OK im back.
Time for some debating.

What have i missed?

If there is a lot of posters in here, is that called mass debating.

Chris Patolo MCL probably season over.
Shame that Sutton, Patolo and Todd will be missing at the business end.

I am leaning towards keeping Hayes in the side, and trying to win with defence.

Well we won the GF 2 months ago, the boys are still on the mad Monday  world tour.

Dman is annoyed because I sold his wold tour ticket on Ebay, I did give him 5%.

Every good things Burto does... But that was already the case prior to your sojourn...

The $6M man is in the shop again...

I am pumped for the Broncos game and I blame those Kennel podcast guys for being more even optimistic than I am.

On the balance of play we should have beat a good Cows team by 3 clear trys.

Kraz fumble gifting and easy try, uncharacteristic Preston fumble when certain to score, ref getting a tight call wrong on the Hayward try.

The injury to Patolo also stuffed up our rotation and explains why Curran was out of juice at the end.

So take our chances and don't gift the Donkeys easy trys.as for the ref, we might get a 50-50 going against us again, that is why we need to take our chances. 

It was a poor decision to play Patolo. He is ridiculously injury prone. Need Hopoi back asap. We just desperately need some good props. 

I rate Patolo, but he doesn't stay on the field long enough to show what he can do.

I hope Patolo has one last crack next season, get the rehab right.

Hopoi will probably come in we have limited choices.

Broncos game is going to be a test of our forwards. 

Critta out - not surprising  given how he struggled on last week
Kiraz and Skelton paired up on the right side

so right side defence is  preston,sexy, kiraz, skelton

Tough game today. If we beat the Bozos I’ll be ecstatic. I hate those filthy scum bags. 

Cosching masterstroke by CC to shift wide early.
Poor decision and miss by Burton to let them back in....

OK first half, errors cost us at the back end. 

First try of the second half is vital. 

I can't believe Skelton just didnt go for glory and cut back in. Cant believe Burton does a stupid follow up play and  to top it all off, i cant believe Tracey with that pathetic attempt on Staggs.

All he had to do was either clean him up or st the very least slow him down so Xerri can cover him easily.

He was nothing but a fly who Staggs squatted and didnt even lose any pace. Gave Xerri a harder bootlace tackle to make.

We have gone from full control to allowing them back in the game in the blink of an eye. 

I want to go back on holidays....
My heart can't take this

And there's my 6 to 1 multi.....

Thank you Kiraz

Toby Sexton take a bow.
Best game from him and best game from the Dogs for years.

I dont mind Tapau scoring.
After he left us i wouldnt have thought hed get to 250 games but good on him

Yep, great game all around. 

Both sides played how I hoped they would.

Reed was annoyed that a Broncos player in an offside position got the ball back in the lead up to the Staggs try.

Broncos were lucky to get 3 trys and we could have scored 1 or 2 more.

Critter and probably Fox should be back next game.

Topping off a great day, top try by Jordie in the reserve grade highlights. 

Beat 3 defenders with sheer pace, length of the field. 

'my heart can't take this'...
Where U been???...

Was bitter sweet...

I assume that's Harry Jordie or Jordie Harry...

I don't think he is the real Marki,

Praised Sexton and didn’t rubbish Burton. 

Hockey drag-flickers get the ball mving at speeds up to 135kph.

. .. Well what a victory today I think we're onto something here this year thank God Sutton was not there he would have got the Broncos into the game somehow, but it was a great win. Hopefully the guys keep it up this year. We can't criticise CC any more. He's done a wonderful job.

Woohooooooo. Still blind!!!! Woohoo

Jordie (Harry) Mazzone.

We have got great depth in the outside backs,  young pups like Mazzone, Clark, Sua, Papalii.

Gus knows how to build a club.

Injuries to props the last 2 seasons have been a perfect storm.  You could argue that we had no one who was recognised as a proven NRL prop at the start of the season in the team which played the Broncos, 

If Stefano wants to win a comp,  he must like what he is seeing at the Dogs. He can make a difference and us a very likely starter in our side. He knows that the coaches and the rest of the team will do their job.

Still so happy. I’ll be grinning all week. Up the DOGS!!!

We proved to everybody yesterday we are the real deal. Ciro is a great coach. Very smart game plan executed perfectly. Sexy is getting better each game. With Critta and Fox back next week we could go on another winning streak leading to a top four finish. 

I am not surprised that we look better in dry daytime conditions. 

That is why I thought that these games in QLD might suit us. Only surprise was Cows defended better than I expected and the 50/50s went their way. 

I don't think that we can play this style of attack in wet conditions and the wet suits bigger forward packs. Last time we saw that was the loss to the Chooks which was just a bad night at the office.

So I am hoping for dry conditions every game from here, but it will be interesting to see how we handle the wet if it happens. 

Faders, Dargons, Fins, Wahs, Manly, Cows....
We're better than that lot...
Our destiny is in our own hands... We can lock 5th up, and with a little luck 4th a possibility.. .
