I never once said Feagai was the only one who had a shocker. Most of the team had shockers. But Feagai and Isaako were on another level. But Issako has runs on the board where Feagai doesn't. Coach clearly thinks so as well. Feagai not only dropped but punted from the extended reserves as well.
and again never said you did but pretty hard to blame one guy who actually made tackles compared to 3 who didn't
Ok. Enough arguing about this. I never blamed one guy but Feagai and Isaako were especially bad. IMO Isaako has runs on the board Feagai doesn't. Coach clearly agrees.
well come back when coach says it lmao craziest ... i ever heard keep players with less tackles just because better attack lmao lmao
Maybe but only the Roosters games and of course our own make any difference to us.
With the way Dolphins have crashed in the last 3 weeks they wouldn't beat the team Penrith are fielding tonight.
Have had excuses. First year we overachieved in the first half of the season but came crashing back down in the second. Last year it was a combination of overachieving and injuries to key players. This year it was 100% injuries to key players. Still, even at 2/3 strength we thrashed the Dogs. Next year we will annihilate them.
It's just that a team like Melbourne doesn't give a F about us or the Roosters.
I thought Bulldogs were good against Penriths reserve grade team. Is this is their premiership window, better close it for a long winter.
Yep, injuries have killed us this year. Imagine this team even with the inclusions of Plath and Herbie. It's a 50% better squad. Offensively, this team reminds me of the Bronco juggernaut of the 90's. That team could score at will and were a threat all over the park. The Dolphins are headed in that direction. We've already been shown samples of that. But, atm, this club cannot sustain the number of long term injuries that has occurred and be competitive at the same time. They've faltered down the stretch strictly because of injuries. Nothing else.
Attack yes but have to get defence in order for the big games against peer opposition like Melboune and I think Penrith might recover again next year. Canberra have a young team though it remains to be seen what losing Fogerty, one of the best kickers in the comp, will do to them. Other than that, I can't see any team threatening us. Cowboys and Titans have very strong squads. If their coaches can get the best out of them. Or like us, get their defence sorted out. As for Broncos, maybe but with key players AJ in particular and Hunt a year older..... They don't have a decent hooker either. Mozar who they placed their hopes looks to have been dramaically overrated.
ffs for what they done this season and built on over last 3 season has been huge and will improve more buy ins from other club , and decent junior system we be sitting very well not sure why you bitching n moaning when 99% of fans here see what woolf n club are doing
Hello Matt good to see you have awoken from your 3 week coma, your teams been getting walloped while you were asleep. The Dolphins have crashed in the last few weeks with the injury toll catching up with them that’s the only reason. We still put 40 on you guys with half a team missing. We would have put that riff rabble to bed easily, so let’s not throw rocks just yet because a full strength riff will put plenty on you guys.
Good luck to the Dogs. They are going to need it. Out of the likely top 8, them and Cronulla stand out as the 2 somewhat worse than the rest. Tenacious defence can often get a team home early in the season but at the business end, teams need way more in attack.
