This is a pretty good watch given the conditions and the inherent lack of skill and humanity in the Dogs side and their supporters

Dogs have morphed into a pretty good watch after being dreadful for years

 

[_Ed_]

Ridiculous game.

 

[Burgey]

Honestly, the standard of field goal kicking in league is awful cf rah rah. Such a crucial skill these days but I still get the impression it’s an after thought for almost every general play kicker

 

[Burgey]

lol that play from RTS on the Burton FG attempt was cool AF.

Mitch Barnett also a very impressive middle these days. Just gets it done

Terrific from the warriors after losing their back three. About as gutsy an effort as any side could muster. Didn’t deserve to lose

Which one tho?

Seriously that’s what, 2 games in a row involving the Dogs with like 4 missed FG attempts.

That sucked but can't fault the guts. The 666 game fired up their hearts. Would have been easy to fold today.

Also our new kid looks fun.

Great predict.

Ryles probably the best bet of those available. Just have to see how he goes and who/ what he brings

Yeah I was hoping for him or Hannay in the end, as long as we see the end of Barrett I'm happy.

It's kind of funny that another game just followed where there were about another half dozen botched chances.
To say that it's a crucial skill these days is a massive understatement. The importance of having this procedure down-pat is imperative to not only the
kicker but for the entire team to build towards. The number of times a team is not getting the kicker into just the right position is staggering.
It's not like it's only vital in golden point but it's often occurring in the lead up to golden point. Not easy when players are charging at you from
3 metres offside like Reed Mahoney did the other day @Shady Slim but then it's in the refs hands to make a call.
Manly were also well offside but on both occasions the ref was too chicken to make the call which both resulted in the other team winning.

Another crucial aspect of the game that continues to get screwed up is the line drop-out.
While it's right to go short on most occasions, the execution of the kickers is often dreadful tstl.
There must of been 10 dropouts within a few matches on the weekend that didn't even make the 10 metres, often falling well short.
How the kickers can't at least get it up there to give their team a chance to compete is really poor skill execution.

Honestly you’d think they would be placing more emphasis on that part of their game with the introduction of the 2 point FG. I don’t think there are stats but it’d be interested to see their FG%…

Funny seeing Tallis having a sook over Maguire's comments again. The bloke is incredibly thin-skinned. He's a QLDer though, so it comes with the territory.

 

[Jarquis]

Now the Sharks decide not to be ****…

 

[Son Of Coco]

Hynes' confidence will be boosted by the fact the Sharks win as soon as he is out.
