Can anyone see Cook start to get gassed later in the year? First year playing 80 minutes a game.

Frawley missed two tackles in the Bulldogs’ loss to the Roosters
Its not always about the miss tackle count in D, have a look at Moses in the Eels loss, he only missed 2 tackles but that edge with Him, Hayne and Taka was a mess.

What if... last Sunday was Smith's age finally catching up with him???
or it was just a glitch
Nevermind... as you were
May be it's something off field effecting his performance. Imagine playing for 80 minutes and only getting paid for 40. That's half

By then he'll have made you enough coin to buy PNG. Who cares.

There once was a creature named Chewie.
Who loved to eat things that were gooey.
He asked for a limerick
and I thought I knew the trick
but I didn't know if his name rhymed with that young rookie half from Souths.

With the Dogs making some changes, I have an uneasy feeling about RFM.

Sometimes players are so hopeless in defense that they don't even get close enough for it to count as a missed tackle

You can’t miss tackles if you don’t get a hand on them. Defensive positioning and reads have been piss poor.Clack Bocks wrote:

I was thinking of Katoa to Robinson (assuming he is named)
But Katoa to JMK might be a goer. How long will he stay in firstgrade though?

You'd think Mbye would see the ball more often with a rookie in the halves. He's looked good on the field and seems to be in a good headspace in interviews I've seen.

If your D is missing tackle you've got bigger problems than Moses and a burning bush.

The Dogs fans really hate Frawley, and they've seen more of him than we have. Not that that means they're right.

Josh Cleeland is also the back up half out through injury at the moment

Reports are also that due to form Latu is moved to bench as Aarow makes the starting side

What has his role off bench been? 38 mins 22 tackles none missed and Try assist over 2 games. Impressive
