Official Round 14 vs the Roosters

[Nate DAWG]

We did well considering we lost our leader and hooker and had to play a prop at hooker for 60 odd mins

We do don’t just lose him. Clearly raised knee and no one says anything. Not like Sua’ali’i had a history of raising the knee

 

[The DoggFather]

Could you imagine what we would be like without him he’s literally the only half we have. The Kid just isn’t it

He isn't a shit player, just a shit half who shouldn't be there without a real half next to him.

 

[Robbothedestroyer]

Let that one slip.
Credit to Tpj really put in today.
Perham is putrid need another option is papalli ready ??
Okunbur should never play first grade again offers nothing.
Maybe time for Ko to have a spell on the bench and give rajab a run a half to see what he has got.

 

[707_2Belmore]

He finished the game at stand off and Oloapu was hooked …..only came back cos HIA to Edwards

I didn’t realise KO had been hooked until the Edwards HIA. Interesting.

 

[LFC Bulldogs]

Another NRL match where “dubious refereeing has altered the result.

 

[Docta]

I am starting to have serious doubts about KO. I was (and still am) hoping he comes gold and lives up to his hype. He has been pretty average since he was promoted. He seems to slow down and pass the ball one out to an inside man or which stifles our attack or takes an ineffective hit-up while pretty much at a standstill at the line. His clearing kicks are not effective often straight to the opposing player and just seems to just be in cruise control the whole time.

Even rajab, within limited minutes, looked more direct and had nice touches with his passing.

 

[djdeep4172]

Burton out
Olapau out
Reynolds and Rajab in

 

[Nate DAWG]

That pass was line ball to averillo

Line ball = not forward

 

[LordSidious66]

Yup not a forward pass. Ref missed a whole bunch of roosters forward passes. So many.

Remember, coach Ciro says, "No excuses."

 

[maltalian_dog]

He isn't a shit player, just a shit half who shouldn't be there without a real half next to him.

I’m still yet to see the hype around Oloapu yes he’s young but still he doesn’t have the attributes of a half decent 5/8

 

[Eesma]

Same. Speaks volumes to his level of impact.

 

[Bazildog]

We werent bad at all despite how much some ppl will rage about it. Low mistake rate, roosters played well. Particularly Tedesco who was out to prove something today. Thought we did well for losing our 9 at halftime against a side expected to play finals.

Agree. Avos break should have been a try as it wasn’t a forward pass and we win the game. We did enough to win the game a few times but made some dumb plays.. I hate losing games like this especially off the bye when the Roosters are on a losing streak..

We should be on 14 points

 

[pillow]

CC needs to get serious, we can’t win with shit ***** like Sutton, perham and waddles in our top 17. Did Sutton even play in the second half? Useless. Perham is the worst fullback in the comp. Waddles is just not first grade standard.

 

[Renegade]

Love the fox and what he has bought to the club and for the tries he scored today but some costly errors from him today

 

[Robbothedestroyer]

No leadership once Mahoney went down burton MIA as per usual.

 

[B-Train]

Burton out
Olapau out
Reynolds and Rajab in

Please.. That's ridiculous

 

[707_2Belmore]

this… so fucking dumb. play the whistle

What I was yelling at the tv. I should go and tell it at his fence haha he lives on my street

Yes.
Roosters controlled the middle from our one man pack.
They always looked likely to score whenever they went wide by way of quick play the balls.
Doggies backline doesnt get a real chance when our forwards get dominated and consequently have slow play the balls.

We all should have known Teddy would have a blinder today.

 

[blah]

Joey is doing it with no hands for Tedesco rn

 

[CMP]

Roosters were shit, we were shitter. Just dumb fucking plays and not knowing how to ice a game. Next year can’t come fast enough.

What’s going to change next year?

Are we signing a game managing organising 7?

With our current halves combined with a piss weak middle rotation we need multiple roster changes to change anything next year.
