Staggy @ Bulldogs

Tate's a bit of both IMO. In attack, he's basically a winger. He doesn't like passing the ball, doesn't work with his winger that well etc (at least that's the way he was at the Broncos). In defence he's pretty terrible on the wing though, but is one of the best defensive centres in the world.

Anyway, about Stagg, awesome effort from him. If he and the rest of the Bulldogs keep it going, I don't see why they couldn't become premiership favourites a bit later on in the season.
 
Dogs had 39 missed tackles.

Against PENRITH!

Unless they fix that, it's the bottom 4 for them.

He's been a bit better in the first 2 rounds (he was good today) but he was average for the whole of 2008 for the Warriors.

I agree.

I think Tate is overrated by many.

He was brilliant before his kneck injury, but since then he's been fairly poor considering the heights he reached.

Ahh but they scored 28 points - something they had trouble doing last year. (scoring points)

...but it was 28 points against the Panthers.

If they tighten their defence up, they will be TOP 4. And they will - Every team's defence is a bit shaky early in the year so I doubt Kevin Moore would be concerned about it.

Besides, 39 missed tackles isn't THAT bad.

39 tackles against one of the top sides will result in conceding more than 28 points more often than not.

It was 39 missed tackles against Penrith. If they did that to the Storm or us, they would've had 50 put on them easy.

Plus as Jeb said, 28 points against Penrith.

I don't think we can stress the Penrith part enough.

Penrith!

They were lucky to catch Womanly at their weakest point last week, this week was more of a true indicator IMO.
 
The only things wrong with Penrith IMO, are their halves and their coach. Other than that they've got a pretty good side.

I won't dispute the coach call but they have a solid set of halves in Luke Walsh and Wade Graham should Elliot man up and use them.
 
Can't believe how a perfectly legitimate thread about a player can become a bitchfest so quickly.
 
Can't believe how you still want to continue the bitchfest when the original bitchfest was well over and done with.

Everyone has moved on. No need to bring it up again.
 
I'm old, my disbelief takes longer to kick in, and longer to dismiss ;-)

But Go Staggy! Good to see him doing well. Hope he keeps it up and some of those here who dismissed him as useless acknowledge that he's better than they gave credit for.
 
I always rated Staggy (except as a 5-8 of course). And glad to see him getting the wraps he deserves down at the doggies (evil as they are).

Great to see Civa give Ennis a serve too. Go big fella!
 
Good luck to him, hope he has a top season... Was the right move to let him go though. He'd be on good money down there and has a starting spot. Neither of which he'd have up here.
 
He did well again on the weekend

44 tackles
0 misses
15 hit-ups
7 offloads
2 takle bust

He is also topping the points in the fantasy league with 161 points
 
Wow. He missed at least 3 or 4 tackles a game for us last year, and probably made half as many actual tackles as he did on the weekend. I wonder what made him improve so much...
 
Who cares how ex Broncos are going. You'll notice one thing when you look at their teams. They haven't won 3/3.

The new Broncos, who are playing well have done exactly that.
