It’s all ciraldos system and coaching. Yes we have better players this year but he didn’t choose the squad last year but has recruited a lot of the players for this year. He probably is the reason Penrith were the best defensive side of the nrl era
I don’t think buzz actually hates the dogs he’s just got an agenda against Gus. He criticised the recruitment earlier in the year but has been proven wrong on that . He’s just clutching at straws now
I’ve also noticed we are getting more numbers in tackles and they are getting to the ball runner quicker giving him less time. Ciraldo would crunch these stats every week.
6th best defence in the comp and 4 of the teams ahead of us have had a bye. So we are pretty much a top 4 defensive team atm. Our attack is around the middle of the pack.
Honestly we could be Smokeys this year for a great run
A lot of balls starting someone half your size. Why doesn’t this dumbcunt focus on improving his shithouse football career instead of picking fights after getting flogged
We need to move the ball like we done against Melbourne and roosters. Knights won’t be able to stop us. Hopefully hutch does not fuck us on the right like he has done. Hoping he doesn’t play
We beat storm easy with a proper halfback tbh. We had so many opportunities watching the game back and finished off so many sets by just shifting the ball to Critta and hoping he does something. I’ve had it with Hutchison the **** needs to go back to the roosters
I can see us winning by a large margin if we are relentless with our attack. A crafty halfback would be a massive point of difference and Hutchison just doesn’t have the skill or talent. He’s done a job for us in steadying our attack but now it’s time to be aggressive and make a positive change...
I was supportive of keeping him there up until now. The time is right for a change and the team is starting to build a lot of confidence. Both Taafe and sexton would add another dimension to our attack behind a pack that is building nicely.
Just need to keep Tracey at 1,, Xerri in the centres. Keep Liam knight out of first grade. Playing Taafe in at 7 would be a bonus. Go out there and get the win it’s a must win game
You really have no clue about football if you don’t think we have the players. They are a team that has just been put together and need time to gel. We have more then enough talent to beat anyone and have proven that
No it’s the shittest culture. You build a culture first then talent wants to be a part of it. Thankfully short minded people like yourself aren’t running this club
I wouldn’t want anyone else to coach this footy team. He has a passion for the club and knows how to get the best out of his players. Gus made the right call in appointing Ciro
Look at the big picture . We are a much better side and I believe we will play finals this year. We are unbeaten at home and we should get another win next week.
You can see why Ciraldo went with Taafe at fullback he is like another playmaker in attack but would be interesting to see Crighton there. Tracey safe as houses though
Poor **** tbh shows what a shit club souths is just hanging him out to dry. He hasn’t been a good coach but no doubt the souths players should take some responsibility and where’s the club management ..no leadership at all
Gus has made it clear he’s looking for front rowers and probably a halfback . We won’t be making any big name signings in any other position I don’t think
Definitely an opportunity. I’m not sure if more dogs players will pull out and don’t like betting this far out from the game but atm the line looks like the go. Dogs were paying 5 bucks to beat the roosters
Can’t watch this game over again. But although the roosters were down to 12 and then 11 for the final 7 minutes, we had two hias and many other busted players who got injured. Just happy we got the two points
Xerri should stay on the right edge. Once Preston comes back we can be lethal on both sides of the ruck. Our halves just need to feed them properly and not continue to go down the same side
No need for the defeatist attitude
yeh who gives a fuck we lost our fullback to foul play and had to reshuffle so how’s that different . Had Taafe stayed on the field we win by 40. Roosters are a bunch of grubs and they can get fucked
I’ll give you boys some insight..remember the 2020 grand final. Storm were up 24 nil or something and Penrith come back to within a try . Similar to this game. Storm were the better team but when they got up by so many they didn’t know what to do with so much at stake. That’s how the boys felt...
I’m not concerned. It’s a strange situation to be in. No way we win that game last year….im proud of the boys and the work Gus and Ciro are doing. We’ve gone through shit for 6 years but we are back now
The dogs just need to win some games..that was the theme of the week. Well they fucken done that..they came out and won it in the first half. Roosters have the best team on paper in the comp. I can’t believe we won tbh before the game I’d hoped we’d win and we’d be competitive. A few days will...
Rugby leagues a funny game with momentum. I’m shitty about the for and against we had a chance to put the cleaners through them. But at least we got the win and hi the boys can learn from it. You need to put your foot on the throat and never ever get complacent
