Great try to the Dogs. A much improved side.

Useless bloody eels. You had one job.

 

[BroncosHQ]

Tuilagi keeps getting caught infield and the edge ends up getting burnt having to wait for him to catch up.

 

[BroncosHQ]

IIRC you had to have both feet planted in the field of play to be back in play.

Gutho being a glory hunter with the cut out ball... he was put in space and just had to go through the hands

eels trying to defend a lead instead of trying to win.... useless.....

 

[BroncosHQ]

lol the eels blew that one

You could say that it.... Slipped away from them?

 

[Canonball]

Eels lost that ... mess of a game really, so many mistakes, a lot of niggle

 

[KPWarrior]

Well done Doggies! Took the hard route but got it done!

 

[sup42]

Decent game.

Pleased for the Dogs fans, the last many seasons must have sucked.

They look good, solid, unspectacular but tough.

There is enough there to keep surprising people.

From the angle we saw, he looks to have only had one foot planted.

You only need one

Safe to say I'm a believer after this afternoon.

So much went against the Bulldogs, yet still got the job done. THey should finish comfortably inside the Top 8 now.

Looking at the doggies fans celebrating reminds me of us last season, after many years of disappointment.

Really? They beat an Eels side with a load of defense issues who are placed 14th for a reason. After their bye they face the Roosters followed by the Sharks. They may scrap into the 8th but comfortably?

Big call this far out, but I'm willing to stick with it. That's a big win in the context of the season, big crowd, a lot going against them, the Eels coming off a big win, playing some great attacking football and they defended their arses off. The contrast between Round 1 and now is night and day and they should only get better from here.

I don't think they'll make much noise come the finals, but they're trending in the right direction.

Yeah

Nah

Doggies have been in the finals and won too many premierships for me to compare them to the Warriors

 

[BroncosHQ]

Doggies have the second best defence in the competition behind Penrith. They deserve to be where they are and if injuries aren’t too unkind I agree they’ll make the eight. I had my doubts about Crichton as a captain but he’s been an inspired choice.

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Lomax wasn't even charged for the kick collision. Not even a fine.
