NRL Non bulldogs game day discussion thread - round 6

[dogluva]

Well the Bunker can't overturn anything here because you cannot definitively see the ball on/not on the ground and Henry has ruled try. Rorters are now leading 10-0 ktc.

 

[dogluva]

Sio Siua Taukeiaho looks to be gone. Another forward bites the dust.

 

[Moedogg]

Dylan Napa is on fire. Wish our forwards had that type of aggression...

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Sam Burgess looks like half the player since he came back from that injury...hasn't run hard all game.

if the dogs played with half the l heart of napa we would have 2 grand final trophies for the last 4 yrs

Seems like it is the Roosters turn to be afforded some latitude in the ruck, laying all over Souths.

Agree. Out of sorts.

NRL stats though say he has most metres runs for Souths @ 96m from 11 runs three more than Aaron Gray

Far out, concussion bin gets a workout in the last five minutes- Turner ( for about the fiftieth time in his career) and Evans, now A'vau

He didn't have the impact in his runs that he normally does. He still pumped out massive stats but is lacking in offloads and tackle busts you are used to seeing from him.

Wow how about that Damien Cook

Bloody Souffs .. just blew the chance at giving Roosters a trip to the history books.

Still underdone a bit? I am not sure if he has really got 100% back into the swing of things after returning from Rugby. A massive amount of pressure for him to perform at an even higher level than he did in his last stint in the NRL. Souths and their fans have heaped massive expectations upon him. The injury scare did not help at all.

Here are his stats from the NRL website.

http://www.nrl.com/stats/telstrapremiership/playerstatistics/tabid/10877/default.aspx

Runs 68 All run metres 553 Line breaks 1 Offloads 12 Tackles 99 Missed tackles 9 Errors 2 Kicks 1

Not bad though considering he has missed game time this year.

Love to know how the Rorters win one game and suddenly drop to $23 when the tigs are paying $67, saints $81 & Tits $81... and all of those teams are above the cocks on the ladder.

There must be some high hopes after 1 win... or really stupid Bondi supporters calculating the odds.

They have Cordner, JWH and Pearce still coming back so I guess they think they'll have a late surge.

 

[Chicharito]

Last pass from Norman to Jennings looked a tad forward.

 

[KiwiDog7]

of course Raiders decide to miss tackles making basic defence lapses today v Eels fk this

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Well fuck me, look at parra. What a great style of footy they are playing. Forwards running hard and providing options for the halves, and the halves linking up and playing right across the field.

 

[Beldig]

Reynolds and Mbye should watch and learn how halves are supposed to go to the line. Corey Norman is making a mockery of that Canberra right side simply because he takes the ball to the line

 

[Chicharito]

I gather that they make changes where needed and don't stick to the same "game plan" for the last 3 years? If the dogs play the way parra is at the moment we would certainly be front runners for the premiership.

 

[dogluva]

My heart breaks when I watch other sides play the type of footy our team should be playing. We would have smashed Canberra last week if we had adopted this type of playing style.

It makes me sick tbh. Fuck Des and his footy.

Hold me up. Praise for my Eels. I must be dreaming
