[Suitman]

No sun in your face either.

True that

So, it's down to us beating the Broncos and Storm and the Roosters beating the Storm next week for us the finish the season in the top 4. What are the odds?

And then play Penrith, juicy scenario

 

[Happy MEel]

Good to see Kaysa involved in the team song today

 

[Wally21]

The bloody size of Sivo. He’s a tank!

I don't understand what Michael Jordan has to do with anything...

Is this racist?
It seems racist.

Even if we did get it done and finsh 4th we'll still shit the bed.

But we’d at least get to shit the bed twice.
And once at home.

I saw Brad Drew at the game.

Was he the only player from 2001 to turn up for the old boys reunion. I didn't see anyone else from that squad or era there.

 

[King-Gutho94]

When I saw gutho leading the guys out before half the dogs had even finished running out of the tunnel I knew they guys were itching to get out there.

Normally there is a 45 second to 1 minute difference but Gutho and the lads charged out.

I said it a few weeks back start marata over matto

How good was it seeing marata rip in

Loved the rotation of marata replacing paps in the 2nd half..

Also loved carty on at that period as he and matto can start causing a bit of havoc in the middle.

Carty also showed alot of ethusiasm

Nrown has to come back for ogafitti

The craft beer is flowing freely after a great win.

I've lost track of whats racist or offensive these days. Lets just go with yes to be safe.

While I’m really happy with the victory that was an incredibly frustrating game to watch. I think we left a lot of points on the table by turning over possession with dumb errors. How many times did we let the Bulldogs regather off the short kickoff? Also has Mahoney ever dived on a loose ball without knocking it on in his life? He’s so uncoordinated and it’s infuriating. We were lucky the Bulldogs were trash today because there’s no way the possession should have been 51/49 with our superiority. It was great to see Cartwright and Niukore make solid contributions. We’re going to need that come finals time. Also I will forgive letting go of Papali’i if we can retain Moses and Drown. Absolute superstars.

He does seem particularly bad at it.

I got pulled up for using the word homeless person.
People without homes is much nicer

 

[Twizzle]

what a game, and thanks to @MJC for the great seats

 

[Twizzle]

btw, the Doggies really are shit

good luck Rheed, you'll need it

 

[eel01s]

Good win. Best for me was signs of improvement in defence. Yes I know the Dogs didn't throw much at us but we slid better. Waqa with one very poor miss and some really dumb mistakes meant that there is room for improvement next week.

As above, best game from Marata all year. Also hope we work on defending short drop outs. Dogs seemed to escort with no issues yet we let them get into position to catch the ball cleanly every time.

At least you didn’t say homeless man and assume their gender.

^^^^ from the Dogs presser, our wide shifting tired their pack out.

As much as Reed has been copping it on here of late, his ability to throw a 20m pass to the chest ^^^^ created the numbers for the Opacic try.
