So, did we play 80 minutes this game?

[Dani_]

Subject says it all.

[TC]

Much better.

[Taliesin]

YES
Some niggle stuff in the first 40,so they did some silly penalties but they also got pinged for penalties 'created' by the puppies Nice to see the team did not get thrown by this or lose patience
Second 40 the harder the pressure - the brighter the diamond

TEAM Such a small word but so effective when it works

[Mike_The_Undertaker]

I doubt it. Seemed like a real scrappy affair

Great last 20 though

[Super Cronk]

yeah....off to a great start then penalties and mistakes slowed us down...last 20 we blitzed them which is good news...meaning if we can get the first 60 right then we will be good for the finals

but still great effort ...couldnt be more happier

I think they did, but I was pretty wasted with my mates watching it, I will have to watch the replay.

[Lord Reynoldson]

Did they play 80 minutes? ? ?

...........NO!......they slacked off for a couple of seconds and allowed the Dogs to score a try.

Our handling in the first half still needs to improve though.

Orford's kicking game - a cause of concerns for many weeks - brilliant.
Our defence - the best performance Craig Bellamy has ever seen since arriving here.
Our handling and discipline - still room for improvement.

[Surandy]

DAMN!!!! If only they could play that well every week!!!

We would be certain to win the premiership.

Two tries with one man down, great stuff.

Greg Inglis was awesome, Cronk proved his detractors wrong, the forwards made good metres, I had plenty of reason to cheer and drink to their great playing (like I need a reason).

[Thunderstruck]

Yes they did and I think that was the first game this season too. A scrappy 40 minutes but if you take away the errors, you could see spirit, commitment, and determination. That's the kind of team I'd like to see every week. Sure they played hot potato the first 40 but there's absolutely no lack of drive and it made sure they kept their cool to see them through the final 40 on top.

[steaming stormer]

The guts and heart were there for all to see. In that second half, we looked like we had to crack with all the pressure on our line, but we aimed up and kept them out. Then when they had two great chances to score, again it was our heart that kept them out. Notably Billy chasing down Luke Patten and Boofa getting to that ball after Billy allowed it to bounce and they kicked ahead

I reckon the Broncos game was close to the most perfect game I have ever seen.

But in that first half the Radio callers were going off thiers nuts say how the dogs have butched trys and

28th min: The Dogs have made sevral mistakes after enjoying the wealth of posession over the past ten minutes but nothing to show for it.
50th min: No change in the score line bu the Dogs have bombed a few opportunities

Were we lucky to not of hit a better side on the night??????

The point I am making is most games I can see the spirit, commitment, and determination the boys show. Even if the results don't go our way.

[Earl]

Will Bellamy have the guts to drop Greg Inlis this week with Matt King back?

[steaming stormer]

Yep, unfortnately he will be out. I am not all that worried about Steve Bell going to Souths though, as Inglis will be starting centre next year.

[Thunderstruck]

Mike, you're a guy who's positive regardless of what happens on the field, of course you're gonna see all that even if we lost!!
