I'm not even a doggies supporter but Steve Folkes should be sacked ASAP, he has turned the Dogs of War into the Dogs of Softcore.

Also, look at how much Anasta has improved under a REAL coach.

lol dogs of softcore.

Its as if the dogs have no experienced leaders. Sure Sonny is trying to fill that role but he's still a youngin. Need to recruit some old hard heads imo

On a side note, tonight should be a warning to other teams. You fire up big Willie, he's likely to go balls deep.

SBW is the biggest myth...give me a luke odonnell or mark minichello...Fitzgibbon..someone who is wiling to roll up his sleeves and do some kind of work as a second rower..he isnt sighted when the hard yards are needed.Shoulder charges are piss poor efforts.Apart from luke pattens first half they looked like park footballers

that was one of the few positives from a bad performance, sonny played pretty well and looked dangerous with nearly every carry. I'll say it again, our fifth tackle options are killing us. To me the roosters really got the upper hand on us when they defended their line so well against us at the start of the game. Roberts is emerging but still doesn't have the ability to consistently find right options. That one play were he passed it to Tonga in the roosters 20 on the last in the first half was a dead set shocker.

Anyone who doubts how good Sonny Bill Williams is has no idea about League what so ever. Hell even a non League fan could se how good he is.

The Bulldogs are basically a one man team now in attack, problem is he is a second rower, not a play maker. They will be better off when Ben Barba is ready for first grade.

I had some points that i wrote down while i was watching the game analyzing the play....

-Bulldogs looked like a bunch of homosexuals out there tonight.
-Bulldogs looked liked they love the penis.
-Bulldogs supporters looked nearly as gay as there players.

Im sure this is a bait but ill bite anyway.

Of all the things you notice and take note of, this is it? Do gay men interest you?

Sonny Bill was good, but if he put as much effort into making tackles rather than trying to shoulder charge every second person that ran at him it might've helped his cause. He must've missed 6 or 7 of them tonight easily.

...true!and your waiting and waiting for a just a single hit up from a second rower and it doesnt happen...if he wants to play like a centre then stick number 3 on him and give the second rower posi to a worker

Exactly. I'm not downplaying SBW's efforts out there, he and Patten kept the game interesting. However, I don't recall SBW attempting a tackle other than to come in and wrap up the already tackled player. For the most part, the shoulder charges that did hit, the attacker just bounced off him and ended up making a couple of extra metres. If he just hit them with a driving tackle into the ribs at the pace he was going, we would have been pushed back 5 yards each time.

SBW had a great game in a losing side, if some of his team mates had put their arm up a bit more they may have competed better

SBW stats from last nite
30 tackles (3rd most in the game)
3 missed tackles
2 line breaks
7 off loads (leads the comp with 19)
7 hitups
132 metres


so really how much more does he need to do ?

He could make 58 tackles, make 10 offloads, score 4 tries and have 8 linebreaks, and some muppets on here would still say he is crap and soft

SBW has quality hit ups, he just needs to increase his workload, 7 hitups in a game is poor in my opinion, same problem that we have with Pritchard and Puletua, they think they are centres.

Yeh I know how you feel with forwards thinking they are backs. Lopini Paea thinks he is a 6. ;-)
