All NRL Games [Round 18, 2025]

Agree. Massive choke by the dogs. Curran was terrible. They pulled him, and his replacment dropped it first touch. Referee made some strange decisions favouring them also. How did they get that scrumfeed just before their first try. Kickow knocked it on for sure. That ginger ref's a Muppet.

Adam Reynolds touched it on its way to Kikaou

The Galvin fiasco might just have derailed their chance at minor premiership at least

Here's the thread @Wombat Junior

Hidden...on page two! lulz

edit:

wait... no-one could unlock the secret of "page two". sheesh

This comp is wide open, Storm seem to be the shaky favourites atm, with their nemesis the Riff in hot pursuit. All aboard the rollacoster folks, it's going to be a wild ride.

We have Seidud , Bulldogs have Ciraldud

How did they lose that ??

Getting 16, 18, or 20 in front seems to be a curse for lots of teams this season, I'm scratching my head the way this season has paned out.

Pass was touched by the broncos, but the fox commentators missed it

Galvin’s game last night just reminded me of how I’ve always thought of DCE tbh. Pushing passes, trying to score off every play, no composure even with a big lead. That style of play can look good occasionally, but it just doesn’t translate to winning games consistently.

We will be significantly better with Fogarty next year

Agree 100%.

I feel bad for Sexton, his style is working so well for the dogs, but Galvin is the "superstar".

I am looking forward to us getting Fogarty. A disciplined half could really unlock our team's potential.

Seriously, if we lose on Sunday no matter if its a close one or they blow us off the park or whatever.....

This place will be in meltdown mode until sometime Monday arvo.

Let's hope so.

As I said in the thread earlier I felt they slackened right off just before half time. Come back in cruise control mode trying to protect a lead.

It was only ever a matter of the Donks scoring a try and trouble would set in.

A spine of Tracey, Galvin, Sexton and Mahoney is almost as bad as ours. They can't help when momentum swings.

And as we know very well , momentum in this game is a very big factor , when a side gets on a roll & starts getting penalties / 6 agains they are almost impossible to stop

Maybe I might have to back the Eagle for the remainder of the season
That second half performance has shown nothing to me, putrid!

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

He requires a strong halves partner to help take the pressure off him, a person who can guide the team around the park whilst he can conjure up some "special plays".

Some of his pass selection(s) and the timing of those during passages of tonight's game, left a lot to be desired.

Nothing would please me more than to see Dogs begin to unravel and Galvin relegated to reserve grade (take it as a compliment @TJ55 ) but...

Did he have a strong halves partner at Tigers last year when he starred for them? the mistimed passes are probably down to subtle changes in how Dogs play v the team he's been with until now.

But either way, Sexton and Mahoney pushed aside for Wonderboy ... yes yes, destabilise please!

Ciraldo has become something of an instant supercoach, always looks so smug and all-knowing (bit like Seibold after his coach-of-the-year season?) so the mean side of me (probably my best side!) would love to see Dogs season fizzle and Ciraldo squirm at post game pressers
