224m and all of them were tough runs. 65pcm.

Also his head turned nearly 180 off the shoulder. If he came out of that tackle facing forward he scores imo. As it was it was only his own elbow that stopped the ball touching down. Hiku held it up from there on.

They all got him high. It was Drinkwaters shoulder that turned Oates head nearly 180. If his head still facing the right way I think he scores that.

Can't believe they answered those. They might be doing some media training to dodge those next time.

Every other player on the kick returns list is a fullback. It was interesting that teams kept kicking to Oates. The Dragons kept doing it and Oates kept catching them and charging through them.

Also the “space” he left Cobbo resulted in either the ball or Cobbo going over the sideline (usually early in the tackle count).

Yep. We still need to clean out a few players and have better reserves than rookies or Ryan James. Haas, Staggs at the top of the list.

Haas is way worse than those two. They never undermined our season. Hunt never gave up for us. He made that tackle on a broken leg. Dearden just never got going.

His chase on that last try was rubbish. Only one who came close was Carrigan.

Oates, Flegler and Carrigan are making big metres. They combined on one kick return for about 70m.

Reynolds isn't getting his kicks right again.

Is this trick enough?

Hehe. Thanks mate. I didn't watch the game but i watched the score. I still needed a pick me up. Go Wynnum!

Wasn’t Pereiras last game a bit of a shocker? I’m a bit worried about him and Staggs together.

Isn’t one of those 18+1 (one more scored in Origin?). This year is even more impressive as he doesn’t have Boyd there getting the ball out to him. It’s a combo of Tesi, Mam, Reyno getting the ball out there and from Oatesy coming off his wing to hit gaps.

But there's why he comes in and gets overlapped. Because he has to more often than not.

It wasn’t long ago I wasnt confident going into Bulldogs games. And now they’re on the up that probably won’t change.

Shiba couldn’t hold onto the ball for a few seconds let alone pass it.

Just watched a bunch of Fifita highlights from 2019. Fifita was on the right for the first one then mostly on the left for the rest. Our strategy was give him the ball and he’d do the rest. It worked for the most part that year.

I don’t hate players that leave us but his form dropped immensely when he left and I’m not sure he’s motivated to get it back. If we do get him back he needs to do more than run every time he gets the ball. He is a bigger ball hog than Herbie and part of the reason Oates stopped getting the ball.
