Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2840031, member: 1899"] It was gutsy win by Cronulla, but what stood out to me more than anything else was the effort from Canterbury. The Bulldogs haven't been a fancy football side in a long time, but what they have prided themselves on is their defense and ability to rise to the occassion. Inside the final fifteen, Craig Garvey puts in a great grubber kick that should have resulted in a goal line drop out. The initial efforts by Kasiano & Frawley are lax and by the time the cavalry arrives it's far too late and Cronulla eventually go onto score a length of the field try. It typified the Bulldogs effort on the night. Despite coming under little pressure or being stretched too far defensively they were happy to go through the motions and stick to the same boring routines that rarely trouble the defence. A couple of one off hit-ups, an inside ball to a fringe runner, give the ball to the half and see what they can come up with before the kick. If they had somebody of the calibre of Johnathan Thurston or Cooper Cronk I could almost understand it because they're the masters of rescuing sets with their last tackle plays, but they have the worst kicking game of any side in the competition, including the Brisbane Broncos. Fair effort by Cronulla, particularly the senior players who stood up and were accounted for, but the Bulldogs were very poor and if there's any justice in the game they won't feature in September.
