I think the big problem with the first half was how easy it was for the Sharks to target Flanagan. Suddenly when Wakeham got his hands on the ball we started to look way more dangerous simply because the defense has to contend with two halfs instead of one. I like Flanno but we're kidding ourselves if we think he can do it without a solid 6. Burton can't get here fast enough

My 2c

Allan - good game, potential
DWZ - absolutely useless
Hoppa - I honestly think h4 needs a new club
Meaney - Basic and very avge
Wakeham- ok game but looked better 2nd half
Flanagan- still finding his feet
Jackson - looks lean fit and better at lock
Elliot- can't stand the dog cnut
Wadell- wasn't flash at all
Ogden- love this bloke, needs to offload more
Katoa - better option than Jmk. Stopgap hooker
Hetherington- underwhelmed

ATONI is gonna only get better
Deitz top game

Lewis is fcuking useless
Rest had ok games

We wont set world on fire this year but promising future ahead for the Dogs

Hetherington was strong he got better as the game went on
I just don't think he's dominant enough to play prop...never thought he was in the first place so probably won't change my mind until I see it. Would probably be more effective playing lock behind two dominant props or on the edge like at the Warriors.

He is a bench prop being paid a bench wage.

Thompson and Napa our our starters. He will come on in stints for them. I dare say the way he played tonight he will be an above average benchie.

In the first half, the dogs were playing well within themselves, nothing flash of expansive, I hope this was deliberate...
This will be the make or break year for Lewis, if he can deliver the goods under Baz its by-by prince of Belmore.
Make or break FG first

He’s way down the pecking order

That was good stuff in the second half.

Same old one out hit ups and no backline ball movement first 40 but wow they really moved up a few gears in the 2ndhalf.

Quicker ptb, forwards ran onto the ball and made ground.

2nd half they looked like they could construct attacking plays and all contributed.

A few stood out and a few made the same bad passes and decisions.

I think we can safely say they will improve, they are fit and well coached and Barrett knows what is required for this team to succeed.

Early days but we are on the way up and look like they can play entertaining football.

Was just going to say this, we'll have a good forward rotation of Hetherington,Ogden and Renouf on the bench
