The Dogs have gone down hill ever since they lost Shaun Lane.

Any of you merkins still think Kritchard is better than King ?

If so, get a life

The performance over the Broncos appears to have given this team an enormous amount of confidence.

It certainly gave me an enormous amount of confidence. And half a mongrel that won't go away.

What was so interesting about it?

He's definitely better at some things. King has played well enough, and he has a kicking game that Kritchard doesn't have. But he also hasn't really played any good teams other than Brisbane, and he's benefiting from Moses' increased confidence.

If so, get a life

Oh

Don't tell me what to do Twizz.

I'm always interested to read about how we smashed the Dogs.

Oh

yeh, Brisbane are shit aye

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I thought he was ordinary against Brisbane. They wore him out.

 

[Gazzamatta]

I thought he was fantastic against The Broncos. His passing got our forwards over the advantage line and he also earned penalties for the team. He almost achieved your defensive average for a hooker.
I know you made a poor early call on CK Poo but its only you who continue to believe your negativity regarding CK.
CK has been one of the main reasons our forwards are now dominating.
Period. Lol.

Stop being a scapegoating hater Pou.

Or maybe our forwards are helping to make CK play better.

Yeah. They hated Kaysa.

 

[84 Baby]

Why can't people be happy that we'll have 2 decent hookers next season who due to their injury proneness will probably split the season anyway?

 

[84 Baby]

Sorry I meant why can't merkins be happy

 

[T.S Quint]

Yeah. They hated Kaysa.

Thats a stupid argument.
Our forwards are playing better and making more meters. I wouldn't put all this down to CK passing them the ball.

I can however say that our forwards getting faster play the balls is helping CK get out of dummy half easier.

 

[T.S Quint]

I won't be happy until we win a Premiership.

Even then I'll probably say we shouldn't have conceded any points, or something.

Or is it the forwards getting over the advantage line a result of improved DH service culminating in faster play the balls? It all starts with the DH service and if you cant see that well maybe im not the only stupid contributor to this discussion.

I don't know if the dummy half service has improved that much, to be honest.
Defence has improved as well as our kicking game. These things have had more impact on how our forwards are performing than how the dummy half is passing.
