marshall was there it would've been a different game, nothing to be excited about IMO. At the end of the day i'm very happy we did win and got the 2 points

True re the attack but it looked like if we had taken a few more chances, there were a lot more points on offer.

Even the commentators on Ch 9 started on a rant about the general formulaic attack in the NRL.

We had some space and overlaps on the 5th but still kicked it. For the one which started the commentators off we had a 4 on 2 overlap on the last tackle, were about 30 metres out from Tigers line and there was a lot of open space. We kicked the ball to their fb and just surrendered possession instead of moving it through the hands

It was a definate improvement on the Manly game but we will have to keep them hyped up every week because they still may lose determination and become complacent after weekly hard games, sorry bout the spooky war, not my idea..

We turned the corner, more wins ahead, and in a row

What I saw of the game was a lot more fighting spirit and entusiasm which has been lacking in the last month or so. While I was happy to see that, we have to improve in attack. The most important thing I like to see is a bit of passion and I think they showd that although we played the Tigers without Beji and they had 15 on the bench for some of the night. We did do some simple things right for once such as holding the ball better and we got a few repeat sets from dropouts.

 

[Moey]

Even though we showed a bit of ticker, if we played any other team besides the Tigers who were decimated with Injuries we would have lost again. Full-stop. Nothing to get carried away with. It was actually boring to watch and at times embarrassing to see what we were offering in attack.

let me tell u something....look at the tigers team that played last night...it was a team picked to defend and NOT a attacking 1...the only way they were going to score there tries was by luck and not planned ones..of course they would of defended well,it was there job to do so all week during there training sessions.losing 2 players made the tigers more of a defensive orientated team.we did well over all,be happy..

 

[cntrbry bnkstwn]

average performance, good kick chase, good handling for kick return 10/10 however the back line didn't get enough ball!!!!!!! at alllll if not to score. may josh moris's ball but it was a bit late
MICK ENNIS the Mennace

keating could probably put a bit more effort into chasing his own kicks, he seems to do alot of standing around

 

[habs]

I did not see much to be excited about to be honest. The Tigers were garbage last night, and we did just enough to get the win. If the players were feeling the pressure then great, they should of felt the pressure 6 weeks ago. We did just enough to get the win, a typical repeat of any 2010 performance. My views on Kevin remain unchanged, he needs to go.

Exactly. While I'm happy with the win...

- No Benji Marshall, who is their main outlet in attack
- They had 1 player injured early, and another later
- 1 of our tries came directly off a really bad fumble
- 1 of our tries came off the back of an inexcusable fumble

There were improvements in certain areas, but I'm not going to get ahead of myself.

 

[bulldogtimbo]

The BIGGEST improvement on fri night was in our attitude.We looked like we wanted to play,we looked like we wanted to have a real go.Sure,our attack seemed to struggle,esp converting our dominance into points,but that will come.I still think we are yet to fully gel as a unit,but that won't happen if we don't put the effort in week after week.Friday night was the best example of us doing just that since the Dragons game at ANZ.I can handle us getting beaten if we have a real crack,I can't stand what we dished up the previous 2 games.

Think this deserves a bump so we can all have a chuckle.

Seeing what the Eels did to a Tigers side with Benji and Lawrence puts things in perspective

The Eels have a smart alec home ground advantage, away they are ordinary.
