Missing Haas, Carrigan, Walsh and Shibasaki to Origin, losing Arthars and Jensen midweek and being down Hunt as well meaning a complete restructure of the side and they can't beat that side? Please they are pretenders. Let them cry.
I'd also add te kura and tapau (although self inflicted loss) to the list. They walk into that side if they are around. We had smoothy playing prop ffs haha crazy win. Not at the same level but closest thing to the baby broncos 2002 win...
 
So Carrigan, Haas, Shibasaki, Jensen, Arthars, Hunt, Walsh, Te Kura, Tapaou, are realistically the list of outs for last night’s game. I’m not sure if Baker’s neck was right if he’d be included, but it’s a hellva outs list.

The dogs were also missing a few but I wouldn’t say as much as us, so that win (compounded by some truly woeful reffing) must surely go down as one of our best. I’m still a bit pissed I missed it live.
 
Our defence won us that game.

We were physical and full of grit. This is a determined group who are starting to play a style of football that their coach wants.

If we can play with that determination each week, with our natural skill, we can go all the way.

How nice is it having a winger that can turn quickly and shut down attacking raids!! Karapani is flying!
 
Even if we lost this game I don't think Madge would have been too upset ... 16 players showed plenty of effort and plenty of heart, it was just looking likely that we wouldn't be able to overcome our outs or the officiating.

But somehow the found a way to win.

I think my favourite part of the night was his they gave it to the crowd and celebrated every try and the win ... This is one tight group
 
Rewatching the 2nd half. I absolutely hate to ref blame and shit, especially when you have such a good win like that, but some stuff is inexcusable.

Reynolds complained at half time about the dogs being offside all the time and the ref says he will keep an eye on it. He then calls Curran out, meters offside and lets it slide when he charges at Reynolds attempting the kick straight after HT.

This is the stuff that drives fans crazy.
Ref let that blatant professional foul by Conor Tracey slide as well.

That was how I felt most of the game. They were giving it everything they had in defence even at 16-0 down.
 
Win for straight running, when they used Delouise and Piakura as was intended they scored.

The passing and running off the ball weren't perfect but the runs from Piakura and Delouise made up for it.

The double lead for both tries meant the Dogs had to stay and couldn't move off.
 
Still haven't watched it. Can't wait to finish work, but being in Europe, can't watch the game for free until tomorrow.
Where in Europe are ya buddy? Im in Nice, the south of France watched it here and it was glorious lol
 
Which one is better against the dogs, 2006 comeback or 2025 comeback?
