Official Round 4 - Dogs vs Storm - Consolidated Match Thread

[Tegga]

A good don’t argue would help too. Played great again today

Yeah I don’t know why he just ran straight and upright without really trying to steam roll Hughes

 

[EXORCIST]

I agree we don’t need two hookers in the team.

Damn straight bro

Probably worked in the lower grades. He’ll learn

You can beat the 13 players on the field, but you can never beat the refs.

Okunbor needs to work on his footwork when he’s in the open, he always heads straight for the fullback and I reckon if he had a step we score of at least one of those breaks he made

Steps and covers about 3m in the process

 

[Longtimedog]

Meaney needs to start to support

Could of got 3 if he backs up okunbur

 

[Spoonman84]

This game reminded me of a 2004 game against Penrith we didn’t win but we went hammer and tong at them and played really well. I’m not saying we will go on to win the comp, far from it but it did give that team a massive confidence boost and the went on a win streak.

If we had RFM for Lichit today, I'm prepared to say we would of held on to our lead. The boys were running on empty and Lichit didn't help at all.

Sorry bro, I dont agree. If you watched the Canterbury Cup, you would drop him to Berala Bears.

 

[JORDZILLA]

Did anyone see vunivalu leg twist on meany.. fkn dirty fk

Lol that bad?

I just think lichit is the biggest waste of space and could of used a big body, especially today.

 

[kungfuman]

Anyone else notice where our last try was scored and where the kick was taken from? Had to be two metres too far towards the sideline WTF

 

[EB18]

Napa Foran play we win by 20.

 

[Bull Terrier]

We can pick bits and pieces that can be done to be better. Storm had the whistle to score some of those tries we Didnt. Ours were scored on our own effort and credit to the boys. But i was on the edge of my lounge chair again and just loved the way they played. Their getting their mongrel the boys and i cant wait till next week.

 

[Bob dog]

Holland should take those pressure kicks from that side , great debut from Cogger.
Now we are competitive we should start winning a few.

I saw that wonder if it gets picked up in the match review being the storm I doubt it

 

[Longtimedog]

Meany should of been with him

 

[KiwiDog7]

Pay looked pissed in the presser

Whilst proud of the side he dropped dig at refs saying we got no 5050 calls

 

[doggieaaron]

Hopefully renouf back next week but ogden should start over napa next week but i bet pay picks sue

 

[dogwhisperer]

No it wasn't... Same thing happened to Okunbor in the second half (tackled before he took a high ball - which he dropped and they scored off) and nothing became of it.

You can't penalise one incident of tackled without suspicion and not another.

When players are contesting the ball there is an allowance for a player to be tackled as he receives the ball.

I agree. In real time it was basically simultaneous. Smith hit him as the ball touched chambers arm. When you slow it down Smith was only a millimeter too early to make contact. It was a harsh call. Technically yeh maybe a penalty try but IMO it’s nitpicking. This is where the refs shit me, they nitpick somethings and let other more obvious things go.

In saying that Smith should of just gone for the ball and punched it dead

 

[Spoonman84]

Hopefully renouf back next week but ogden should start over napa next week but i bet pay picks sue

I doubt Renouf will be put straight back into NRL even with Napa’s injury.

 

[KiwiDog7]

Sue will get recalled no doubt by Pay given he’s been in the 19 last two weeks and is in the leadership group
