I actually had the horrors when I saw the team announced on TEEV. After the first try down Gutho's side. I started to shake, then Semi goes for intercept & dogs in again & I got the DT"S (not the newspaper type & I haven't drank for years. so time to sleep or read a book.. From then on, what a difference, what a performance, yet we lose Mannah, was doing ok until that big hit on his dicky shoulder
Gutho awarded try with 2 forward passes in it, 12 - 10 to dogs
Half time.
Gordon out, Gutho to FB, & what a different player he is at the back. FT, eels 20 -12 eels win keeping dogs scoreless in 2nd half - Norman Man of match & tells that Keiran had a letter for the team & was read out in the sheds before the match.
Dressing room at end in celebration mood that I have never seen before.
The NRL officials must be cheering or more than likely crying.

Even with 1 1/2mins left I was still nervous.
They r slowly restoring it.. A fantastic team we have here
It helps too, when the Bulldogs go scoreless in the 2nd 40 which has happened a few times with them.
Very true Frank, despite it all, the hit to stop Kasiano was huge, the preceding penalty had me really worried as a try & quick conversion there was still time for the dogs to sneak in.
How did Reynolds stay on for the next set of tackles as he had been concussed & only went off then? Would not be surprised if there is a please explain on that one.
I was nervous with Toutai though. he dropped the ball at an early stage, & so did Terepo, that was the story of the game, nerves really stayed at play through the whole time, until the last hoorah. To end a game with a penalty & the ref holding the players until De Gois kicked it out, how many players from both sides standing on the opposite side line for the kick.
Toutai is just a risk imo. He is defo the weak link out there. Came in off his wing a few times, lucky the try was disallowed as Rona's hand touched the line. I'd prefer Faraimo.
