Any updates on Michael Licha?

Heard he had his eyelashes curled just yesterday afternoon with his misses and Napa's act which can only be described as nothing less than a pure moment of madness and thuggery may have knocked them out of shape.
:cool:

What a disgraceful dive that was.

JWH had a great game. Can't see Kearney leaving him out of the NZ team based on that performance alone.

We are terrible. Better start building towards next year

Would have been interesting if the roosters scored on that play where they forced a line drop out. The video ref would have had to go back all the way to the start of the play and rule no try for the roosters player being out. Odd the ref couldn't overturn that.


In saying that the dogs switched off for the final ten. Not offering any attack not kicking the ball into touch or bombing. They seemed content chipping it to the fullback . Then when the roosters were on the attack they had zero pressure on the kicker when it was last tackle.

They gave up on the style of play that got them to the lead. They deserved to lose.

Chin up Doggies fans, at least you won't have to watch your team lose another Grand Final this year.

Dogs didn't switch off, their forward pack just started to fatigue because the refs didn't do all the hard work for them by giving them a run of 6 straight penalties in the second half like they did the first.

We've seen it all year, the dogs pack is huge. They get pockets of possession (through penalties, repeat sets, opposition errors etc.) through every game where they're almost unstoppable but as soon as they're asked to earn their territory and defend for extended periods they unsurprisingly fatigue pretty quickly.

2012 was very disappointing but for me 2014 was alright because I knew we would lose. :lol:
