If I'm not mistaken, last week vs the Saints we received our 1st penalty somewhere round the 70th minute. I think that's a world record for the game in general. The stats guy for Fox was scrambling to find if a team had ever finished a game without being awarded a single penalty.
Most of the time we were never in great position to apply a lot of pressure with our kicking game. However we would have been far worse off had we not had it at all. Last week almost all of the kicks found the grass but last night not so good kicking after struggling to get out of our own end.
Last night at least 3 of the penalties we received were early in the tackle count attacking their line, when it makes no difference except for the refs stats and allowing the Dogs defence to get reset !
"Can't match Russell Crowes TPA pull that's all this is I have no doubt cap regardless years in the contract I bet you there's a sweet TPA in case of emergencies I'd put money on that.The only way Parra are to land a guy like him is to go silly or…"
"Difference is that Talagi played centre the full SG ball season that eels won the comp in 2023. He even played centre in JF that year. He didn't play in the halves at all that year. Risati has only played 6 for us"

Not sure on season stats but last night showed one thing with exception to the last penalty Perenara favored the Bulldogs MASSIVELY.
Des blows up and says it was wrong what about their slowing down tactics in the ruck all game...

I think what has saved our bacon yesterday was our excellent kicking game. Both Corey and Mitch were sublime in finding open spaces and kicking long.
