Parra's D impresses, but I thought their attack lacked dimension. They finished over the top of the Dogs, but I thought Dogs were struggling in last week's game too.

As happy notes, Dogs missed a bucket of tackles and handed back crucial ball.

Individual brilliance from Semi Radradra tipped the balance of the game. The thing I got out of it is if the Bulldogs' structure breaks down, their attack is still stale and unimaginative. So obviously you have to win the battle up front…like every game. But the Dogs seem to be the absolute worst when they need to play off the cuff.

Any chance Foran suspended for touching referree?

Rumours are that if Parra reach the final 8 they are going to burn down the stand again

I agree. Reynolds and Mbye are only dangerous on the very front-foot. I think reduced interchange is hurting Dogs and Parra have shown that if you commit numbers in defence and good line speed, you totally blunt the Dogs forward drive.

E.g. Kasiano needs space to wind up. Tolman and Graham are slow, not so hard to stop 1-1\. Klemmer is also pretty slow.

this will be a massive game! both in terms of our season and the crowd itself

if we win tonight and the weathers good it''ll pull 50k again. hell, it could do even better given the form of both teams (2-1 for the eels and 2-1/3-0 from us)

if we can win it i'd say missing the 8 would be a very poor finish for the team. even 9th or 10th wouldnt be good enough. but let's see how we go tonight first

Was it a bad injury?

 

[Russell]

Dogs 46 missed tackles

Says a lot

Jackson had 8 alone

Happy - I think if the rest of the team had the focus on tackling like Jackson - the Eels would not have won. He was sensational, tackled himself to a standstill.

Mate, i have no idea. Trade him out anyway he's rubbish. I'm sure they'd know on the kennel.

3 tough games in a row for them - we'll make it 4\. Hopefully off field dramas start to affect their mind set. Unlikely, but one can hope. I don't think we can contain Semi. He's on a mission.

Not overly convinced with Parra at this point, or the Bulldogs. Or us. Not any of those teams has been tested by having to play interstate yet- that is when a team can spout its title credentials- by beating the Cows, Brisbane and perhaps Melbourne away.
Parra got seasily beaten by the Broncos and beat a Bulldogs side that was gifted a victory against a poor-performing Panthers team.
A win today for us will be a really positive sign, even though it isn't against a premiership contender.

So our game vs Parra is on the Monday? No double header? The NRL are morons when it comes to promoting their product, enticing crowds and providing value for money. Ameteurs at best.
