If the Bulldogs are to win this game, we have to grasp the concept of support play.
There have been numerous occasions where Willie Mason and particularly, Sonny Bill Williams have broken through then got the arm free but there have been no runners for them to pass the ball to. Guys like Holdsworth, Patten and Hughes need to be there to get these offloads. If we can starting getting these offloads then we'll be in business. Willie Tonga's had the same problem, he's getting the arm free alot, but with no support, half the time its been because Phelps has been out of position.
From my end our defence has been good, no improvement needed there really, but if we pick up our support play, we'll be devestating.
The X factor against us is Steve Price and Ruben Wiki. When those two come back on, the Warriors will lift, big TIME. They're what Mason is to us, to the Warriors.
Our best players so far have been Sonny Bill and Willie Tonga, along with Mason. Hopefully that continues.

the ref is a ****!! stupid penalties being given..
also im surprised all the warriors tries have been on hazems wing! first time ive seen it exposed the way it has..and the call by the ref just before sonny bill scored was just wrong!!
Nah it was right, he knocked on, but he shouldve gone to the video ref. It's not surprising that Manu is catching out Hazem, he does dwarf him. We need a big winger desperately.
We'll win this game.
