We lack genuine pace and X factor in our attack. We are not able to ice those few half chances we create. Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

Okay you 2 point field goal Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

Monty is solid at best- but feel we need someone with some genuine speed and x factor on the wing. Who's been watching NSW cup- out of Jethro and Sua who is ready to go. Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

Spot on SBW was amazing, but that debut of Kiraz in a season when we were horrendous was pretty amazing also Sent from my iPhone using...

And he could still cover multiple positions starting at 6 with Luai as 18th man. Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

Monty doesn't do a lot wrong. But we do lack a bit of X factor on his wing. The two young blokes look okay in Sua and Jethro. Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

Klemmer peaked to early in his career. He was the best prop in the game there with us between around 2014/2017 . He started to decline with us in his last year big time and has dropped right of a cliff ever since. I remember one origin game in particularly where he absolutely dominated. I think...

You forgot no missed tackles as well Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

Bloody great debut from Maxi and barring injury has basically packed his bag for game 2. Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

Thing that is shitting me with the media. They have been pissing in our ears all season that our spine isn't good enough to win the comp. We go and bring in addition to improve this and the amount of carry on has been off the charts. Damned if you do damned if you don't. Sent from my iPhone...

Dude seriously - Gus owned him and put him in his place. Let's see you credibility get questioned and see how you handle it. Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

Not sure what you were Watching - Gus smashed Chammas Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

Destabilising what though? We have bought in a lot of players in recent years. They have all had a positive impact. I haven't heard Galvin actually do anything other than say he wants to play for a coach he feels can develop his full potential. The Tigers started this whole shit Storm by...

That's a very short sighted view. Plenty of champion players have played in poorly performing teams . Galvin has a huge ceiling . Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

Our game plan has been a bit off. To many inside balls and crash plays. It's like we have almost forgotten to hit our wingers when inside the opposition 20. Montoya looks like he is playing T busted at the moment. Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

Kiraz apparently out with a calf injury - hopefully not for a month like reported. I know next man up is our mentality , but at some stage it has to impact us Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

We don't want it out of the game, but with the game becoming so sanitised when small non dangerous offences are getting 3-4 weeks suspensions to minimise head injury risks and then stuff like this that causes injury goes unscrutinised it frustrates the fans . Sent from my iPhone using The...

He actually did it twice - arm was up around the throat and head area for the first hit up of the game when Maxi came away reeling . Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

Kikau came up with crucial errors - threw a ridiculous offload that gave them the ball on half way that lead to their last try . It almost cost us the game . Came up with a few other errors as well. Can't give him any points tonight . 3 Lips 2 Kiraz 1 Tracey Sent from my iPhone using The...

Journos making up crap again. Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

Have always noticed with Sutton games. He is very deliberate in his attempts to hide his bias. He evens up the counts sneakily. Ie he will give six agains to the team he is against on the first tackle so that when the stats are reviewed it looks even. He also tends to blow penalty's for the team...

That's gold. Skeletor is the best villain of all time. Fucking hilarious . Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

We may be the best fit for him,but were does he fit in for us. I don't feel Galvin is a 7. Either he or Burton would need to play lock to accomodate him in the team. We should be resigning Sexton for 2 more years while we wait for Woods is how I see things needing to progress. Sent from my...

It would be so he can take the next hit up. Tracey as he is smaller better running it back when the line is slightly broken on a kick chase. Kiraz being bigger is better to take the hit up next play , not gonna get man handled as often. Sent from my iPhone using...

What was obvious to me was that we had a plan to tire out their forwards and were very patient in doing so. From minute 1 we were Relentless turning the ball back inside toward their ruck area. Paid dividends later on as we started to make inroads towards half time . Sent from my iPhone using...

Thought watching live it was a knock on- but then the replay tended to suggest it went backwards. Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

Dude he got tackled by a sharks player and pushed into another sharks player.He doesn't make contact wit Stonestreet if he isn't pushed. Think you need a night of the terps. Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

Of course we missed other aspects with him not being out there. I focussed on the kicking to make a point that old mate is clueless. Burtons running threat was missed. I think him not being there allowed Parra to hold off and mark our other players a bit tighter . If Burton is out there you have...

I didn't like Curran playing on the edge. Despite him being named at prop it was clear that he played edge, Fifita started at prop and Salmon occupied the 13. Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

You just showed that you have no idea. Burton was greatly missed today. Our small forward pack struggles to compete with most teams in terms of yardage gained and we often rely on Burtons long kicking game which gives us about an extra 10-15 metres every set. We lost the yardage battle big time...

Thompson didn't play that many games in all honesty Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

It's so we have coveron the wing in the event of injury - much the same way we had Wilson this year when JAC was out. We also have options to move Kiraz to centre as well as Tuali if our centres are out . Plus having good depth in list positions keeps pressure on players to perform. No issue...

Not the player he was when he joined us. Looks like pulling a hammy everytime he runs and seems to have bulked up to much in his upper body and can't run as quick. It does suck that we take a hardline stance on him and he gets picked up pretty much straight away. Not sure it sends a message that...

We have plenty of money in the salary cap. So we don't need to offload from a $$$ point of view. It's more so from ensuring we have open roster spots that we would need to shed a few players . Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

They can't force him out- but they have told him he is unwanted and can look else where, as he is a player who will be highly sought after and be able to land a better deal somewhere else he has probably accepted fact. Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

Classic sizing was bullshit. I am usually a 2xl and in classic gear I was a 4xl. Way to confuse people trying to order online Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

I remember blogging with the boss - or bogging with the boss as I liked to call it, as it was all bullshit. I rember they were very selective with what she responded to. I wrote a bullshit post that was supportive of Will Hopoate having Sunday match days off to test the theory. Sure enough she...

Very well run organisation - there idea of a rebuild season is finishing in the top 6. Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

Don't think it's a new signing as we wouldn't of been able to negotiate before November 1 unless it was a player who had permission Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

This is a really good story - hope he goes well. He looked a decent halfback in the making back before the illness. Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

The reality is that if Sexton had of been in our side from round 1 this year we probably make the top 4. There were a heap of games this year at the start of the season where we dominated teams but through a lack of playmaking were unable to ice these games. The first Raiders, Rabbits and...

And who do you think signed Ciraldo in the first place? He probably isn't here if Gus isn't. Gus was pretty monumental in Ciro going into coaching in the first place, and even more paramount in getting him yo the Bulldogs. I disagree that we aren't seeing fruits of Gus recruitment and youth...

Yeah okay. If you think Ciro himself has got our junior pathways firing then have fun living in dream world. Ciro has got our first grade side firing , but Gus has nailed recruitment and also installed the right coaches and pathways to ensure we have ongoing success. Sent from my iPhone...

Gus is a fan and has previously sat down for a chat with Hunt. Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

I would have been all in for this at the start of the year. With the emergence of Sexton and Woods on the horizon I am not sure where Hunt fits in . Maybe as a 14 floating between dummy half and 7 , but we sort of have Hayward doing that type of role and doing it well. So not sure we really...

And if you come in commit to it and jam the centre so he can't offload . Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

Skelton is a metre machine, but that's where it stops for him. Bottled a certain try with line wide open as his finishing technique was poor. The first try manly score he comes in and leaves his winger unmarked. The last try he had an opportunity to help Tracey make the tackle but he stood there...

I was blowing up deluxe before they scored the try saying that prick never packed in Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

How fucking else does the nrl suspect him to make that tackle . I dare say Ron Coote, Johnny Raper would of been suspended 6 times a game completing their cover tackles Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

I have not been one of those . He is in NSW cup as he has a lot of areas to work on. Yes he is great at bring the ball out of our own end. But support play, defence, finishing and general positional play aren't up to scratch . Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

How about just before half time when Turbo knocks the ball out of Mahoney arm . He should have been penalised for either not being square at marker or being offside as he was a metre off the line when the ball was played. Also yet to see Burton knock it on in contesting the high ball when...

He didn't need to make contact with Xerri- he could have went around him . That's the part he milked Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

I actually thought there were some other calls in the game that we didn't get. Turbo should have been binned for taking out Mahoney . Turbo should also of been penalised for being offside when he tapped Mahoneys arm . He either should have been judged as kit square at marker or ruled a metre...

To the letter of the it's no try , but I think It's about time they change the rule though. Sick of seeing players milk this shit. Just another instance where the rules have become to nit picky and players exploit it rather compete . Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

Skelton still has deficiencies in his game. Makes a lot of yardage but so to does Kiraz. Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

I would be keen on the signing , but the price needs to be right . I am not going above 600k. This is actually for the players benefit as well. Quite often you see blokes paid overs on potential and then they are savaged by fans for not delivering on the price tag. Ash Taylor from the titans is...

Didn't start in many of those games though. It's an achievement but sure . But does it make an immortal though? I think not . Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

Harold Horder should be firmly in the mix for being an immortal . 150 tries in 136 games. 9 state games for 23 tries and won 4 premierships across 2 different clubs. He was the games second major superstar in the era just after Dally Mesenger. Dave Brown deserves his spot as an immortal but...

Why didn't we use Hopoi today. We lacked a bit of punch through the middle today.he could have added something and sat on the bench for 88 minutes ? Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

I don't belive Stefano is a player we should be after - he is from a loosing culture and frankly isn't setting the world on fire with the Tigers . 108 metres per game isn't working hard enough for my liking . We already had a Stefano 1.1 in Tevita and look how that turned out. He appears to me...

Fox has been off the pace since he he got injured in the 2023 Good Friday game. He doesn't seem to have been able to hit top speed like he was previously normally. I have noticed he is electing to kick a lot more than previously when he gets in open play. Once upon a time he would have just...

Why wasn't the Knock on for the raiders ruled off side in the lead up to the second try. Raiders player is in front of team mate who knocks on and then dives on the ball. A penalty there and we are kicking for touch and about 40 metres downfield rather than a scrum ten metres out. Sent from my...

I will like Ciraldo more when he picks an actual halfback. He is shooting himslefmin the foot with his continued persistence of Hutchinson at 7. Sent from my iPhone using The Kennel mobile app

Reed just needs to pass the fucking ball - he had developed a Micheal Liicha style pivot run and pass and its stifling our attack

I still belive Burton could be an elite 5/8 but he does require a dominant 7 who can control the game to thrive there . We don't have this currently so it might actually be in Burton's interest to play in the centres till we have an established 7 as much as it pains me yo say.

2 facts in this article that show the writer is dumb as dog shit. Campbell Gillard didn't monster us . In fact his stats aren't that great considering how much ball Parra had. The dogs couldn't exactly buy any decent props as there realistically wasn't any actually any that became available. We...

Might be his last game in the 7- our attack has no direction or fluency

Mahoney is our biggest issue - to slow with is delivery and stifling our attack with his little sidewards shuffle. I just want him back throwing bullet passes off the carpet like he did at Parra. If he isn't willing to do that then he can fuck off.Our attack has looked sharper with Hayward both...

This could be a decent signing . His last stints were at the Roosters when they were winning comps and also at Penrith the year they started their march to domination in 2020. He will cost us nothing and with a shortage of props available I think it could be an astute low risk signing

Looked way better than Reed to be honest

Hayward over Mahoney

It's really a mark of what we thought of TPJ that we let him go without a fight. On analysis the club is desperately short of front rowers and on his day Tevita could be one of the best. But you would have assume he was a poor trainer and a terrible influence around the group hence , why we put...

I hung a shit this afternoon that was solid - is he calling him a crap player

A major issue for us last year as that we didn't exactly have our forward pack on the park all that often. Thompson, Kikau, RFM all missed the majority of the season, TPJ was out for the first 6-8 weeks as well from memory. So we really missed blokes being match fit which lead to a lack of match...

Where did I say I was happy to pay that much for those players mentioned. I also question where it is stated that those players you mentioned are on the amounts you mentioned ? You have just made those figures up .

Irresponsible would or paying 1.1 million for a prop. If this is the price required than it's a pass for me. We need to strengthen our front row and we can buy 2 to 3 decent middles for this price. 1.1 mill is what you pay for spine player. Titans have the best prop rotation in the game and...

Gus Gould was apparently meeting with Luais manager up at a cafe in Warners Bay today at 10am. Word is that the Tigers and Titans are actually offering more money than us, but we appear as an attractive project . Hope the meeting was positive .

Klemmer 2023 keys stats -139 avg run metres a game 61 minutes played per game average of 25 tackles a game with tackle efficiency of 98%. I know he isn't the player he was when he was the best prop in the game. But those numbers are numbers we are crying out for and would seriously give us...

Yes he is - but has to be at the right price

He was elite when he was with us. Has dropped off big time. Probably better than anyone we have though. Take him for 500k max

JT can play a high impact game for 70 minutes . Not sure why you would want him in the bench.

His partner looks thrilled - great I am in Belmore now instead off Recliffe

Because he was probably on minimum wage, living away from home and came to the realisation that there is no centre spots available this season at the Bulldogs

People do realise that this bloke was probably only signed to fill a spot in the top 30 as clubs are required to fill all spots by a certain date? We bought a cheapie and have been able to move him on as he is now surplus to requirements

100% it's an issue having to spend the cap as well having to fill the top 30 spots each year. That is why we seem to purchase a few duds each year. Pele and Nu Brown yo name a few were just bought to fill roster spots as there wasn't anyone decent available. That's why they were bought and...

He was a tackle burner , but this was because he played with a poor set of halves. A good halfback would of told him to fuck off out of the way. I stand by my original comment that he was solid in the middle for us and was an integral part of our last golden era.

Yep- South Sydney Redfern area based but play at Accor

To be fair - Tolman was a pretty good foil our forward pack in the 2012-2015 era. Never missed a tackle and worked all day mistake free. Prime Tolman would be perfect for us now.
