great game of footy. i didnt make it to the game but it felt like a semi final type game/atmosphere on the tv.

i thought the tigers were the better team and unlucky to lose. was stoked with the effort actually. if lawrence stayed on, we probably win as he would have either scored off the farah grubber or passed to galea on the inside who scores. no idea what hanbury was doing.

still it was 4 tries all, they scored 3 tries off kicks, marshall was out, lawrence and heighington went off injured and morris was halfback.

i thought farah outplayed ennis quiet easily. i have no doubts if the dogs were missing kimmorely we would have won by some margain. ennis wouldnt have been able to keep the dogs in the game with no halfback like farah did for us. three brilliant try assists (should have been 4 if hanbury could catch and pass) and great deft kicking.

on the ellis ruling, it was correct. i dont agree with it however it was correct. theres no doubt at all that if ryan didnt impede ellis he would have shut down the offload therefore shutting down the raid. personally i dont think ryan should have to get out of ellis's way as he didnt change his line, however they are the rules.

would have been interesting to see the match go to golden point.. although if wests tigers cant kick a conversion what chance have we at got kicking a field goal

Wrong thread. You are obviously talking about last weeks game.

BTW at least 3 of the Tigers tries came directly from Bulldogs unforced errors.

As opposed as the Dogs getting into good field position on the back of Ennis.

tigers did outplay us, but we always looked like we could up the ante if we had to. I always thought we were going to win the game.

In your opinion. I thought Dogs were the better team.

I thought the Tigers were the better team. If they had a goalkicker they would of won.

Farah had a better game than Ennis. Both look like they'd do the job in Origin if called upon though.

Good effort by the Tigers. After Marshall got ruled out I thought 13+ for sure. Then again, I don't think the Dogs are all that either.

What a brilliant game - both teams were outstanding and gave us an excellent display to savour. It's games like this that make me watch Rugby League.

The Tigers were fantastic. They were always going to be up against it with their injuries and whilst I felt that the Dogs were always going to get the result - the Tigers ensured that they were never comfortable.

Farah won the battle of the hookers by my way of thinking - but Ennis was not far behind him at all. I still believe that BOTH these players should feature in Origin with Farah being the bench player that will come on a wreak havoc later in the game.

If only every game of rugby league was half as good as this one. Well done BOTH teams. It's a pity either of you had to lose. Maybe the NRL could donate the 2 points they stole off the Dogs to the Tigers for such a valliant effort
