Round 11 Dogs vs Raiders - NRL Team and Discussion Thread

[DogsFan4Life]

IMO, Graham plays we win. No Graham, no hope.

HAHAHAHA bump lol

 

[Bitemarks]

What annoys me is that first 20 mins we had depth in attack. Then we clocked off and returned to the good old flat attack. Why Des why?

 

[DogsFan4Life]

Did you mean 2-3 metres more than expected?

12 runs for 141m (Nrl.com stats) (144 on League Live app)

He made one line break from kas ball off the kick off lol ,doesn't show a reflective stat of the way he played the game tbh

More than happy with the 2 points but we are not beating top 4 teams with the defence.

I just dont get it how can our forwards ran out of petrol in the second half when raiders did all the defense in the first?

At the end of the game possession was 50-50 but our players were 10 times more tired than raiders.

Something is absolutely wrong how we train/ eat or play the game.

We can't handle a quick play the ball plus Hasler again saved kaufusi until late and then he was off after a few minutes

Lots of positives and negatives about this game.
Reynolds and Mbye must stay together as they were great.
Tolman is a workaholic.
Pritchard turned back the clock.
Kasiano played well. Needs to be fitter.
Lichaa played well and will get better.
Rona is a better centre than a winger. Big and strong.
Lafai should not have played. Was pathetic until injured.
Need a FB with some speed.
Essesse would have been better than Fualolo

Good call-spot on-especially the Lafai one.
Rona did go well in Centres.
Do we ever need a FB with speed!!

our rotation was down but i agree, even with the controlled pace, kicking for touch and many tries/minutes of recuperation, we still looked like a piece of crap at the end, but we got a small 2nd wind after they drew level

 

[sgodllubsti]

the club need to approach the nrl in a formal way and lodge a complaint regarding the on field treatment given to josh reynolds from the referees, today was a blatant attack on reynolds from the referee.

I think our boys too much weight training to stay big instead of doing cardio for longer periods.

well thats pretty dumb from coaching point of view.

Almost every other team wins over us when it comes to stamina and endurance, even when the opposition team has had less possession.

We never seem to make more than 25 m in a set. rarely we see us making more than 50 m in a set.

Gus hit the nail on the head when he said, even when we offload to our players we are standing so flat and lethargic that offload is of no use.

 

[lafai]

My prediction: Reynolds to kick the winning field goal.

Aha sick ****

 

[Chicharito]

Problem is that we have a couple of lazy defenders in the team and some of the tries could had been prevented had their mentality in defense been different imo.

 

[Thehighballl]

Told yall dogs will win.

 

[doggieaaron]

Alot better atracking structure ,with a speedy fullback in bmoz and james g and the same halves we will be alot better

 

[gazza]

led 26 nil by moving up in defence and being deeper in attack so that in both attack and defence they were moving forward with momentum when they met their opposite. And then they stopped. Reverted to the way they have been trounced all season. In defence they waited on their line and walked backwards when their opposite arrived and stood flat footed in attack not moving forward until they received the ball - with the result Canberra had the momentum. Basic physics.

 

[coach]

You're a fukwit. I knew you couldnt wait to bag Lafai.

Did he fuk your mother or sister or both?

Tagged both up

I don't reckon thats true... hasler back in the day was a fitness freak.

but maybe you're right though.. Jmoz has bulked up like crazy, as has Lafai.

 

[vietorious]

So how offside was Mitch Cornish?

It's his first game back for injury and this c*** lays into him.

What did he exactly do wrong?

 

[JUNKYARD DOGS]

How good did Rona look at Centre. Played well, just wish we got him more early ball. Loved the first 20 mins. Best I've seen from us in a long time.
Think. We have found our halves too.
Need to find a goal kicker now though.

 

[JUNKYARD DOGS]

I thought he was offside too. I also thought their first try should have been checked a couple of times. Looked an ordinary put down to me.

 

[immortalbulldog]

I don't get why Hasler plays our back 3 all out of position. You can't tell me a specialist fullback couldn't have stopped 3 of their tries by simply being in the right place
