A cold and chilly night saw a whooping 8,972 fans (bull****, more like 500) travel to Henson Park to see the delayed clash between the Bulldogs and Jets. Steve Folkes, George Peponis and Nick Kouparitsas were some of the many few who turns out to see the Dogs.
The over all game saw the battle take place in the middle of the field. A tireless battle saw the forwards belt one another out, which included a Mickey Paea and Adam Brideson punch on. Bulldogs Billy Nwagini started at hooker, finding good metres yet it was Jets George Ndiara who could be counted as the best player on the field.
While Shaun Kenny-Dowell or whatever it is, scored like a million tries, the show was really stolen by Brent Crisp, Trent Cutler and Billy Nwagini who seemed to make good metres and breaks down the middle.
Trent Cutler dropped a kick restart and gave away posession early in the 1st half, while Brent Crisp in the 2nd half failed to defuse a bomb on the line which resulted in a Jets try, as well as a failed judgement in-goal almost saw another for the Jets.
New to popularity, Tim Winitana played an average game which could be creditted to the lack of ball spread to either sides backline, however; an early break down the line in the 1st half saw a test in Winitana pace where he unfortunately failed 10 metres from the gap.
Brent Crisp showed some glipes of brilliance in the goal kicking department which gives Bulldogs fans good hope for the future after El Masri.
Daniel Holdsworth, while not having a terrible game, failed to create dominance which you'd expect from the second season top grader who is pushing to return to the fold. Some decently placed kicks including a 50-60 metre field finding penality kick saw the Dogs never in too much doubt, yet Holdsworth in my eyes, never maintained pressure.
The game mainly stayed with the Dogs the entire 80 minutes, however; very poor ball handling throughout the entire game kept the Jets always in the race.
Final score Jets going down to the Bulldogs 28-26...and that's my view on the game (from the Bulldogs side of things anyway).
