I thought his best years were at the Storm. I remember all the hype when he went to Manly and honestly he struggled a bit.

The Bulldogs have produced another sensational upset, to keep the Warriors sweating on their finals hopes currently sitting in eighth position.
In a game that ebbed and flowed on the scoreboard, the Warriors appeared to be gaining momentum in the second half, however some desperate Bulldogs defence kept them alive, despite only being in the Warriors 20m once in second half, up until the 77th minute.
22-year old Lachlan Lewis, who was also celebrating a birthday today, was as cool, calm and collected as you would ever see from a half and slotted the winning field goal, 35m out from the Warriors goal line. The Bulldogs have a promising future with Lewis having played just his seventh first grade game today.
The positives for the Warriors included a double David Fusitu’a and some nice attacking play once again from Shaun Johnson. He did grab his right ankle and foot late in the game, however seemed to be moving freely towards the final siren. For the Bulldogs Rhyse Martin produced a perfect performance with the boot, taking his career kicking percentage to an impressive 96.6%.
The Bulldogs can now breathe a little easier as they move into thirteenth position with two rounds remaining, while the Warriors will need to ensure they secure victories in the final two rounds, to remain four points clear of the Wests Tigers and secure a finals spot.
Up next for the Bulldogs is a tough assignment against the Dragons away, while the Warriors will meet the Panthers at home in a desperate match for both teams.
