Cleary said as such ...it was their best 40 minutes this season... they were on fire

As much as Ivan shits me for our history, it’d be a brilliant story if Penrith made the GF and won. Kind of keen to see it happen from a historical sense. Doubt we’d ever see anything like it again if it happened.

Mitch Moses will always have the title

I still don't know if I have even forgiven Glenn Morisson.

Dogs haven't won a finals game since 2015, an 11-10 win over Dragons.

Not up to it.

But my main gripe is - all this BS media hype about how good a coach Ciraldo is, when he's persisted with a Burton/Galvin combo for months now and Bulldogs have been on the decline.

Mid-match he's forced to recall Sexton and push Burton to centres - and suddenly Bulldogs are a real and constant threat. Galvout being a passenger and Sexton instead the one asking questions of the defence.

I'll just requote myself here: interesting yesterday that Ciraldo did reshuffle the Dogs lineup to match the back end of last week - Burton to centres, Sexton to start, Mahoney to start.

EXCEPT unlike last week where the whole Dogs spine became involved, 99% of traffic went through Galvin from the kickoff, either as a short ball to Preston or a wider pass to Tracey. No idea why Galvout waited 60 minutes to throw another short ball to Preston, after that first try - it was 40-8 at that point.

It's too predictable at this level, at this time of year. You can't have just one guy running all the plays and kicking, the opposition know exactly where to expect the attack.

Eventually it yielded 26 pts for the Dogs but Penrith had half put the queue in the rack, including moving Garner to centre and taking off Maclean as a precaution.

Atrocious kicking game as well.

The issue, as others have identified, is for every sublime pass, Galvout throws 1-2 shockers over the sideline, like Benji at his worst. But unlike Benji, Galvout is too slow and not agile to threaten much with his running game. His runs are more "tuck under the arm" type last-resorts when the play has broken down.

Just spent an amusing half hour on The Kennel. I'm not 100% sure, but I think Lachie isn't as brave as Ciraldo thinks. The newfound hate, and the reality that Galvin isn't the promised one, makes for a hilarious read. 6 weeks ago, Lachie this, Lachie that, Wests are a shit club, Lachie is gonna put the icing on our cake, yada yada yada.
Is it childish to take joy in someone else's misery ? Probably.
Is it shadenfraude ? could be.
Is that how you even spell shadenfraude ? probably not.
Galvin essentially undermined 2 team's seasons.
We know, the doggies fans now know, even some of the media know. Gus is a fraud, and Galvin ain't brave.
