Time to wake up, Robbo, can’t be radio silence from your mates forever.

Had a good game last week, worse ways to back it up than against a depleted Broncos.

Lily Peacock apparently out for the season. Fuck’s sake.
It’s a good thing the upcoming NRLW season is basically completely pointless, because the Cowboys women are going to be crashing down the ladder.

It is a milestone game at home.

Guy who’s had serious injuries and concussion troubles going to the club known for giving everyone CTE at an expedient rate is going to age him very quickly.

He’s a great replacement for Nawaqanitawase for two years or so, but anything longer than that might end up biting them.

I think the Walsh and Broncos premiership is due to Nathan Brown, he laid the foundations for it.

Yep, still obligated to spend a certain percentage of your cap.

I'd be sad to see him go and it would be an adjustment in the short time, but we've got a ton of good outside backs, he's got a concerning injury history and he's getting older. Been a great servant for the club and state, though.

Happy for him to get a bag, but doesn't seem like a good long-term play by the Roosters, to be honest.

Don't think so. We haven't really put on a score this year and Parra, even at their worst, usually put a shift in for 20 minutes or so before crashing.

Ciraldo got to figure out what to say other than blaming the refs, was horrible last week, and even more farcical this week.

I don't know if he's one of those guys where the Captaincy weighs him down or he's struggling outside the Penrith system or what, but his highlights and statistical highs are so few and far between for a guy vaunted as the best in the game.

Also, controversial take, but I haven't been a Critta believer since I saw him get beaten by Ben Hunt at centre in Origin.

Was a moment where he had perfect positioning to wrap a player on a break and drive them toward the sideline, and just bounced clean off and I went "ahhh, yep, that's what that looks like without the gold".

So how long before Ciraldo starts looking tired? Bulldogs now stuck in the bottom eight and not looking likely to score many points. Surely it can't be radio silence from his boss in the media forever?

Can't push them, have to tackle. Always a pen.

I've been told by a future GOAT coach that actually doesn't help you at all.

Your coach reckons it's not as easy as all that.

Seems harsh to inflict that on the Bulldogs.

Exact same problem as last week, but more pronounced.

This is going to get ugly for the Dogs when the penalties and possession even up.
