I don't think he is the real Marki,

Praised Sexton and didn’t rubbish Burton. 

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

Was bitter sweet...

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Thank you Kiraz

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

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

First try of the second half is vital. 

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

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

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

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

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. 

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 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. 

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

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

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%.

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.

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

OK im back.
Time for some debating.

What have i missed?

Broncos v Knights gives me some reasons for optimism. 

Best went off after 9 minutes,  Knights had to replace him with a forward. 

Broncos 14 errors, 317 tackles, 43 missed, 30 ineffective. 

Dogs v Cows 8 errors, 338 tackles, 33 missed, 12 ineffective. 

I think that our game was higher quality. 

While Reynolds has a good kicking game,  the Cows kicking was pretty good.  Seems like we definitely played in a higher quality game.

The Broncos do play better at their home ground, limiting the errors, penalties and 6-agains is the key to our chances. 

Just about every game, but especially the next 2 weeks.

Dragons and Warriors might be out of the mix, but might still be motivated to revenge an earlier loss or end our season.

I just hope that there are no more injuries.

Beating the Broncos would definitely take some pressure off us.

For the Cows game we were the best aide except for 3 key moments.  The easy try we gifted them at the start and the trys Preston and Hayward didn't score. Though Hayward probably scored. 

Against the Broncos we need to take all of our chances and not gift them easy points. Hopefully the ref puts the whistle down his sock. Sutton always wants to be the star attraction.  It says plenty wnen both coaches didn't like the way the game was reffed. 

I had similar predictions.
As with most sports, you revise your goals through the season and its normal for both fans and team to feel underwhelmed if we were not to make finals from here. 

Not sure how the run home is for us and the competing teams around us, but im sure there's going to be some huge "4 point" gamea in there.

Need to win those

We have Toups and  big Tom Amone signed for next season.

We need one more big body perhaps one of the Saifiti bothers who is unwanted by Newcastle, but possibly overpriced. 

Not sure why Patolo only played 8 minutes I hope that he isn't injured, 

Hayes showed that he can handle the middle. 

Curran was massive but ran out of petrol at the back end of the game, Critter also impacted by SOO. 

Defence was excellent especially considering that we didn't have King and Salmon, 

I hope that we stick with the same team next week and gives Hayes and Patolo more time in the middle.  Attack looked sharp at the start of the game.  But the end players didn't have the energy and we became a bit disorganised. 

I still think that we can do something this season,  we deserve to make the 8.

Starting next season with the current spine and a bit more depth in the forwards should be a receipe for doing even better,  hopefully finishing top 4.

I would also like to add one more good centre. That way we can be stronger without Critter. 

I said at the start of the year if we finish 10th or higher I would be happy and surprised. Now if we miss the finals I would be devastated. 

Team has played well above its ability.

We have had just enough injuries to break up our flow. We need a run of games with no new significant injuries.

We are just lacking a bit of class and finishing in attack and that might be Fox.

I can't remember the last time Fox played 5 games in a row for us. I can remember him out for more than 5 games at least twice. Perhaps he has only played 30% of games in the last 2 seasons?

It matters for us as we don't have enough class players or enough big forwards.  We need all of the cutting edge that we can get.

Cirro's presser summed up another reason why we lost, no sin bin for kneeing Hayward in the head. Hayward needs some acting lessons even if that is risking a HIA. 

In another game the Hayward incident might have been an 8 point try and 10 in the bin. Probably try 75% of games, 10 in the bin 99% of games.

Also no disruptor when Wilson dropped the ball. NRL always has a new rule which is enforced zealously right up to the time when it mysteriously disappears without notice. 

We need Fox back asap. He gives us an extra try or two. When Burton made that clean break and nobody was near him it summed up our season. Just no support. We need a bit more class.
