Match Discussion: Round 18 vs Canterbury @ Accor Stadium, Sydney Olympic Park / Wanngal

[perverse]

Sad thing is if we have 3 more wins, which we should, Bradman is probably getting a blues jersey this week. And he would deserve it.

seriously where had this been all year

We don't play the Dogs every week. Their defence is absolutely shocking... no line speed, no communication, blokes getting caught by themselves constantly... it's real ugly from the Dogs here. It seems like they've completely forgotten who Kalyn Ponga is because there's no-one putting any pressure or urgency around him at all.

It's nice watching Kalyn do his thing though.

We don't get to play a nsw cup level side who have given up every week.

Knights are great downhill skiers

A side getting booed off and it’s not us

A nice change

Dogs booed off. Fair

Fave moment of the first half was Gregosaurus trampling TPJ

 

[Jono078]

That was such a nice first half but I can't help but feel so frustrated.

Where was this the last 2 weeks?

Now I totally expect them to get inflated egos again and go shit for the next few games.

We aim up - egos inflate - shit performances for the next month - repeat

I have been to nearly every home game since 88. Reckon we have been booed off less than 5 times in 35 years.

What's with all these blow-outs

Enjoy this nice statistical graphic while it lasts. Maybe save it to your favorites for the remainder of the season;

A tale as old as time. Ah whatever, I enjoyed 40 minutes of champaigne footy from Kalyn. Gotta take the wins when they're on offer.

 

[Zoidberg]

Let’s just enjoy this. Hope we can get a 2nd half like the 1st to keep most of us smiling.

They played against sides who turned up.

What's with all these blow-outs

One half of the comp is starting to get their heads into finals mode, the other half is giving up.

I'm happy to see that the boys aren't all high fiving and celebrating like they've already won the game. In the sheds they all look like they know the job isn't done yet. Good to see.

 

[Apey]

I tipped us. Not sure why really. Thinking Ponga alone might be good enough for the Dogs?

Good tip mate

 

[Jono078]

I don't want to be handing out to much credit today because the Dogs are showing me there are many levels below what I thought was shit NRL standard.

However, credit to AOB for having the team up today, when no doubt he'd be feeling a bit of heat.

 

[Jono078]

Gotta feel for Gags as well. Last 3 games he's missed, the team has gone on to do great things (2 x Qld and 1 x Knights).

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Dogs have 36 missed tackles already lol

The thing is, we get up for the odd game. It's nothing new, we just don't usually do it against the putrid teams. We usually get up for it against a good team every now and then and lose narrowly.

The reason why we're up for it today is we've looked at the ladder and realised that we're already in the "mathematically still possible" category.

Eh I wouldn't feel too bad about it. He's had 2 real stinkers this year and been rock solid gold outside of that. It is what it is.
