Post Match Bulldogs v Warriors - [Round 18, 2024]

[Dantheman]

Stop hyperventilating. It has nothing to do with the injuries.

You are cooked mate

 

[RustyFT]

Went back multiple plays for the Montoya shoulder…

No call for the hit on TMM

 

[The Warrior Waka]

When Burton put one of his bombs up. Rts was the closest to the ball. Yet, He looked at Pompey so Pompey had to sprint for it but was to far away. Effort plays or lackof in these situations pissed me off. Especially our backs.

When things got tough for us our forwards played tough. Covering back injuries and doing a more than commendable job. TMM was lost when shit hit the fan, CHT went missing.....SJ for all his so called faults has always stepped up and smashed the clutch plays. When we needed him , he was there.

It's like we are cursed. When our wings started to come good. Both the fuckers got taken off lol.
When we had the chance to play Taine. Webby said nah, CNK is all good. Then he got taken off...

Proud of our effort. That was gutsy! And how about Leka!!!!?? Ooouuwee!!

 

[Aman 2.0]

I can remember abiut 3 games this season where I thought we’ve been shit and deserved to lose. Every other game I though we were the more pysicall and more
Dominant team and still lost. Stats back this up. We are too 4 in every catagory. Our half’s shuffling has been so fucking determinatal.

Season over I think but a lot to take away and hopefully Webby pulls some strings next season. We need more X factor and speed. . To think Leka may have only got 5 mins if it wasn’t for the injuries. For the rest of the season I wanna see all our young guns bleed in

 

[shuffle]

One of the best loses ever!

Don’t like losing and Blocker is an idiot! Praising the Bulldogs but I loved how the other commentators were on about missing the back 3 and the courage of all the players out of position.

Half’s let us down but they also helped keep us in the game.

Leka Halasima that’s all. But also could have scored one of the best debut tries. His effort was like of veteran status!

 

[tyrael]

Fuck man. Webster needs to rip into the refs once in his life.

Oh I didn't see the play....


Fark off.

 

[Matiunz]

Yet another example of a draw being the right result rather than this golden point unofficiated lolly scramble

Still think teams should get 1 point if it goes to golden point with the winner getting 2, negates some of the lottery effect

 

[snake77]

Like the years when Johnson was at the Sharks and we'd constantly lose close ones.

This had the feeling for quite a while that it would end in heartbreak.

Similar to games in the past where we'd lose to Manly as they had DCE who can nail the key field goal. They had Burton. He was unlikely to miss too many.

One reason having Johnson back the last few years was a relief as he'd nail those moments.

You are cooked mate

Its simple. Walker is 100x better off the bench. He fatigues too fast on defence and it slows him down for his ball playing. Thats why he starts hobbling around ~ 30min mark.

 

[Bippidydoodah]

A++ for effort, C for execution, we should have won that game. Even with our back 3 missing

 

[Aman 2.0]

All I ask again are we too honest or too dumb? Why not tell Freddy to goninto tackle and take a grazing elbow or hip and come off for a hia so we can get Taine on.

 

[the WARs]

I am now at the bar watching rugby.
Boring

Yes after that game... what a fight by two closely matched teams ..both teams should have put away the other muti times ..if only Taine had been on FB ... been bagging monty of late but that was a pretty huge game from him till he joined the rest of the back three WTF never seen that before??

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Halves came way up short today. Simply shocking in most facets

2 points gone begging again.

We did well to overcome our injuries but when needed which was most of the game, halves went missing.

Very disappointing

Couldn't agree more.

I take it everyone will be screaming for CHT's head just like they were after one bad performance from SJ?

Oh wait....

 

[Makasene]

I'm sorry to say but wanting to win the game from a penalty for a head clash is weak sauce.

Contact was a bit late but Salmon coming out of it the way he did is never going to concede a penalty.

 

[Wrighty]

Good post. I enjoyed the game as well as I am sure many of us did despite the loss.

Once it went to golden point they were always going to win as you need an experienced field goal specialist and we had CHT.

It was a great game very entertaining. Halasima looks very promising indeed. Roger played well too. All our players played well. Even Ford I thought was excellent.

 

[Wah u talkin about Wallis]

I'm lost as to why the bunker has the last call on most decisions. It's like a separation of responsibility so the ref can't be blamed. Man in the middle should be shown replays than allowed to make a call.

 

[BigUCE]

As much as it kills me to say it, that may be season ending. Even if we go onto win every single remaining game, we would only just sneak into the 8 (based on last years points distribution on the table). Something I just can’t see happening with the way games are being decided of the back of disastrous refereeing mistakes. Absolute heartbreak man…

Injuries force subs. I just don't get how you're glossing over that.

Regardless of when you put him on this game, he's still not playing impact minutes.

 

[Matiunz]

The Warriors are the only team that seems to get penalised when the bunker retrospectively puts a player on report 1, 2 or even 3 tackles later. It never happens in any other game.

Was thinking that during the game, I’ve seen it happen at least twice to us but don’t remember it ever happening in another game

 

[BarnesNZ]

You could tell this was gonna be a golden point from the first 5 mins..I should be a NRL bookie..how can I get into that field of work?
