dogs beat the dogs today.

Knights were given a free pass.

The pressure the Knights applied led to the 'dogs beating the dogs'.
They put them off their game and the Dogs did the rest.

Entertaining game, Knights looked pretty slick. Dogs just awful.

Bollocks, we rattled the Dogs out of the match. Remember it however you wish, though... lol.

Also proud of the effort. It's huge for us to make week 2 of the finals for a lot of reasons, but really important for future seasons with these young guys coming through and Mullen hitting his prime.

Agree with this. The Bulldogs were belted off the park by a smaller but more physical forward pack.

Size isn't everything...

 

[Swarzey]

Nah, our class will overcome it, no matter how many bones the refs give ya.

Bingo.

Refs did everything they could to keep the Dogs in the contest but at the end of the day, while we had the smaller pack, it was a level of class the Dogs couldn't compete with.

Bring on Melbourne.

You've been deathriding us all season and yet we're still here. Remind me again, where are the Warriors and how did you go with that late season charge to the finals? Oh what's that, your surge got brought to a shuddering halt by the all-conquering Steve Price led Dragons?

Time to let the big boys play gimp :lol:

what a load of crap. the dogs were smashed by a much smaller pack with a much bigger heart.

That and the fact that everyone in the dogs thinks they have a 6 or 7 on their back. That was one of the stupidest displays from a football team I've seen in a while.

T-Rex was sublime today...ran for 51 metres and walked for 3000.

 

[Jobdog]

Well, what about THAT!

Simply outstanding effort from the Knights - the Dogs weren't great, particularly in the second half, but the fact the Knights pretty much bashed them in the forwards had a lot to do with it too.

For years the Knights have been belted in games by more physical forward packs. It was good to see them dishing it out for a change.

Not without a chance in Melbourne next week if they defend like that again.

How good is Jezza Smith... deadset finals speciallist!!

I love how everytime we win everyone says we only did because the opposition lost it. And yet somehow we're still here. We completely dominated the Dogs tonight on the back off some horrendous referring against us, a sin binning, very little possession, against a much larger forward pack, without our best front rower or our captain.

We'll probably lose to Melbourne, but FFS give us a little credit.

 

[morri (cWo)]

Not sure if it's been said but is there anymore reasoning for Inu being sat down?

 

[Dutchy]

How about Kasianos dog shot on McAnus? How was that missed.

 

[Aragorn]

Credit to the knights that you won.

You still had to show up to win, but dont get delusional into thinking you played a quality side tonight.

Physically the dogs might have been at full strenght, but psychologically they were brain dead.

Your real final footy starts and ends next week against the Storm.

Good luck and enjoy your extra week of football.

Agreed, and beau scott, f**k me, what a blinder. Good on em both. They were massive for us in 2010, hopefully they can get another one this year.

 

[Ron's_Mate]

Sydney referees have given the game to the dogs. The NRL has absolutely rigged this comp.

Derp ...

He tweeted earlier today - Lafai simply in better form and Morris had to shift to get Barba back at fullback.

Would've rathered Barba be left out but them's the breaks.
