Solid team!

Didn't expect Kiraz and King back so soon though. Hope they aren't underdone.

Edwards and Morrin miss out.

it just goes to show the difference between players who are hungry to get back, and players who are half assed.

I'm actually surprise that Edwards missed out, as he has been very good. In saying that, Hughes has shown that he is committed to the cause. I hope we can hold onto Edwards, and even Morrin, whos only issue is size.

How funny is it, this week getting the least desirable time slot is actually to our benefit, as we'll be playing on the freshest version of the ground this weekend! I am picturing plenty of injuries as the weekend progresses.

Interesting comments regarding Kyle at 4:47. Sounds like the idea is to put him in another position.

Yeah the grounds going to be a mess if it rains during the weekend up there.

Complacency is such an issue at our club, and the front office need to take accountability as well.

When we beat a crap team, we hear all this "what it means to be a Bulldog" talk, and then almost like clockwork our pack gets rolled the following week.

Feel sorry for Casey. Alamoti left him high and dry for 3 tries tonight.

Can't afford to have players racing out in defence like that, and ultimately those conceeded tries cost us the game.

Time to give Skelton a shot, he can't be worse defensively, but at least he has a bit of pace.

Looks like Kiraz was playing injured too.

Gotta admit, Okunbor played decently again tonight, and Averillo is really starting to hit form. Preston had a cracker too.

Yeah like it's good that Alamoti is trying to have an impact, but he has to play smarter.

Kiraz could barely run even early in the match, surely they saw it in training!

Man how good is Horsebrah playing? his ball playing is getting very good.. I think he will play Origin this year. We should try and get him to the Dogs permanently!!

I really thought we would win tonight. I had Canberra by 4 when I originally did my tipping but changed just before kick off to Dogs by 4.

The shittest part is that the game was there to be won had we not started so poorly. They had it won in the first 20.

Our team is improving but we are still losing games on the back of just the little attention to detail and effort areas.

You'd have to think based on this presser, there are going to be a few players having very stern words to them this week.

Possible as he's no faith in Casey's defence?
Casey did fail to position and contest at least one kick they scored off.

Welcome back mate :)

We are just lucky that Gus is at the club and won't take anything less than guys who are willing to roll up their sleeves every week, not rest on the laurels after beating a crap team. I know it's tough, but the players choose to play, and they get paid handsomely for doing so.

I really wish Kyle's attack would have improved because it's sad to see a guy who actually gives a fuck get dropped.. I keep wondering if all of our guys played with the desire that he and Reed, and Preson, Kiraz do where we would be sitting on the ladder.. It's hard to attack or build pressure when your middles get beaten every week!
