I think that the key to our side finding the next gear is tuning up the attack against Manly and the Cows.
I see these games as similar to the Broncos, good attacking teams, but suspect in defence.
Many of the so called experts have picked Manly, I wonder how many of them tipped the Broncos.
IMO Salmon is the key player for us, he needs to stick to his role, play up tempo and nail the execution.
While I love a lot of what Mann does, he does slow down and stifle our attack occasionally and that sometimes leads to errors.
The other possible path to team improvement is Underhill playing and smashing it.
Ideally Salmon, Underhill and Skelton all play and they all smash it, Cirro is then left with a major selection headache.

How was that try passed by the bunker ? There was definitely separation from the ball . We need to settle down and get more of the ball . Manly can implode.

Turbo not in bin????...
Forward passes delux...
Do we have a penalty yet???...

I remember the Bulldogs had a couple of average games before the semis .

Just got beaten by a much better team tonight. Not much we could do. But that what makes it worse. We didn’t have what it takes to go with Manly.
It’s not the ref. It’s that they were way too good. Their forward pack destroyed ours. They won the ruck. It’s why small ball doesn’t work when it counts.

I think its the loss we needed to have to bring the boys back to earth. They've had a shit ton of pressure on them last few weeks. They'll come good next week.

TRACII GUNNS taken without the ball...
We d9nt paly this bad again this year,..
As for the talk the past couple of days about not having another gear, I think we've actually played 'within ourselves the past 3 months'...
Would rather see Bailey start than the Fish...

ATTITUDE MATTERS...
We never gave up...
Funny seeing Lou Reed get rubbed on the head by a Manly player and not reacting.. yet if Lounrubs someone it's a warning or penalty and a month of media coverage...
We smash the Cows next week...

We played footy at the end when it didn’t matter. Need a much better attitude going in next week. That loss should have embarrassed the whole team. It was a pathetic effort.
I can’t get over how bad Skelton was. Cost us at least two try’s in attack and defence. He was as bad as any player. Very glad he signed with the Tigpies.
I get the feeling after the easy first try we thought we had it win and stopped putting in effort. That and some very lucky bounces of the ball for Manly with all the field position from getting destroyed in the middle. We were no chance.
Such a shit way to lose

We have what it takes to go with Manly, or anyone... We played our worst game for several months, they played their best game all year... We won't play as bad again all year, they won't play better... Enjoy your night on TK w8th the Mock and the other 'I told you so'ers'... And yeah... not a s8ngle call went our way all night... there's your 'here we go again'...

Such a shit way to lose I wasn't too worried when Skelton left. Just a bad day at the office and Manly played well in the first half. We are going to have to beat the Cows with whoever we have. We definitely missed Mann and Critter, Burton and perhaps Xerri out next week. I hope Cirro can get us in shape for the Cows.

We need to got set for set with bigger teams with high completions.

And yeah... not a s8ngle call went our way all night... there's your 'here we go again'... I’m far from wrong mate. Manly played well tonight but have played better this year. Against all the top four sides. They can go with any of them. And it’s because their props destroyed ours. It sucks but it’s true. Mason will let you know more about that on this weeks podcast.
I’ll agree we weren’t up for the game and can potentially beat Manly if we can mitigate the loss in the ruck. That game looked like a lot of games from last year where we lost the ruck easily.
Like I have said many times. We are just lacking the size to go with the top four. Maybe even the Cows and Eagles. Our work effort and attitude has been good most of the year. This game was an anomaly.
My point is next year we need to sign some big mobile forwards. Or at the least bring some young ones through. We also will be much better with experience from this year.

Just leeaving the game and while we looked a bit flat Klein had a hard time keeping womanly onside. Not making any excuses but it was the Klein and Sutton show tonight and we couldn't pull a decision.
