Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2851771, member: 1899"] The Eels were completely lost in the first half. I'm not sure if it was the injection of a new hooker or the loss of Ma'u but they were off their game. Eventually they were able to get French & Gutherson into the mix but the 10 point lead didn't seem like a fair reflection of the game. The Bulldogs did a great job of getting them into the arm wrestle in the second. They aimed most of their kicks down the right, which took Radradra out of the equation and allowed them to win the early tackles. They gave themselves plenty of opportunities but they seemed obsessed with winning the territory battle. In the end, the game came down to a controversial strip penalty. Did Moeroa just lose it? Or did Lichaa really force it out? Perenara made the call, effectively giving the Eels the smoking gun they needed to win. Klemmer was fantastic both with the football and without it. He was the difference in the ruck and if he had more support the Bulldogs would have won easily. Dud call by Bernard Sutton and Luke Patten on the penalty try. Moses would have scored that for sure.
