hutchinson was terrible. sexton needs to be starting rnd1

 

[Aristidiz]

Outside of kicking has Burton been playing?

He has been worse than Hutch in attack. Yes he had two good kicks, but 0 line breaks and 0 linebreak assists vs Hutch's 1 line break

 

[Doggystyle99]

What’s with Mahoney not being able to make his mind up at ruck and looking so erratic. It’s stunting our go forward. Is it because he’s used to having the likes of Moses/brown and Paulo demanding the ball?

 

[Moey91]

Our defence has been way better than that easy try! We would usually let teams score within the first 5 minutes

 

[Freakzilla]

Sexton wins the race for the 7 surely.. positive signs all round we have the physicality and the fight in us to be competitive just need to cut the silly errors.

This is the same coach who played Perham until round 19 last year…

 

[The DoggFather]

The entire spine has been absolutely pathetic, offering zero with the ball. Burton kicking well is the only positive from those 4 players.

Nothing we didn't know from 3 years ago, no HB and no middles.

Defence appears to be better.

 

[Doggiezbrah]

Seen enough of Hutcho.. bring on Sex.

Besides that one break, I have not been impressed. I think Taaffe will be the new Perham. We need to try Tracey back there once fit. Curran has been great since coming on.

 

[Cook]

First ten to fifteen mins I think it was, we dominated game. Then all went to shit.

 

[Berries]

Dogs been told specifically to tackle practice.
Entertainers will be unleashed vs parramatta.

Is there an article confirming this?

 

[Old Man JB]

Yes, best player on the field

 

[djdeep4172]

Jason Taylor please get the boys to run at pace when passing In The backline please.
Slow motion attack won’t cut it mate

 

[King Gus]

CC defensive systems !

Bro

 

[Bulldog1966]

Keen to see how Sexy goes in the second stanza.
I don’t mind Hutch but think Sexy is hungrier to make the 7 his own. Let’s see…

Optimism isn't allowed in this thread Dink lol

You just complimented Burton? You all g

No mate just an opinion

 

[Psycho Doggie]

Defence continues to look better than last season, the line speed through much of that half was good. The occasional promising sign in attack, but overall very clunky. Three times a left to right pass off the ruck or one off the ruck went to ground. Burton's strategic kicking game was very good, and I was not expecting to say that.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Farmer-Silly was going well until he fatigued.

Wilson, Hutchison shocking.

Mahoney's service got worse with the fatigue of tackling and getting rolled in the middle.

 

[Berries]

Bro

I know! How bad was it mate!

 

[Moedogg]

Burton did not look threatening at all, he just sits back and waits for the ball to come to him. You'd think our star player would get his hands on the ball more often.

I can’t already with Taaffe lol. I want to see Burton and Sexton in the second half.
