Round 14 V Dogs

[Life's Good]

We won. All the top teams won by 1 or 2 points this round.
Currently sitting 1st so I'd say we are definitely top 4 material!

Ok, I might have been a bit dramatic re T4 but seriously we had all the first half possession & looked likely set after set. We then fell in a heap. It was the sort of game where we were making yards but doing nothing with it. Maybe we were rusty so I’ll keep my powder dry & hope today is an aberration & we pump Manly.

Good take at the end there but I've seen Mann add way more value with a 20 minute cameo in the middle than he did tonight...

Nighty when well in the middle.
So I think there will be know changes .

Not top 4 material ? ? ? You must be joking , the ladder proves just how good we are !
We are still the NRL benchmark , Bellamy knew exactly what he was saying when he said just that about the Dragons - didn't he ? View attachment 20801

I think people worrying about the Dragons performance are a bit too over the top, considering the performances of all our rival teams besides Warriors this week. Everyone won scrappy, hell Panthers only beat Raiders in the last few seconds

 

[Dragon]

Why have Jacob Host on the bench & not play him at all ?

Who the f**k knows

 

[Lovemedragons]

Missed the game, how did Mann go, was he better than 250 game legend?

 

[Belta]

Luv getting flak from a bulldog fan at half time. He who laughs last, laughs the loudest.

Make the opposing team have no idea what you are doing.......LOL..seriously ...the coach is either an innovator or an idiot....I'll let you pick

Shhhh, you speak too much truth!! People don't want to hear that other top 4 teams play scrappy performances too.

I'm glad there are some optimists out there because that was pretty shit. Dropped balls, stupid penalties, poor defence, a bench player not used. That was not the performance of a top 4 side or coach.

Sure nightys sheer effort will always be valuable and I don't expect Mary to change back but just saying that Mann did not look comfortable on the wing tonight.

But that performance was on par with the Panthers and Rabbitohs. Are they also not Top 4 sides? Relative to our rivals, yes we are a top 4 side. Top teams don't always win by smashing lower teams, as long as they win.

 

[Willow]

Never in doubt.

You can’t say he “needs the experience” or it’s a risk to put him on as he has enough first grade experience to add value in my opinion, so I don’t understand

Not today...

Lots of work needed before Manly next week. This was hard to watch. Hunt and Widdop both had average games. Sims and JDB can hold their heads up after that game.
Still those 2 points are priceless.

 

[Brutalitops]

Never in doubt.

Literally this. For some reason I just never worried about this one. I just felt confident in how we handle close games this year compared to last

 

[SAP58]

How good is Tariq Sims ? I love his passion & aggression.

 

[SAP58]

Klemmer would look REALLY good in the Red V !

 

[Crossbow]

Massive win in the context of the season.Just have to overcome these lower placed teams we are going to play in the next couple of weeks and we are semi bound and we can run into form then.Can we swap Lafai for Bmoz.Nighty also safe as housed under that high ball Put him back in.So happy for the boys and the supporters.Lets get behind our team now and enjoy the ride.

No, no he wasn't
