2018 R23 Sun - Bulldogs 27-26 Warriors @ ANZ

[Tommy Smith]

That was insipid by Johnson and the warriors.

A statement you hear at least once a month. Sometimes 2 or 3 times.

 

[Barkley]

The Warriors are in the bun!

 

[Front-Rower]

F U Warriors

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Warriors might want to spend less time on their hair and breathing circles.

 

[Dav0c]

The 2 points the refs gifted the dogs was the difference in the end.

 

[ek999]

Lachlan Lewis is better than Wally

 

[vvvrulz]

That ridiculous penalty in the first half was costly as well as the forward pass try

We have no right to blame the refs, with a bit of heart we'd have won.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Lol, Lachlan Lewis got the good hair genes in his family

 

[King hit]

20 odd tackles or so in the front line, a try assist, good kicks, a great try saving tackle and the winning field goal.

What a 22nd birthday for Lachlan Lewis

 

[Hutty1986]

Lewis still not happy with his performance. Real professional, this kid. Got a big future

 

[Xcalibre]

Good win doggies. So many boneheaded plays but the effort and intensity got them over the line.

That kick to win was amazing from a kid with less than 10 games experience! Love watching him play .

 

[ek999]

Is Lewis from NSW?

That loss makes it very tough for the Warriors to make top 4. It is very typical of the Warrior's season though.

Now a home elimination final really rests on next week's result.

It is hard to see Roosters, Souths and Melbourne missing top 3 now, and Dragons and Sharks (and Panthers if they can win without Maloney) fighting for 4th and 5th, with Panthers, Warriors and Broncos scrapping for 6th over 7th or 8th.

Tigers still a tiny chance of 8th (about 3% you'd reckon).

I'm going to blame them anyway.

Throw in the mix next Sunday,the Dogs V Dragons. Dogs will love nothing more than to upset the Dragon's push for a top 4 spot.

And a try. Brilliant performance by him. Very impressive for his age.

It is interesting that Dogs and Knights play Dragons and Sharks. Both want to spoil the same teams.

Dogs and Knights can take some confidence from this week and Dragons and Sharks have imploded previously this season, so anything can happen. But you'd expect the top teams to have too much to play for.

Panthers/Warriors should be a great test of both teams desire after a bit of adversity this week.

 

[Xcalibre]

Can't believe the Warriors lost tbh. It's not like the Dogs didn't give them heaps of opportunities in the 2nd half.

Typical NZ though. All the talent, lacking the smarts.

I reckon Knights will struggle to beat Sharks. Got some skill Newie, but not the toughness of Cronulla. Hard to say about the other game. Both teams terribly inconsistent. Just hope both are at the best and it will be a good game.

Racist.
