Round 14: Dolphins vs NQ Cowboys

I thought both Cowboys try were suspect. The first 50-50. The second was a farce. But shortly before their first, we were on attack and Bostock was very obviously hit in the head by the shoulder with force and nothing resulted from it.
The refs having a shocker
 
57% possession and 400 more running metres (Cobbo 208). If this keeps up, the Dolphins will run away with it. They look dangerous with ball in hand.
 
WTF. when did anyone last see a deliberate knock on penalised? you see about 3 every game where the centre/winger does it to stop a try but no penalty
 
Donga is having a blinder. If that isn't enough to get Matt back, nothing is.
 
The negative was Ennis in commentary. Late in the first half or early in the second, Gilbet from a restart bounced off a couple of defender and went on to run for another 15 metres. Ennis burst out laughing. I really can't stand it. I don't understand why Fox hasn't told to stop laughing so much!
 
Another good team effort. Really hard to nominate the best. But I'll go:

3. Cobbo
2. Gilbert
1. Kodi
 
Well it wasn't champagne RL. But it was efficient. and in years to come all anyone will see is W W W W W.

I'm not getting carried away. So far my Dolphins fandom has gone either great start shit finish. Shit start good middle shit finish.

1. Gilbert
 
That was about the score line I was demanding from this game. I wonder if it is woolfy coaching or how other teams plan to play us that they might keep up for a half, but it's easy to see when we are the far more dangerous side and the boys just sink the slipper in and put the game away.

That donga try was an absolute ripper. Also donga in the play for the Katoa try was superb as well. Pushes someone out od the way from marker, 1 on 1 starts driving the dummy half runner back off his feet and then spins around as soon as the ball comes loose and it's only that jmk is there that he doesn't pick it up. Effort and ambition and power. Gilbert's run off the kickoff was hilarious. I suspect he spotted Mahoney and figured it was a good chance to smash him cause there was no one in front of him and the big fella isn't slow either.
