NSW CUP - The Minor Premiership decided this Saturday!

[Mr Invisible]

Mistake by Dogs from kick off. Tigers over.
Aside from Browne and aalalota (sp?) No one can hold a ball in the forwards.

Dogs 18 Tigers 10

 

[Mr Invisible]

Dogs narrowly avoid another try against them. Great defence.

 

[Mr Invisible]

FFS 5th tackle kick out on full. Tigers in good field position and make Dogs pay.

Dogs 18 Tigers 14

All tigers at moment.

 

[Mr Invisible]

Tigers toss it over sideline yet Dogs lose scrum. No idea how as nearest Dogs player was 10m away.

 

[Mr Invisible]

8 to go
Same score.

 

[Mr Invisible]

Lett over
Dogs 24 tigers 14
3 to go

 

[Mr Invisible]

FFS Fifita soft try
Full time Dogs 24 tigers 20

 

[OTTO]

Hopefully thats all the mistakes out the way for the rest of the year now.

Cheers for updates

 

[Old Bulldog]

I guess motivation was missing. Can't wait for next week.

 

[Baghdatis]

Thanks for the updates mate.

 

[GTJOHN]

be back platying as well....
Once again Congratulation Bulldogs NSW cup side

 

[Mr Invisible]

No problems. Full strength next week with Romelo, Warburton, Hodgson, and Reynolds back.


Are Roberts, Wright illegible?

We play tigers again next week.

 

[Baghdatis]

No problems. Full strength next week with Romelo, Warburton, Hodgson, and Reynolds back.


Are Roberts, Wright illegible?

We play tigers again next week.

I'm pretty sure Roberts is. Not too sure about Wright. On the positive we have Warbs, Paea, Reynolds, Romelo etc 100 % playing in the finals.

I'm really thinking about coming out to Belmore next week to watch our side full of first graders. What sort of crowd do you reckon we'll get for this?

 

[phelps_fan]

Great to see the boys get the minor premiership. I wasn't able to make it out there today, but will definitely be there next week.

 

[will.i.am]

I am gutted that I wont be in town for this.

But I know that many of you guys will make the trek there to check out the redevelopment of Belmore and to of course watch the game.

 

[Mr Invisible]

Sadly I'm out for next week too, as I'm covering and involved with Rally of Coffs Harbour - World Rally Championships

=============

Based on todays performances the only ones worth a mention were:

THE OKAY/BAD:
Foster - Couldn't hold a ball. His handling will be the reason he won't see first grade for a while. Even simple balls he couldn't catch.
Taakimoeaka - Same problem as Foster.
Alaalatoa - Had a quiet game.
#22 - Unsure who it was, but played wing and dropped a few balls.

THE GOOD:
Pumipi - Was okay, but nothing brilliant.
Lett - Tried to take a ball on the fly and dropped it cold, but scored the winning try.
Goodwin - Solid but not spectacular.
Morrin - Lacks impact but safe.
Browne - Seriously this bloke is going to be a star. Strong runs, a few REALLY nice offloads, and is incredibly mobile for such a big bloke. Seems to have excellent fitness too as can play long stints without getting puffed.

I'd expect Browne to push for a bench spot next year. How Manly let this bloke slip through their cracks I don't know, because he will be a star in the future, I'm sure of that.
