Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3112405, member: 1899"] The opening exchanges were brilliant from both teams, the Eels threw a lot at the Bulldogs on both sides of the ball and the Dogs managed to stay resolute. Canterbury had a good opportunity to take the lead into the break, but Wakeham butchered his penalty goal and their attack has left a lot to be desired. The problem is that it's all up to Lewis. Outside of Lewis' bomb, the Bulldogs have thrown nothing at the Eels making it extremely easy for the Eels to contain the Dogs. I want to see DWZ step up, he's a quality player and so far he's been guilty of putting himself in no man's land. He needs to give himself some space and get himself on the outside of the opposition. If not, he needs to pop up at the ruck and challenge those players like Evans, Paulo, RCG etc. who can be exposed through the middle. The Eels have been more expansive with the football, but have come up with some costly errors. The Bulldogs have done a brilliant job of containing the Eels left hand side attack, Lewis in particular has been cutting down Matterson with some great tackles. I wouldn't necessarily give up on going down that side of the field, I think Blake/Ferguson will eventually put one over their opposites, but they need to test Wakeham out more. Either get him 1-1 with Lane, or throw a second man play down that edge. [/QUOTE]
