2025 R11 Fri - Canterbury 24-20 Sydney @ Accor

Spencer Leniu was dominating our forward pack early in the game, so naturally Karen kept him on the bench for 45 minutes

On Marky Mark's errors... Just got to work on that at training. I would much rather him go to the ball than be flat footed or not contest. He just goes a bit to hard and early.

E Butcher error was criminal, I thought we had weathered the storm at that point and just needed to get the ball to the other end.

Toia's one was unfortunate, I'm sure he will learn from it. I'm not going to kill the kid over it.

This game also showed the value of Leniu on the bench, things turned when he and Whyte went off. Need to start with Whyte and Collins and have Leniu replace whyre and steep replace Collins . E Butcher also makes the bench less balanced, not a lot of energy with a Collins, Steep and Butcher bench. Leniu in place of Collins as mentioned then I would bring in Foketi and that seems a much more energetic bench IMO.

First time watching Spencer?

His impact is inversely proportional to time on the field.

No coincidence that we've scored zero points in the first half of games when our best forward (Kurt Mann) has been forced to start the game and not come on at the 25th minute and shred opposing the opposing defence

What a superb game



That would make a great grand final

That game actually reminded of the 2004 Grand Final and the same result

Shocked how good the roosters are playing

I thought Robbo was going to get punted

I was at the 04 gf can’t believe it’s been 21 years

SOS long neck

Is DCE hosed or playing down the ability of those around him? Roosters putting a lot of faith in him

Father Time strikes us all down, it got me when I was 22.

Just got back from the game... Roosters were fantastic, they threw everything at the Dogs! Good effort.

The Dogs continue their brilliant winning form, they find ways every week missing basically most of our forward pack and today add to that our starting prop went off early with HIA.

Canberra & Roosters threw the kitchen sink at an undermanned Dogs and lost but we still haven't beaten anyone this year right.

Jks. I can't bend down anymore without a series of grunts and groans.

 

[McNulty]

Mark nawinganetenyahoo may be rocks and diamonds but 2-3 years he’s potentially the best back in the game.

great comeback from the Bulldogs. We start getting players next week, staring with Curran.

Walked past Jack Todd at the game, no cast on his arm

Marks errors were unfortunate but it was the errors in the middle when players moved out of the defensive structure and the dogs scored 2 tries through the middle. AC was certainly annoyed with it

Poor tactical game from the Roosters. Ignored the way the Broncos opened up the Bulldogs by turning the ball back in and running in behind the ptb. Instead the Bulldogs used this tactic in the 2nd half and scored 2 tries. On the front on Radley may have had a shot on Burton for his try , but definitely had a shot on Xerri but for some reason didn’t even try.

Roosters left 2 tries on the field in the 1st half. Strangely ignored the aerial threat that Tupou poses. No cross field bombs at all to Tupou. Looked like they had no plan inside the Bulldogs’ red zone. Poor use of the Roosters’ bench. Persists with the error prone Butcher. Robinson out coached by Ciraldo.
