6 & 7 in Flegg also good players, especially 6.

I also like Casey, size, speed, skill and brains, handles most positions in the backline.

It doesn't seem to be a problem in AFL.

Brains?  Not suited to our team.

I'll say it again. What's the point of six again on the first tackle. Dumbest rule ever invented.

The Roosters sure get a lot of leniency in the tackle

Becoming a typical start. Early lead, dominate play. But then...

Let's see if this week we can hold on. I sadly no longer get excited by early leads.

And just like that, all the hard work of the first half undone. Now watch the Roosters crack on in the second half, just like the Broncos did and run away with it.

So hard to be a Doggies supporter these days.

Come on boys - we can win this.

Fekking cheats… 

Great to win but I'm still absolutely disguisted with the team. If it wasn't for the disallowed try, I'd be calling for Barrett's head. Even now I still think someone has to be held responsible. They clearly don't have the fitness and/or mental strength to hold out games and it's only by luck that we got away with it.

Great win, we didn't get many of the 50/50s 

Not sure that we are the worst team in the comp 😉

Better than a root.

Yeah there was only 2 knocks on and obstruction in that no try and 2 forward passes in the one before.

Barrett should book an eye test for the ref.

The first one is the hardest.

No questions the ref nearly screwed us as well, but our inability to hold out leads is becoming a consistent problem. The try conceded just before half-time and then letting them come back in the second half (atrocious ref decisions notwithstanding) are clear examples of an ongoing pattern.

How did they pass the obstruction on Burton? Clear obstruction. Must’ve known they had him on the sideline for the drama.

FMD.

And f*** the Foxsperts with all their “Roosters are off their game” shit.

We beat the c***s, they didn’t.

Just got to attack off our line in tough games with less one out play - it nearly cost us. Just got to play some width footy to get off our line and then we are right- a confidence thing and I don't buy a fitness thing at all - the way they tore up field after that last  Burton kick says it all.

and a win despite Okunbor in the team - geez  Nadan Burns Allen and Coz way ahead of him- Shoupp never to be dropped again

It did feel like theatre. The way the video ref stopped talking for a long time before clearing any obstruction. I assumed Nick ‘the prick’ Politis stepped into the box with a suitcase full of cash. 

Yer. Schoup was great. We need more players like him and Pangai. The guys willing to do anything to win. That Terry Lamb mentality. 

Dogs beating the Roosters, Eels down 15-0 at halftime, natural order has been restored to the footy universe.

I have to agree.
As much as the win was great and takes some pressure off, we still play like busted arses. Standing start runs from 20m backline passes. 
It's so clunky, so disorganised and so frustrating to watch.
Even reserve grade plays better.

Yes. If he was only held up by a foot it was enough to impact on the final tackle

Now days, but not when I was younger.

Yes that was disgraceful and should come with consequences.

I expect nothing less than that video ref being hung to dry and gets to sit out afew weeks out of the bunker.

You could train a monkey to be a touch judge now days.

Can anyone remember when we were on a better winning streak than this?

😁
