The bulldogs will be pleased to get the f**k out of here with 2 points. They've been f**king awful. No right to be winning this game.

The Knights had less right to win that. One of the dumbest attacking displays I have seen in a long while

Okay, f**k that. No doubt we should have had one last play.

I'm fine losing close games, but f**k, not when we're second last and on 4 points.

Ennis was right though. So many times they just take it back to play the ball but they give a penalty there.

Good win again. Going to have a heart attack one day soon though

Ennis was 1000% right, everyone was playing as if it was play on. BJ included. It's either play on and a scrum to the dogs, or you send him back to the spot to play the ball

Rubbish decision. Deserved to be sworn at.

Refs f**ked up on the Dogs 40/20 and with that penalty to bj at the end. Looked like everyone thought play on the me... If refs called held take it back to play the ball. Dont penalise a team for continuing to make a tackle when the guy is still trying to play on.

Will be interesting to see how Wayne justifies this one at the press conference. Phrases like 'effort' and 'bounce of the ball' will surely be tossed about... but the truth is we're just dumb at crucial moments.

Why do players push and shove when they know they'll get hammered in a fight against that bloke? Is it because of the no punch rule?
Leilua would've cleaned up Jackson and Reynolds together.

Is it fair to say the taking the 2 again might have played a significant role in costing the knights a game

foot on the throat, pressing the dogs line and lets them off with 2... scores score a try and win the game

Im not so sure about Reynolds, you dont make it this far in life without visible facial scarring being the type of yappy, cheap shot, niggling merkin that he is, unless you can handle yourself in a fight

Yeah, think you're right on that one. Worked last year, same situation where we had them on the back foot, forcing errors etc.

I thought it was the right call even if they didn't win. It's better to take the lead at that stage of the game when given the chance

fmd dogs attack is awful, another lucky win! ball hitting the ground so many times, 2 of their 3 tries were lucky. they had so many chances & didn't even look close to scoring most times.

reynolds had a bad night in attack & i didn't see hodgkinson stepping up again.

hassler needs to get a good attacking fb asap! should have pinched the stewart bros. at least get locke or even hoffman & should try grab feltd from Q cup.

Well, at least Mullen showed Reynolds what class and ability looks like.


Shame we have idiots selecting rep teams.
