[Glenn]

SBW scores from a poor option from John Morris on the last, 20-12

 

[joel caine number 1 fan]

this will be a good loss for the tiger cause it will get rid of morris and bring in head

 

[Knight87]

Official crowd from what I heard: 21,057

Makes the 25,065 in Rd 1 vs Parramatta look very crap

To those who were at the ground today or who saw it on tv, does 21,057 sound right to you?

 

[Dutchy]

26-12

shut the gate

BTW - pre-match..poll was

6 - Dogs
23 - Tigers
1 - Draw

 

[Glenn]

It was a Parramatta "home" game round one, so can't see how the two relate

32-12 nearing full time.

Edit: Fulltime

dont know where the offense went today 1 line break is very un tigers like

dogs and tigers were both awful just dogs halfs were better

Halatau had 172 metres today at centre who ever he was against was awful

a lot was from in-field dummy half runs

The result should re-energize themanonthehill's attacks!

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

great display by the dogs in the 2nd half!

I am happy to see people didn't expect us to win, thats usually when we play decently well. Roosters v Dogs should go off next week cant wait!!

so explain beau ryan's 162 metres down the same side

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

currently 2nd, but its still early. Will help our confidence though heading into the Roosters game

i was happy with our defence, attacked looked a bit shaky i don't think our completion rate would have been particularly good. But still happy about winning by 20.

need to cut those errors out though 16-8 our way is horrible

tigers didnt take the chances which isnt like them at all,also our forwards were beaten, it was the tigers halfs that killed the team

What a great game, sensational win
