Bulldogs Maul Roosters 38-6

[100% Warriors]

The Bulldogs have won back-to-back games for the first time since round 4 with a damaging 38-6 win over the Sydney Roosters at Telstra Stadium.

Sonny Bill Williams was dynamic outwide, scoring a double and causing headaches for the Roosters defence all night.

Brent Sherwin was back to his 2004 form with countless try assists and probing runs while winger Cameron Phelps bagged a double late in the game.

Prop Jarrad Hickey joined the party as he crossed for his own brace of tries.

[Goz]

was good but considering the way the roosters played and the mistakes they made we should of hit the 70's, could improve heaps, but sonny b back at his best i think

He said he played well but wasn't happy with a few of his options. I think he was referring to Shifty sending the play wide instead of letting the forwards go through the middle. Folkesy is a hard task master. I thought it was Shifty's best game since 04. Great game by him and obviously SBW.

 

[DoGs_R_dA_bEst]

i was thinking b4 the game ended that phelps, hughes or sbw to get mom

 

[siklebo]

am i the only one who saw how bioest the ref was against nik koops?!?! like c'mon geting 2 penalties in the 1st half and then he got pushed over and got nothing, did the ref have his eyes closed???!

Williams was exceptional... strong in attack and defence, dangerous, great off loads, and pretty much as good a performance by a second rower as i have ever seen... unfairly not awarded a try when it definitely looked as if he got to the line... and even if it was not conclusive, should have been given with benefit of the doubt

Sherwin was fantastic... very good kicking game, excellent passing, but the best aspect of his game was his running at the line

that was Phelps' best game in the top grade

Hickey did well leading from the front... i still believe he needs to lose weight

Tonga was very strong, especially in defence

Millard is really developing

Patten, Roberts, Hughes, Cleal and Kouparitsas were good

i was very impressed with the way Wheatley and Morrin handled the front row considering Wheatley has little experience and Morrin is traditionally a second rower

that said, the Roosters were awful and should be lynched by their fans

 

[bLaQDoG..]

Easily one of the best games of the year if not THE best performance of the year... they just seemed to glide to victory! The way a number 1 team is meant to play

 

[Chicharito]

great win...everyone played well and we deserved the win tonight....hopefully we can keep it up

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

great game to watch, good to see us with 2 consecutive great games, hopefully 3 consecutive games after sunday.

 

[Roll the Bones]

Best they played in a long time, and without 4 of their big name players plus another couple out injured. The Roosters were truly awful though. This Sunday against the Sharks should be a cracker.

 

[PHELPSY]

Way to go BULLDOGS!! Awesome flogging!

 

[wyongguy]

good win, just a pity anasta and myles wern't playing.

oh come on leave shifty alone hes doing great, those conversions r tricky and he almost cried out... good kicks and flicks setup tries.

The return of Dougy the Pizza boy!

 

[Bob dog]

It was great to see a confident comprehensive win over our old archrivals,the Bulldogs were poetry in motion smashing everything in their path,couldnt of asked for a bigger effort.

 

[Matty B]

Great performance. Special mentions to Williams, Sherwin, Phelps, Hickey and Maitua and congrats to Nanai and Wheatley in their first top grade match for the Bulldogs.
