MK is it really that hard to acknowledge that the Bulldogs put on a solid performance.
The game was an absolute cracker, but in the end the sides approached it from two different angles, and in this case, the Bulldogs had that right angle.
Manly went for the physical approach, which, to be honest almost worked last game against us, and certainly worked the first. Des however saw it coming and trained the team to absorb that physical aspect and play through it.
Sure injuries to Manly during the game didn't help, but that's footy.
Either way I thought it was a great game of footy for all fans of Rugby League, whoever you support.

How did the Raiders beat them - precisely ? Is that the type of footy you could realistically do in a Finals match ?>?
40% of that game was Raiders their best footy all season, 60% was the Dogs being absolutely terrible. Jono Wright had an absolute shocker that day as his wife was due to give birth anyday, and, by his own admission his mind wasn't on the job.
