Yeah true.

However Turnstyle Cherry-Evans has just had another assist.

Adam is a wonderful example of how a player should go about his business in the NRL
Some stray thoughts about the Bulldogs from yesterday:

I didn't even realise Napa was on the field until after the game. He was completely anonymous.

Foran looks horribly broken. I'm a huge fan of his and it was sad to see him get smashed repeatedly.

Lewis is an annoying little grub that can't tackle. His last tackle options are too predictable- he'll either run it or put up a mildly challenging bomb.

They are so hosed this year. Hasler really did an incredible job screwing their cap up.

Holy poo poo the can of worms is completely open.

High tackle on a falling player gets a sin bin, cancelling out a try and leading straight to a try. The NRL will be having a lot of issues to deal with out of this.

I don't have an issue with it....but like anything it wont be administered consistently because this is the NRL.

I don't have any issue with a high tackle like that being punished heavily. I do have an issue with the fact that it never has been called that way before. And I'm betting it won't be again.

Also what are we now going to use the sin bin for? The cannonball tackle on Benji last night was dangerous, reckless and late. Should that be a sin bin?

I think we should get rid of the report system and sin bin in those occasions.

The Raiders v Titans game is pretty rough. The weather is awful so I wont rip them too much.

That English fellow Bateman looks alright and Horsburgh is really aggressive but his hands have been terrible (but again the weather). Wighton is doing well at 5/8th. I still cant see us making the 8 but the team doesnt look too bad all things considered

Refs send up a try to the video ref for a forward pass, remember they can't, and then decide to just make the call

I don't want him back and I think alot of Bulldogs fans feel the same. He was probably, in my opinion, the pebble that started the landslide that led to financial hole we're in now.
