I seriously doubt he ran 100+ m

Stats's I've seen say all of Allwood, Kata, Peyrouz, Wright, Matulino, Vete, Mannering and Thompson went 100+ metres, and RFM 99

Only Lousi, Lisone and Seb did little, and to be fair didn't have big minutes

There was a concerted effort (finally), still many mistakes - and imo the Dogs were awful, yet at the end of the day scored whenever they needed to, and won - to a degree of the back of our mistakes

I've been caught out by this before... early last year, or maybe 2013 - they adjust the numbers at some point after the game (usually overnight) as they are often incorrect on the live run-through. Looking now, Peyroux made 67m from 9 runs, 2 tackle breaks, 24 tackles (with 2 ineffective and 2 missed for an effective tackle rate of 85.7% - good for a centre), 1 offload, 2 errors and 2 penalties conceded.

The others all went 100+, as well as Lolohea (and RFM, with Hoffman 98).

It wasn't just our mistakes the Dogs were scoring off, but the ref's also. But yeah, they were very bad for the most part.. particularly the 1st half.

3. Matulino - what a difference he can make. Notice that big Bulldogs pack was equalled, even bettered.
2. Vete - looks so mature. Felt for his mate Lisone though, he's been good this year too, but cost us the game last night with late error. As someone already mentioned though, what's a front-rower doing up in the 4th tackle, with no chance of barging over the tryline?
1. Townsend - his final game for us and one of his best, shame it wasn't a final.

Hon. Men. The away fans, glad they got a really exciting game, one we should have won.

HM: Thompson (love his attack lines); Allwood for looking like he belongs in first grade, haven't seen him in the open, but I imagine he is quick, certainly great acceleration; Everyone did okay actually.

Apart from tearing my hair out over the dropsies near the doggies line in the first half, I enjoyed the game and appreciated the effort made by the warriors. I was super impressed by Vete, sought out a lot of work, ran hard as hell, and was hunting hard to make tackles.

Can't quite give Vete points, he had a really good game going forward, but 4 missed tackles (and another ineffective) while playing in the middle and not actually making that many overall (19)? Ugh. He was there for that dummy half try, wasn't he?

Yep, he was - he does some high profile stuff which people notice, but many holes in his game, he wasn't that good imo

3- Matulino. No reason to not give him 3 just because he gets them regularly. Solid year for him, for my mind the POTY over Mannering
2- Lolohea
1- Vete

Think everyone's got a point on Vete. He is very suspect on D, which at a guess is his still coming to terms with how to be an NRL/league defender and maybe a touch of lack of confidence (coming with the fact no one in our club is taught to defend properly). But the kid has massive heart, I'm a fan. Once he irons the creases out of his D he'll be a top-class prop for years to come. Lisone is also a good kid who doesn't deserve any vitriol for happening to be the one person to drop pill in the second half. Lousi is the one who made the pathetic air swipe on Graham.

Yeah, good work Meth.

Negative points for muppet performances next year would be good please. Then we can really measure the performance (not just when they play good....)

Cheers
