Infinity isn't good enough I want more - Dr Mock.

The Dogs should be pefect and far better than all teams immediately with no excuses - I agree on this one, it will come after #MockInfinity

1+1 = technically 15…

#Mockematics…

The nain point is we are close enough to feature at the backend of the season if we are good enough.

Same can be said for all teams. 

CC has said that he would like 1-2 more wins, but the start is ok.

At this stage of the season how the team is playing isn't that important, it is all about collecting the 2 competition points regularly enough to stay in the hunt, and it doesn't matter how we get the wins.

I also agree with CC, we have started 5-6 games well and 5-6 games poorly, we haven't put 80 mins together but have had patches of good footy in most games. When we are playing well we are often dominant in attack and defence, mostly we are lacking consistently good last tackle options.

Can we put it together for 80 mins?
How good is our best footy?
Can we string a run of 80 minute performances together?

No one knows, but my opinion is that 80 mins of our best footy will win against most teams.

Most pleasing against the Titians was how well a lot of our young players went and the 5 guys I have in mind have a combined experience of no more than 20 games. In most cases those young guys are getting better every game. 

Your proof by mathematical induction is attrocious Dman. At least copy off the Asians would ya....

Look, I don't mind alittle optimism here or there.....I'm guilty of it sometimes myself.

But I get really concerned for you guys when you truly believe we are only 1 or 2 wins from 8th or top 4 or top of of table....

Someone's been paying attention.......

And if results go as per the bookies figures, and with any luck, as most Dogs fans would hope,  your $1.6M mate doesn’t get a flat or slightly inclined track this week we move to 10th/11th… 1 behind 8th… and I think it likely Canberra,Manly, Roosters, Warriors, and Titans will probably lose a game or two before the end of year… 

So 2 points, carry the crap, divide by ego, subtract I coach kids squared equals kiss my ass…

Some perspective please Mockstra…

Panthers 1st on 7 wins… South’s second on 8 wins… Sharks 3rd with 7 wins… Broncos 4th with 8… Melb 5th with 7…. 6th thru 8th on 6 wins….
So it’s actually 2 wins behind 1st…

Some perspective please…

Interesting, nay typical you didn’t see fit to respond in kind to the post about 1 win behind 8th, and in equal eighth but for a disgraceful refereeing decision against warriors…

You came in here on Saturday night before half time in the tigers game crapping on about how we were last with no mention of bye or game in hand (some perspective here  please Mockstradamus)…

Wrong.
It's 3 winning games with every other team losing.

Which is equivalent to about 15 games the way we are playing.

Some perspective here please Steve.....

 And the King of Kings sings the national anthem, followed by the dogs victory song in the winning sheds.

#DogsTakeOver

Hope so…
Youd like to think he takes enough out of last weeks game to see how important his attitude and effort means to the Teams success…
If his origin selection is the reason or adds to his understanding that’s great…
Congrats to both him and Foxx… Next year, Burto displaces Romy!!!… And Lou jumps Bunt and Hairy…

He put in a great performance at a great time.

Not easy being the main man in an understrength pack.

I'll be cheering on the Fox and TPJ.

I think our attack will work much better we Kicks is back.

Preston can switch back to the right and is the ideal player to run off passes from Karl.

Burto doesn't have great passing, but mostly Kicks just needs the ball.

Marhoney has good passing in the middle especially when we have more punch in the forwards.

Edwards has a good short passing game.

Not that he is that bad, but Preston is the odd man out. A fullback has to be great at running and passing. His running is good and is passing is ok. 

Sooner or later we will have some troops back in the forwards.

Pangai picked for Origin. Massive congratulations to him. This might be the wake up call for him to take him to the elite level. 

I always wondered why they persisted with him on the wing. It was so obvious that he was a middle/edge forward. Ciro saved his career by making an obvious choice. 

One of the worst I’ve seen…
Thommo, Kiks, Foxx, Pangai the main ones…
Then throw in either missing a game or there and playing busted King, Sutton, Kiraz…
Throw in Burns, Patolo…

Many detractors only seem to think we’ve been missing 2 blokes…

Only 3 games from first place after a terrible run with injuries. 

True the refs are only there ensure there is no foul play and the rules are used to ensure the game flows as designed.

No bunker. If on field  referee uncertain he can use big screen to confirm  his  decision. Video should not be a prop for referee. Referee's performance should  be  judged  on his ability to make  a decision  not give an opinion.

How I see things is, the Burton bomb is a unique weapon, we can scrore points even when we are not dominant.

Line breaks will come when Karl gets up to speed, we get Kicks back, finish on top in the forwards or put Wilson at fullback.

The next step is for Karl to run the ball more and Wilson to get more game time.

Perhaps getting Pele match fit, Patolo in the side or some other change which gives us more punch.

Averillo, Preston, Burton,  Fox and Kiraz are dangerous ball runners.

Sometimes Maroney needs to just concerntrate on giving good service.

The negative comments against Okunbor were justified because up until recently he was absolutely ineffective. The switch to the forwards has changed his game for the better.

We scored 2 flukey opportunistic tries from kicks, 1 well created one (Burton break) and 1 in between. You'll take that on any given day but we almost depend on those flukey kicks.

The bigger concern was only 1 real line break (Burton) in the whole game. 

I've always said, that just before the bunker makes ANY decision.... They should apply the "common sense" rule and only if their decision still stacks up, only then should they enforce it and go public with it.

It's an embarassment that common sense doesn't even come into the equation with these Muppets. 

Same goes for the on-field ref. He had every chance once he stopped play to send Mahoney off for HIA, to ask if it was foul play that caused it and yet he didn't. The Muppet.

FYI,

Hawks turned it on and destroyed the eagles by 116 points! 

And yes, I'm far from the beach. Time to watch that replay....TK has turned on itself after that game...

I've been a fan of JOK for a few years and always felt the attacks on him were alittle over the top given this team has been at the bottom of the ladder with so many other issues.

It's clear that he is better suited in the forwards but I reckon his versatility to be able to plug a hole in the wing can make him invaluable to a team if they want to play a 4 man forwards bench.

He made good metres today after we were completely dominated in that first half. It's not the first time he has changed the momentum. He also offers a Nanai or Luki type kicking option on the tryline which others don't. 

I'm glad many others have now realised he is someone we should persist with and develop.

Dont hold your breath mate. The officialdom at NRL headquarters are on a mission to ruin the game. Problem is they dont know it.

The ref must think Canberra are Canterbury.

I assume people online saying all our points came from luck or were a fluke missed the Burton break???…
The Avo try was desire, not luck or a fluke…
The other couple of trys were opportunistic, and if we didn’t take those opportunities the same people would crapping on the team go that…

Stoked for the win. That was a classic Bulldog comeback against adversity. This is what we all wanted to see...... a gutsy effort right to the final whistle and they didn't disppoint, plus, they got a win. As far as the officiating goes the NRLol and the match officials and their boss need to be released and replaced with personnel that understand the game and can ensure the rules are correctly complied with.

Mahoney played it down in the presser.
