Both Newcastle and the Dogs had 60% possession

Only 1 side won. Both played ordinary teams it says all you need to know about the Dogs.

They have another very long season coming

It will be a long season for the players. Not so long for the coach I suspect. He lured a few Panthers away and now his job is done...

That was why I found the Kikau photo strange. You can have your thoughts on whether it was wrong or not but it made no sense because Barrett would be gone

Repeat sets, setting up outside men only for them to plod, mainly Naden. He's doing very well for the side hes in and being 2 games into his career as a starting half. Luai looked far worse for a whole 12 months before he came good
I watched all of yesterdays game. Think your being a bit harsh on naden. He was one of their best i thought. Really really strong with the ball in hand. 20 runs, 170m, 5 tackle busts. Missed 1 tackle but didnt have to make many. Dufty, burton pangai and that little 14 were stromg also. Corey waddell was good too.

Burtons long kicking game caused them trouble but i dont think he was as good as you said.. the fact is they had a shitload of possession and they didnt score many..

He had a few nice touches, and i think hes going to be a good player, but your constant putting down of luai gets real tiring..

I remember luai doing things in his first year that burtons never done at half... was it the warriors game that possibly maloney amd cleary were out and luai played 7 and absolutley destroyed the warriors? Think he got a hatrick,just carved them up.. had a few games like that too when he was a rookie.

Luai had a poor back half of the year after he was injured in origin. But for 18months before that he was on absolute fire.

Burton has a long long way to go to reach the levels luai has.

Can he get there? Im not sure he will at the dogs. Not without a genuine 7.. but ill be interested to see if you use that as an excuse for him when clearly it hasnt stopped you from ripping into luai when naths been injured..

I certainly didn’t see all of the game, but I agree I thought Naden had a decent game, those stats are pretty impressive.

Shame Naden didn't pass to an unmarked JAC to win the game.

I assume your just assuming that Jac was going to run over the top of tesi nui?

Naden obviously didnt see reynolds as he tackled him from behind.

I think he thought he was threw and was going to draw and pass to JAC with the fb nui there.

Naden knows hes way to the try line and he always had a habit of scoring good trys for us. Its definitley one of his strong suits and he has a really good strike rate.

Blaming him when it wasnt even a certain try by any stretch yet over looking all the good things he did kinda speaks volumes.

The chosen one would have got the job done. Charlie Staines would have iced it.

I am unsure if your comment was tongue in cheek?
Absolutely, but the it wouldn’t matter to some what Brent Naden does, he is tarnished forever. Shame really, decent kid and fair footy player.

I’m all for forgiveness, we all make mistakes, do things in life we are not proud off, Brent was guilty of such a mistake. I hope he enjoys a terrific career with the Bulldogs.
