Round 20 v Bulldogs

[maestro1]

we also dealt with another horrible injury to a winger pretty well. We dealt with a premiership contender running out their near full strength way over the cap team in front of their manic supporters. We dealt with a referee who awarded tries based on hunches and we dealt with a bad bunker call on Leilua at a critical time. We came up a minute short of a frickn miracle win, we arent going anywhere this year but at least they showed some pride. I say well coached, really well coached.

FOX mentioned in their broadcast that last nights doggies team was the strongest teams that the doggies have run out all season. Same thing said about the Roosters last week against us.

 

[Dragons4me]

The whole FOX telecast was a Galvin, Doggies, Ciraldo, Chrichton gizzfest. FOX cannot continue like this. Their broadcast cannot continue with this blatant fxcking bias for some teams and against some others. There is no paranoia. The current FOX set up is so fxcking biased against us. Even to the point where we took the game to the "chosen ones" outplayed them over the 80 minutes, got fxcked over by the refs (again and again), the commentators refused to call out the bullshit calls and were praying and hoping that the Salmon dropped balls would be overturned by the Flunker. These commentators were incredulous that we outplayed them and made comment throughout the broadcast on "how is this happening". Then the narrative from that smug prick Ciraldo ........ he did not give any credit to how well we played. He fxcken knew that this win came with the silver service assistance of the FXCKING CORRUPT NRL. Vlandys and that fxcking ABDO can go fxck themselves. And I don't want any comment from Annesley because he can go fxck himself too. So can the MRC and Luke Patten. And did I mention that FOX and that other merkin useless broadcaster (Nein) can also go fxck themselves. And the agenda fxckers on this forum can also go and fxck themselves. Cue the numpty who says he is ignoring me (thank you) who will add a laughing emoji to this comment like he does with all of my comments. THEY can go fxck themselves.
THE Fxcking anger hasn't subsided even after 8 hours sleep. Oh and I forgot Anasta, he couldn't wait to credit Galvin for that win. Is he kidding. The fxcker did nothing for 78 minutes of that game. ANASTA can go fxck himself too.
RANT OVER......

Excellent posts maestro1. Exactly how I feel!

In the same fashion that we say a win is a win (often when we manage to Jag one with our crap style of play), well a loss is a loss regardless of the fashion it comes.

There were still many many dumb moments in tonight's game that we produce week on week such as:

- Suli not passing to Sloan when he'd score untouched.

- Kyle kicking out on the full which lead to a dog's try.

- Kyle kicking a bomb which went nowhere and then giving away a penalty when he launches himself at Harry Hayes' forehead.

- Getting a crucial penalty in the second half only for Kyle to shank the touch finder so we only get a 10 meter advantage.

- Allan not leaping from the in-goal to take a bomb which gives away a line drop out and leads to the match winning try.

- Sloan coming off his wing and letting their winger score untouched.

- Poor last tackle options, including getting tackled on the last, kicking straight to Crichton across field and just watching him catch it.

- Gutho deciding to go short on that drop out at the end and then not even kicking it 10 metres.

- Poor defensive reads and miss tackles on the other dogs tries.

If all of the above impressed you, you're very easily pleased.

Kyle was contesting for the ball, not attacking Hayes' head. That was another dud decision that kept us on the back foot late in the game.
I'm very critical of Coaches Kid but I won't cop that.
Last night was a fix from the get go, and all the stops were pulled out to make sure the favourite won.
At least there was some effort and passion last night, despite the absence of St Val, both Couches (sounds like a JD Vance three-way!!), Tui, Egan etc. That's all I ever ask for.

You raise a great point...... when we dont stand up straight to play the ball (like when KFlann did it against the Raiders) we get punished for that error. When Salmon did exactly the same thing, he got rewarded with a penalty against Luciano. All teams/players, make mistakes, just the chosen team/player has the officials find a way to undo the mistake. Saints don't make any more mistakes on average than any other teams (actually we have a low error rate). It is just that our mistakes are never overturned by the bunker or a Captains challenges and then we get reamed for that mistake. Kikau lost the ball into Sloan but the officials turned it around on us and gave 6 again. Salmon did not get to his feet to play that ball and lost it. The officials turned it around by penalising Luciano. So those two CRUCIAL, CRUCIAL, CRUCIAL decisions don't even register as mistakes by Kikau and Salmon. They actually register as Dragons errors. No doubt in the world, those two decisions handed that Win to the doggies on a silver platter. The NRL can go and fxck themselves

It wasn't Salmon it was Kiraz, clearly you weren't watching the game that closely, unsurprisingly.

 

[Kolum Kid]

There's an old saying that applies to you I'm Hornby. If people think you're an idiot, better to keep your mouth shut rather than confirm it.

 

[jeffdragon]

At what part of the gsme did Kikau pass it forward which hit Sloan if someone cam tell me as I'd rather watch that only then all the official blunders.

 

[RedV72]

And that’s honestly what you take out of that comment? Seriously?

In the latter stages of the game.

The morons has nothing so starts clutching at straws. Salmon, Kiran, does it really matter. The fxcker fucjed up the play the ball and got rewarded for it. Moron troll clutching. A drowning man will grab at a venomous snake to try and save himself. This imbecile is not a Dragons supporter. TROLL of the highest order.
I've left some spelling mistakes so he has more straw to clutching at.

Well said 100 percent correct anyone that can't see this doesn't want to see it

 

[twinkletoes]

Let’s just face the facts… the NRL is corrupt and have secret agendas as to which teams they want to be successful… there’s Bulldogs are one of those teams because of the massive crowd support and Gus Gould. They manipulate outcomes

To suit these agendas

 

[Dragon David]

3 or 4 of those games we got in a position to take a field goal and didn't even set up for it.
You would think at least Gutho has enough experience to make the call.
Again tonight he takes a short drop out when we are up by 2 with 3min left.
Really hoping Atkinson can make a difference next year and it's not just more of the same.

I love Gutho as a player but as a decision maker he’s made some head scratching calls this year.

 

[twinkletoes]

I’m sick of the Kyle bashing…. yes he’s kicking game isn’t great but apart from that I think he plays strongly…. his attack, defence and effort is fine…. he kicked a
Goal from the sideline to give us the lead last night…. other circumstances took the game away from us, but Kyle busted his guts to get the win

at the moment he is the best we’ve got
In that position

 

[UDGE]

Not being a sore loser but seriously.. how do we keep getting stitched up like this?

All the headlines will be Lochie Galvin blah blah.. but let’s not pretend we didn’t get absolutely robbed two sets before that. Momentum changing, bullshit calls that swung the whole game specifically the last 10 minutes.. but surprise surprise, no one in the media will mention it.

This isn’t new. It’s the same tired script every week the NRL and media handpick their golden boys and run the fairytale narrative they want, while the rest of us are left scratching our heads wondering what game the fxcking officials were watching. Fxcking over it

We didn’t lose because we weren’t good enough. We lost because we were up against more than just 13 on the field. And the worst part is nothing will be said. Just another day, another stitch up. Still don’t get the competition points.

NRL’s becoming more about what fits their storylines than what actually happens on the field. I’m so fxcking sick of it.

and yes.. I get it, we need to be better but this has happened too many times this year to us. The teams higher on the ladder ALWAYS get the better of the calls.. it’s disgusting

rant over .. lol

It's very obvious at the end of the game the inept cheating touchie that didn't see either of the forward passes thrown by the mutts in the last two minutes and the other cheating flogg with the whistle gave each other a down low sneaky high five unfortunately for them the camera was right on them their a disgrace and the fact that they can so openly cheat now for the teams on the agenda and not have to answer for anything is an even bigger disgrace shame shame on every single fat cat media outlet and or gambling outlet owner that's involved with this absolute grubs

 

[Dragon David]

I love Gutho as a player but as a decision maker he’s made some head scratching calls this year.

I agree since77.

I was stunned to read that Gutho decided to go for a short drop out with about 3 minutes left on the clock and we had that 2 point lead which we held for what might have felt like an eternity to you viewers or those at the ground (I didn't watch the second half - having dinner with the family so turned off thinking the game was over at 16-6 and most of the calls of 6 agains and penalties going the bloody Dogs way so I thought what's the use). He has been poor most of the time he has kicked short drop kicks - why do it at that stage of the game for Pete's sake?

All that effort by the boys to hold onto that slender lead bombed by that disastrous decision by the co-captain. I'm so effin angry.

You have not once singled out any of our rubbish play last night or any of the dumb things we did that cost us the game.

You've focused on one ref call and tried to make a mountain out of a mole hill, I suggest you and anyone else hung up on that go back and watch the game and try to find some errors that are coachable and we continue to be shit house in each and every week.

The clock is ticking on Flanagan's tenure and so it should be, this is a piss poor season and he is fully responsible for it.

 

[I'm Hornby]

In the latter stages of the game.

What a vague answer, you weren't even watching clearly.

You obviously just watched the press conference but not the game as you support Shane and Kyle, not the dragons.

 

[rasaint]

At the end of the day; you just have to be so good in a game that you take the referee and any really bad calls out of it. We were good last night against the flavour of the month team.

That says Galvin last pass went a metre forward and forward from his hands. Actually he had to loop it forward because Sloan had cut a legal pass off.

Agree and you can't question his effort either
