Nah, not minor at all. You're 100% correct.

You'd need to change the point structure for 3 points for a win in normal time, 2 for a win in GP, 1 for a loss in GP.

I guess you could, but the ladder would look odd having 2 teams with the same amount of wins and losses but on different points.

not a big deal i suppose

How the f**k is Rabs getting PROMOTED to the olympics. He's shit at his job.

Anyone who saw his attempted tackle on Yosefa?
Um our incumbent halves did terrible jobs defensively on Wednesday. Reynolds won't be any worse.

And the person who I'd have with him in the halves (Adam Reynolds) is among the best tackling halfbacks in the comp. Good balance.

Neither of these teams will trouble Melbourne, Manly or the likes with their efforts tonight. Bit of a bludger of a game, but the Bulldogs had been the better side and deserve the win.

We beat Melbourne pretty comfortably 2 weeks ago

Hope that last tackle play by the Tigers makes the highlight reel.

FMD. I know Tigers were missing half their starting team an Lote broke his arm, but that 2nd half was pathetic. Too many missed opportunities in the 1st half too. f**k you Tigers.


Oh and well played Bulldogs...you'll go far.

Golden point shouldn't exist period.

Fun ol' game. Quality was low but second half was nice & entertaining. Dogs just had too much class out-wide tonight.

Yeah, personally I just think that if you can't win inside 80 minutes you shouldn't get the same amount of points as someone who can win within 80.

Yeah, but the Dogs played much better football in that game than they did tonight. What I meant was, playing like both teams did tonight, they won't trouble the top teams. Dogs have plenty of skill out wide which basically won them the game.

Still nothing but garbage from the Tigers. They can't play a full 80 to save their lives. Don't give me this crap about Lote and Farah. The Sharks don't seem to suffer much without Carney and Gallen.

tonight showed where both teams are

the dogs were terrible in the first half but stayed close enough, then they got the rocket from hasler, came out, put some quick points on. even though we got back in it it always felt like the dogs were in control, when they needed to score points they did....easily

our attack was woeful (as it has been all year) and our defence is laughable. the dogs tries were pretty simple stuff, barba did most of it at half pace. yeah we had players out, but iosefa was just about our best player so that negates farah being out imo

benjis defence is the worst ive ever seen it. he was seriously tackling better as a 70kg 17 year old. i dont know if he was a crook shoulder or what it is, but he is making chris sandow look like sonny bill williams atm

sheens continually changes the team around and we have no continuity in attack or defence.

lote gets injured so what do you do? bring on a huge, slow second rower, put him to center and move your right center to left wing... so now you have a regular center and a second rower defending next to each other with benji...where do canterbury go straight after halftime to score....twice...straight there...hasler's no dope

we just arent that good a team this year. we need to be absolute full strength and play at 100% just to be able to compete with the top teams. we are rarely either.

Yep, nothing wrong with a draw

Only caught glimpses whilst at work. Bulldogs seemed strong. Tigers started well, must've faded a bit. They're capable with the return of Ellis and Farah in particular to the side, but they just dont seem to be playing well enough at present.
