LIVE GAME Round 9 vs. Bulldogs

[Vicious]

Dogs are no chance of top 4 imo. Every team that plays the tigers looks like a top team as we are f... hopeless.

The 4 hits ups than a pop gun kick 9 times out of 10 don’t help.

I actually feel a little sorry for her. She is clearly not up to that standard and the NRL has put her in a position where she has been set up to fail. Her confidence would be shot.

And it’s not a female thing either. I think Belinda Sharpe has been really impressive.

Or a real coach to teach these kids

Damn. Thanks for keeping it real brother

Well let's see where Kasey Badger is next week....probably reffing our game again !

Barefoot or in boots, Mikey?

Imagine the worst - squelch.

She has to learn her craft from the bottom I guess...

I don't know mate. I disagree on first look. I didn't think he applied any direct body weight to the legs. At the end of the day you have to be able to use your body weight, just in the right way. Wont surprise me if there is no charge.

The legs wrapping around and pulling down, looked dangerous to me, id have wanted it for us!

Bulldogs were very disciplined. Their completion rate was close to 100% and their line speed was phenomenal. The officiating may have been a farce but the better side won.

Line speed is made easy when you're not made to go back 10 metres.

I am over Bateman. So many silly moments in games. And whilst Bula is our future we need him to lift his intensity across the full game

vent is inappropriate????

I thought you must have written " [This word has been automatically removed]" or similar.

 

[Droppy05]

He was one of the best back rowers in the comp when we signed him and it was Madge who signed him.
I’m not sure why it’s not working but I suspect it’s got something to do with coming from a stacked team to a shithouse one.

Could it have something to do with the coaching?

I get it, but the very definition of a hip drop is swinging your body around onto the legs. It didn't happen. Your allowed to use your leg to trip someone as long as you have contact with them. I think the give away is Curran grabs his thigh, not lower leg. Anyway, we will see.

I thought Finau really struggled at 9. He has a terrible left to right pass. No wonder he plays 5/8 on the left side only.

Yep...he aint the solution as a 9,thats for sure
Id like to see him given some time at 6 at some stage

It looked dangerous, and with everything going on with hip drop tackles he was stupid for doing what he did. However the way the contact unfolded meant it wasn't even worthy of a penalty. That was not a hip drop tackle at all. Looked awkward, but at no point did Sezer's body weight or hip make contact with the legs. It was just awkward twisting.

Agree 100%. It wasn't a hip drop tackle at all. Just looked awkward, but there was no contact that was illegal.

Anyone got an f….ing clue what Bula was doing there when the ball was chip kicked?

Looks to have had a leg issue of some kind.

 

[tigerman80]

Ref killed is no doubt . But why don’t we keep going to naden and Staines when we killed them in the first half. Sezer is not first grade standard. Stef must be believing his own hype back to normal for him.

 

[cktiger]

Dogs line speed is the biggest improvement since Ciro took over.

What line speed? They were offside so much you don't need line speed.
Have a close look art the game again.

Was that for the dogs 2nd try? His effort on that try was worse the Latrells. He jogged 30 metres and just missed getting there. If he showed any urgency at all he stops that try with ease. That was really poor.
