OFFICIAL | POST-GAME Round 7 | Post game | Bulldogs 36 - 12 Knights

[John Matrix]

should of got at least 3 wks considering its a bad look for the game

What happens on the field should stay there, isn't that the code..

To try and follow up inside is a ugly look for the game especially with Mahoney not even expecting it.

That wasn't even a crusher, hastings was faking it ffs

He is so precious. Every time you see it looks like something happens to him the Academy award training kicks in...

The fact that their only try when the game was up for grabs was off the back of multiple set restarts on our line is such a huge effort by our boys..

I noticed Kikau and salmon defending closer in on the weekend. Our players also did a great job finding their front when tackled and getting quick play the balls, while getting Knights onto their backs. Our kick-chase is as good as anyone’s, and the backs are taking a greater share of the hit-ups. A lot of good little changes are happening to compensate for our smaller forwards and an un-creative half.

I think the heart of Ciro’s defensive system is effort upon effort upon effort, not where you stand or how you move up etc.

It makes sense now…

Would still like to see our defence hold that one out. It's capable.
Good to see in NSW Cup too, the only try against them was an intercept.
So, obviously the same system in practice and our second team showing they can implement it effectively.

yeah absolutely.. I reckon if the Mahoney incident/sin bin doesn't occur they don't score at the end.

it will be interesting to see what O'brien does with his side this week.. I really feel like Crossland at present is the better option at 9 for them, he is a ball of energy... Brailey is solid enough, but pretty conservative.

Ciraldo might be on to something with the smaller mobile players in the middle. If this works out we might change the game

I can remember we won a premiership with a "small mobile pack" in the 80s...

we have never been about size always about being tough and hard as we are seeing but coming through now we do have some big boys in the team and are very strong and we have a very quick back line right and left I would say the quickest in the league

 

[Bad Billy]

Did this happen at the ground?

I was there. I didn’t see that.

I am interested, that's why I said it lol.. Newcastle don't look threatening at all with Brailey at 9 for me... I'd be playing him off the bench

When Sutton and sulka Fifita come
Back and he has possa there and Hughes

the the back line Preston kikau Curran critta Addo Carr xerri mann tracey it’s actually quite a smart move but Gus Gould to have taffe even it’s a great side and know they all
Know each other it’s showing on the field

 

[GoTeamRaRaFunky]

He dropped it. Salmon did not score

thought it looked like a try, he trapped the ball with his torso and didn't really lose control.

Money well spent.

I was there. I didn’t see that.

I was there too. I didn’t hear any booing of Hutcho.

There was sarcastic cheering when he was replaced.
