No. Argue that they weren't bunched, the line was set and there weren't multiple field goal attempts.

So what's the point of that argument?

 

[Cletus]

Is it just me or do the dogs just kick it to Jamal as there only attacking option? They dont seem to do anything else when they attack the line.

 

[Tweed Titan]

Terrible decision on the Prior try. How can someone watch that 4 or 5 times and still get it wrong. What a bunch of tards our video refs are.

That said it was a good game for the neutrals. Is it just me or is Greg Eastwood extremely unfit and lazy? Looked like he was having a hard time falling onto players on the ground towards the end, let alone running.

Despite Soward's weird choices towards the end I must say f**k his bombs and general kicking were sensational all night. The guy just does not waste kicks. Nice cover defensive option too in broken play. I still put him in a sky blue jersey, but am worried about his hard on for field goals 15 mins out.

Come on! It was 3 games in 8 days for a lot of our players, and every team aims up against us.

 

[Joe's Magpies]

Great game. Well done to both sides.

You're right, bht there's no point arguing with them.

 

[HowHigh]

As much as I hate the Dogs they gave us a good run. Pretty poor second half by Dragons but just enough to hold on.
Good game.

 

[ozjet1]

did the video ref check the offside at all on the idris try?

 

[skeepe]

Can you seriously not understand why a team 5 points ahead might go for field goal? Seriously?

 

[jimmythehand]

where the firetruck were the Dogs halves on the 4th tackle. 2 20m entries in the last 10 minutes, and both times a forward took a hit up on the 4th. Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb.

 

[Spanner in the works]

So what's the point of that argument?

Aren't the Dragons known for holding their composure, maintaining their defensive line and been a mentally strong side?

 

[Vic Mackey]

dogs dont have enough attacking options to worry the top teams

ennis, turner, j morris are absolute geniuss. keating good runner but nothing else, hodkinson not flashy enough

if its not from barba or payne they have nothing

Not when the Dogs had them on the ropes. They needed a try to end the game. Not go to extra time and give the Dogs more chances to win.

 

[taxidriver]

Well played dogs

Relieved with that one

 

[Willow]

Well played Bulldogs. You brought your A Game to the reigning champions. Failed in the first half but managed to muscle up in the second half. Better luck next week... consistency is the key. Hope you can carry it on. Who are you playing next week?

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

The Bulldogs were handed 6 points undeservedly too... guess because the commentators didn't go on about it you missed it. Try thinking for yourself some time.

Nobody else has commented on the Bulldogs try. Perhaps we're blinded by our hatred of St George? I'll have to have a look at the replay before I pass judgment.

Are you for real? They won the game, they are 9-1, they had players playing rep football backing up.

Still not sure of the point you are trying to make.

 

[taxidriver]

did the video ref check the offside at all on the idris try?

No and he was offside so let's not hear countless whining about the prior try

 

[Jason Maher]

Alright then. We're a shithouse team. We only ever win when the refs hand it to us. Especially so in the Grand Final. All of our p-layers are shithouse, especially Cregah and Soward. Soward in particular can't tackle to save himself, and always goes missing when the pressure is on. None of them should ever even be considered for Origin. Especially Soward. We're a bunch of chokers, and now the Dogs have pushed us close, we'll crumble for the rest of the season. We just can't handle it when an opposition team aims up against us. In short, we're a myth. Should I go start a thread?

Pritchard is also a threat.
