Well done boys, a great win that not many saw coming including myself. Well done Ryles to get them back focused nd what a great way to honour our 86  champions at the game.

  • Anyone know what happened to Jack De Belin today? I thought He was strong in the first half and then didn't see him after the break. Looked like he was leading the middle early with solid metres and defence, so strange he didn’t get a proper second stint. Honestly felt like one of his best halves in Parra colours.

    • I think his job today was to lead the middle defence to start the game. Chase the collision. He did it extremely well. He came on at the end again 

  • 3. Moses - Sensational, just looked ultra focused. Kicked for 772m (more than the Dogs entire team), his defence was superb & converted perfectly. That's the Mitch Moses we love.

    2. Paulo - Didn't think he still had this in him as a starter - 169m, more than the starting Dogs props put together. 

    3. Nanva - So many important defensive efforts / kick defusals, hard to believe he was playing his his 2nd game.

    Special mentions Penisini & Kelly. 

  • 3. Guymer: He was everywhere today and scrambling in defence sticking to almost every tackle he made. Really impressed with his effort.

    2. Volkman: Huge game in attack and defence, digging his shoulder into every shot he had. His try came at a crucial time as well.

    1. JAC: That first try was pretty amazing considering the space he had, and then that shot on Curren. He was immense the whole game and having a huge year, pretty happy for him.

    Notable mentions: Nanva and Penisini in the centers were brutal in defence and worked hard, Paulo and Williams busted their guts out, Moses' kicking 🚀

    • Nanva with that try saver on Tracey in the first half was crucial. Also, Pryke on Xerri try saver.

      • Yep, 2 great moments LB.

        Nanva was holding onto Tracey for dear life, and Pryor only just got Xerri before he was away... exactly the type of thing you want to see from your rookies! 

  • 3. Paulo

    2. Penisini

    1. Moses

  • Will for 3

    Nanva 2 - i reckon he should keep that jersey moving forward

    Jnr - 1 best game all year

  • 3. Penisini

    2. Paulo

    1. Williams

    Credit to Adam O'Brien, he certainly can not get that Dogs attack firing consistently.

    We need to further improve our defence to beat Manly at Brookie. 

    Great to see a game flow for once.

    Solid debut from Pryke. 

  • 3 Volkman. 
    2 Moses
    1 JAC
