Fair enough, I skim read myself. And I probably was not as clear as I needed to be for you ;-) But I do agree you got some sh!t calls. I was even cheering on the dogs, well sort of for the dogs as I was 0/5 at that stage. I feel dirty.

The Dogs defence has been AWESOME this year. We hardly ever drop off tackles or miss them or even let attackers offload. You sir, Gaba, are a completely wankerous dufus.

i think my favourite was the knock-on they called against Ennis? WTF was that about?

The first no-try was fair enough I thought. Sure it was the wrong call, but the ref called it as he saw it and blew his whistle before Morris went for the ball let alone scored the try. So there was no chance he could go to the video ref after that. The forward pass call was ridiculous to deny a try. I think the Sharks also got pulled up for a forward pass deep on the attack when it was the Bulldogs players that called it forward not the touch judge.

And yes players lying all over the tackled player was a big problem (especially sharks defenders of course), but as someone else pointed out in another thread the crackdown on this is officially over and unfortunately we've lost the fast paced action we had in the first couple of rounds.

The game was poorly reffed, the dogs got all the calls in the first half. The first try was a joke the penalty that got the dogs up field should have been aloud. Toops was ruled to have lost the ball when there were hands on it, but before that the ref had blown the Dogs a penalty for the same thing. There were a few forward passes missed too.

The second half saw the refs turn on the Dogs, Goodwins no try was close and we got a few penalties that gave us momentum. We did get one bad call I thought, that was when the bomb went up Brown knocked it on and the dogs scooped it up and made a play for a try, Surely they had used their advantage?

Anyway, the Dogs were the better side, the refs really didnt help either side.

Ennis is showing why Farah should be NSW hooker.

Thanks mattyg I missed this goose...

Ennis got man of the match ladmate - care to explain? He might've potted one out on the full but in current form, Ennis would be picked without a shadow of a doubt. Tigers are far too inconsistent.

I f**king hate Ennis with a passion and would prefer Farah for that reason alone. However Ennis is cleary playing better footy from what I have seen. If he keeps it up and they pick the side on form he will be one of the first picked for the blues.

They'll go with Farah for sure, on the back of a better kicking game (and a left footed one from dummy half which apparently is a good thing). I'll be very surprised to see Ennis picked, unless they want a goal kicker too.

With Fitzy gone, I think they'll need a kicker, unless they use Gidley to fill that void. They won't pick Hazem again.
