You mean at the death? Yeah, agree. With Burto’s ‘big boot’ it was worth a shot. Funny how just before half time a few Dogs supporters at the game were yelling to ‘Take the 2!’ when we got the penalty. I didn’t get that - would’ve made it 14-10 at best. When Soufs took the two to go up 18-12 that made sense - Dogs had to score twice to win and of course we didn’t.

Just a winners mentality, Panthers and Cleary would attempted it

thought Taafe was good today. Burto is not filling me with confidence. I’ve been in he’s corner from the start but today annoyed me. Curran was a beast, best for me

Had a good first half.. couldn't bear leaving the structures in the second half when he just needed to run the effin ball after our right side attack collapse.

With a 7 that had half a clue we would have won comfortably

It was a desperate attempt can't blame the guy.

Honestly we were the better team but to be honest I like CC but I think this one is on him a d his staff for not being more expansive with the ball close to the line.

Time to give the real tryers and effort players in the team the assistance in the spine they deserve and put in the best players in their best positions and who have the most improvement in them for the future. Settle on that, with what we have, and let them get to the next level. Ciro is too stodgy with his selections and rotations. He needs to go up a knotch along with his players and gameplan.

They look like they are ready to advance to handle attacking structures now that their defence is reasonably ok.

Maybe that’s where Critta needs to show leadership. Reed looks like he’s ready to do whatever he wants to do but maybe he’s forgotten - he’s no longer skipper…

Seen it a few times

He had ample opportunity to at least change direction and minimise contact after JAC crossed to sideline but chose to be a grub and go for full contact

I agree that he could have changed his point of contact, but this is a team that has lost 3 games, is under the pump and if he plays soft in that play, he feel the wrath of his coach and teammates.

A player defending his line like that shouldn't have to be thinking how he should play soft to avoid hard contact with a guy trying to score against him.

It goes against the fabric of the game.

 

[chemdog]

if Hutchinson had actually passed it to Taaffe instead of taking the hit up we would of scored in the corner

Just stop.

JAC has both legs out in front of Mitchell. Who is still on his feet. How about this angle then?

Thats after the above because now we have all of JAC in touch. And you want to argue its a football play?

You trolling bro.

Happens so often by so many FBs.

Mitchell is just wired to be a bitch as wants to hurt not defend.

This is not defending your line, this is wanting to cause damage.

No doubt Sutton would have called no try....Hughes has his hand on Murray!

 

[chemdog]

which is why sexton should be half back from now on

hutch offers nothing other than great defense. I actually reckon we’d be better off with flanno

wouldn't surprise me lol

flanno had no vision either when he played for us

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Hughes and Morrin were sloppy.

I don't know what happened to Billy Idol either.

 

[Sandra's Bollocks]

Why does Hutchison think he's a forward ffs?

Stupid c**t.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Morrin could be dropped based off todays game.

 

[rainman]

He was one of our best today.. I reckon if he touches the ball more in the red zone we dismantle their line more.

He did play ok today but isn’t a tackle buster and dosnt make many metres
