Official Round 9 - Bulldogs vs Dragons Game Day Thread

[Nate DAWG]

You heard me from NZ ?

Maybe I live up the road from the uso!

 

[COVENS]

RFM when he looks at the camera and says ‘we are the Bulldogs and we are here to stay’ fkn good vibe amongst the boys. Great fkn win

Fuckin tough man. We were unorganised, soft through the middle, poorly disciplined but managed to scramble

 

[KiwiDog7]

Where the fk is Marley gone?

His boy balled out and he’s quieter than a church mouse pissing on cotton

We are under strengthened, copped a terrible sin bin but we fought till the end. Win was epitomised by the toughness of burns

 

[Marki]

He doesnt have to score tries to have a big influence ay. Its his energy and smart plays, and he takes on the line and commits defenders before passing. Burton is also starting to look better, more on the ball at 7 than he was at 6.

Soon we will have KO starting and Reynolds off the bench (or visa versa) regularly at 6, at least this year. Not sure if Reynolds goes another year or not.

I could have sworn after the first Averillo try in the first half that JR and KO were in the halves and Burton was.... just used for 5ty tackle kick....

 

[Marki]

Alamoti’s defence today was so much improved. Kid is learning and will only get better

He and Casey did a good job in stopping Suli who I thought would be key to any Dragons victory.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Hunt did his best coward impression today as well.

He dived on the kick pressure which was not late and clutched his leg on the 2 point field goal trying to get a penalty for contact. Embarrassing.

I feel for Casey. Would like to see him as 1st grade standard, but he is definitely not there yet. He sometimes does some nice things in NSW Cup but you just can't make that many mistakes/bad decisions in 1st grade and get away with it.

Casey is not FG standard

 

[steeliz]

Then you have Patolo coming back

At full strength Patolo will be playing NSW Cup

 

[Heckler]

At full strength Patolo will be playing NSW Cup

How good is that....players which were first choice in years gone past are now depth players.

13th
2 points out of top 8
Quite a few above us have had their 2 bye points as well.

I’m still not happy about our -79 against but hopefully we improve on that in coming weeks

Yeah -79 is terrible but hopefully we can improve on it.

Points for and against will be crucial.

Was at the game, thought we didn't play particularly well but grinded out the result nonetheless. Way too many basic errors that completely kill our momentum could have killed us, luckily our defence held on.

Still a lot to work on but very positive signs nonetheless

Oloapu had a very solid debut too imo

Yes these bad handling errors need to be fixed. Bombed a few tries.

He then claimed he copped a cork below the knee in the post match interview which was even more embarrassing [emoji1787][emoji1787]

 

[Yougra]

If he can limit his penalties and dropped ball he’s a decent player
Needs consistency

Yeah agree.

I think he has improved his discipline and now that he has got alot of the dumb plays out of his game is a solid first grader. Not saying he would be in my top 17 if everyone was fit but is a good experienced hard nosed player to have in the squad on the right $$, that you know will do the job if called upon

 

[Yougra]

RFM played much better today.

Yep, I thought it was his best game of the year. He made good yards and was just involved more. It's what we need from him
