09 :: R22 Sat :: Bulldogs 23 Raiders 20 @ ANZ

I like Harrison he has probably been the Raiders most consistent player. He just needs the odd rest I think because he makes some dumb mistakes late in the game.

Been saying it all season for Harrison, he has moments where he goes missing and other moments where he makes a crucial mistackle or error.

The dogs are in trouble. The dragons will have them for breakfast at the moment.

Can someone explain to me why the Raiders didn't set up for a field goal with about 5 left, instead of useless cross-field kick? It's like they were too scared to go the extra 10 and were looking for the miracle.

Ref told 'em to do it.

ROFL!!!!! I was waiting for that.

Unlucky for the Raiders. They had the Dogs on the ropes there at the end and were really on a roll.

Campese should of made the decision to go for field goal or run it, not dance. His indecision really hurt them. I thought they should of gone for the win. They had two or three tackles up their sleeve and were rolling right over the top of the Dogs.

i think the Bulldogs are just coasting at the moment. I'm tipping them to start playing semi-finals football 2 weeks out from the finals, and be back to their best then. Obviously we won't go far in the finals with performances like that, but to me we're not playing with intensity because we don't need to. What's the point of peaking 2 months too early like the Dragons have? If the Dragons are still playing their best in the grand final then good on them that's an awesome effort. I like our preparation better at the moment

Dogs would want to lift the intensity soon or they could drop a game or two and fall out of the top 2. If Canberra had a goalkicker (or a brain) they win tonight.

Dogs defence has been very leaky, particularly the left side. Josh Morris has missed a stack of tackles in the last fortnight - if he's not careful Willie Tonga will carve him up next week

 

[ozzy_ozman]

the way how we are playing... im really concerned how are we going to turn up in the semi finals...

we are semi finals team but not playing like one...

we should have at least put the raiders away early in the 2nd half but dumb plays in defence by our players is costing us

we should lift our intensity against the cowgirls since that will determine how we will go in the semi finals

We missed goals as well

 

[innsaneink]

Bad luck raiders, gutsy effort, your instability in the halves is again costing you

lol its the bulldogs what are playing to thier potential more then the dragons are,

Majority of the bulldogs wins they have to play close to thier best to win games ,To me the dogs are starting to feel the pinch they been up for a while now

they aren't playing anywhere near their best...

 

[Timmah]

No skeepe in here whinging incessantly about the ref's calls last night?

Probably because they almost cost the Bulldogs victory. :lol:

 

[jpaciocco91]

Neither team played too good, the Raiders should have gone for a FG when there was 4 to go instead of doing that cross field kick which amounted to nothing.
The Bulldogs should have done better to not even allow the Raiders to lose by such a small margin.

is there anyone more clueless on this forum than gaba?

the bulldogs are playing about half as good as they did earlier in the year, and the dragons are playing twice as good as they were earlier in the year. but somehow, somehow the bulldogs are currently playing more to their potential than the dragons. WTF?

 

[Gaba]

you need to read what you type, anyway you should know by now , im not going to change my opinion on the dogs

 

[Timmah]

Primarily because you're a gibbering idiot?

 

[Gaba]

no surprise to see the biggest trouble maker has his say
