Warren, Gould, Halligan. You can get rid of one from commentary forever. But only one, and the other two will commentate on league for all eternity. Who would it be?

Toughest decision ever.

9-8. 21-20. Two weeks in a row, the better side were beaten. Anyone who thinks the dogs are a hope of winning the premiership are in lala land. They will be found out before seasons end, and even if they squeeze into the 8, will be cannon fodder, just as they were last year.

Yeah it decided it. The Warriors were down by two with a few left and Reynolds lost the ball cold. Should have been a scrum. Odds are Warriors would have won if that play was called correctly.

Did you watch the game? Odds are warriors would have somehow lost the scrum against the head, dogs pick it up ands score

I thought it should have been a scrum, but the warriors were there own worst enemy and doing their absolute best to lose.

If the Warriors bloke didn't drop the ball cold in a tackle the Bulldogs wouldn't have even been in that position, or if they put in some effort to wrap the ball up when Williams offloaded. But instead let's blame the ref or Josh Reynolds.

The same people will then not blow up when the refs call a clear strip a knock on by the Dogs earlier in the match

He was. Arm carrying the ball touched the ground when he first went to ground. He then got up to play the ball and Tomkins didn't let go. Of course it's Reynolds fault though and not Tomkins

Tackle complete. If they blow a penalty for Tompkins original holding down, I wouldnt have had a problem, but they let it go and Reynolds tries to milk it with a third "flop" when Tompkins wasn't touching him and he drops it. Poor call for mine.

Halligan is horrible, no two ways about it. Can't stand him.

So so frustrating that loss. It could have been avoided with a bit of thought/composure/basic fundamentals, they blew it badly.

thank f**k i didn't change my tip! I really thought the warriors would win, especially with all the good changes. About time fish, townsend & mateo (didn't even know he was playing most of the time) got dropped! f**k elliott, should have done that weeks ago, especially townsend.

i've been asking about laumape for a few weeks, so much better then fish!

when is locke back? he needs to be in this side. it's time manu is moved off the wing, put him in the forwards or centre, drop nielsen & put locke at wing. give tomkins another 6 or so weeks... one of the best things about the warriors is the johnson & locke combo, might have to move tomkins to 6 if he doesn't step up at fb.

Yes the refs were terrible...like when the warriors stripped the ball with two men in the tackle and went on to score a try.

Or when they were going to have to drop out the ball, but the warriors delayed long enough for the video ref to change an in play decision to a 20 metre restart. You're right....the refs didn't help the warriors at all.

The penalty gave the dogs 2 points to even the game up at 20 all. What about the other 80 minutes of play? What about all the other calls the ref made?

Blaming the entire match on 1 decision late in the game is BS.

def agree about the strip on browne that led to a try for warriors, shocking decision. cummins is one of the worst. i remember a game at penrith he f**ked, as he was walking off i yelled at the tv peg something at his head & someone actually pegged a can right at his head lol!

imo dogs are way overrated. if it wasn't for reynolds they would be wooden spooners! perret has jack in attack & besides goal kicking/fg's hodgkinson does f**k all, especially in the 20.
But watch everyone will say hodgkinson was great, cause he hit the goals/fg but reynolds set up the tries & won the game again.

the winger thompson? needs to go & ennis has become pretty average, he's a bench player now.

also dogs are in desperate need of a good fb, really need some new/young blood. their 1, 7 & 9 are very average. pritchard will be a big loss...

All things considered I'm happy enough. A win would have been nice, but we lost two players to injury before halftime, had a hooker on debut forced to play lock because of it and our main hooker who no longer is up to playing 80 minutes every week so all things considered I can live with what I saw.

It's not going to be a quick fix or sudden turnaround for this team, if they're going to get there it's going to be a step by step process. A good positive step today despite the loss, how they play against the Dragon will decide a lot about how their progress is really going.

Don't be like that pea brain. U were so far up my backside last year and last week, confessing your love for me. Is it that time of the month for you ? I shouldn't call a female a pea brain, but you swing like a monkey, I hope you don't look like one. Hang on a sec, you couldn't be, surely not !

A shemale ? It makes sense. Last year u wanted me, last week u missed me, and now I'm a liar. Thanks anyway honey, but go away.

Too fuuny

Nice rant Pip :)

It's very fuuny

Honestly didn't think there was much wrong with the penalty. Tomkins clearly stops Reynolds from getting up and playing the ball (getting up to keep running? lol, please) and Reynolds milked it for all it was worth.
