2 years ago Broncos went through a similar process. They upped the training regime. Some players couldn't handle it and were cut. Broncos finished 14 that year. Seems to have paid off.

Team is burnt out. Coach is burnt out. Their season was over 8 weeks ago. All need a rest.

80-0

It's already over.

Just got sacked from Titian's. Would make a great assistant coach.

Wins

It's not the size or attitude. It's more so the skill level. Previously had Graheme, Tolman and Jackson all in the same team. They were a small pack and played 80mins. They hardly missed a tackle in the middle.

Thought I'd add this to the thread just incase. Today proved Burton is not a half back.

Two dodgy calls that result in tries. Getting worst everyweek. Knock on in air - try parra Double movement - try parra

Should be minimum 4 weeks ban for making forceful contact with the head. Fox Sports has bias idiots such as Tallis and Brent Reed.

Shocking rules. Rubbish reffing. Terrible sport. Reed gets done for hip drop, next tackle gets purposely forearmed to the head. Goes off for Hia and no penalty.

Your an idiot. Mick Potter is the attacking coach.

It's been so long since we won at belmore. I don't remember when our last win was at this venue.

Too many idiots like you on the kennel

With Justin Holbrook set to be sacked from Titans this week. Is he the man to lead Bulldogs next year?

Don't know what Jack is like. However Paul Stringer was an amazing forward. Him and Omeley were great together for Northern Eagles.

Potter is doing a decent job. I would keep him in the job for the 2022 and 2023. A future coach as assistant like Slater or Ennis would be good. Maybe Mark Omeley as defensive coach.

Potter is good player coach. I think he is NRL standard and is doing extremely well coaching our side.

What are you talking about. Give him a chance.

They went in this week to fix the cheap penalties. Discipline was much better today. Great job Mick Potter. He had been great for the team so far. They now need to work on goal line defence and unforced errors. If we can sort these two areas it will go along way to posting some decent wins.

He wants a Bulldog and experienced coach. There are only 2 at the moment. Ricky Stuart and Justin Holbrook.

Anyone have the inside info on this?

Would be nice to see Dymock involved in the club again!

Barrett is as good as gone. Few more weeks of these performances and his position will become untenable. So which coach? I'm thinking the Daddy.

It's not enough that he gets sacked. It needs to be games of thrones style...SHAME SHAME!

Can we get Lewis back.

Jackson actually had a good game. Too many errors and game.not being managed well.

Was good tonight.

Left 5 years ago. Why we still playing one out footy? Since then we've had 2 different coaches and a new team.

I think he has lost his mojo.

I know it's lock down but should we consider going to Belmore to celebrate?

I can't blame Barrett for the loss. These guys are just ridiculously inexperienced. The game was done and dusted and all they had to do was close it out.

I think it will ease everyone pain including the opposition.

Flanno played really well against Newcastle and since that game he has been getting smashed on the field which has lowered his confidence. Playing in reserve grade will be a blessing for him as it should help to build his confidence and allow him to earn his spot. He will be able work on his...

Forget it. Stick with Flanno for now and spend the money on a hooker.

Mick Potter is a gun coach who has not been given a fair crack at first grade. He is a coach who can individually improve players. Glad he is involved in our system.

Just want to list some of the changes made over the years to speed up the game and introduce more fatigue. 1. Limited interchange to 10 to allow for more fatigue and more tries. 2. 7 tackle set..kicking dead or allowing for catch on full in goals. 3. Heaps of Ruck Penalties 4. Partially...

It was a dumb decision to sign Hetherington. His record indicates that we may not see much of him on the field!

I think it's just luck mate

This is a must win for dogs to bring in some confidence. Firstly how do we scored a try? Secondly how do we beat them? Is it possible for this team to beat them?

JT is only worth about $800k. Offer Cowboys to pay $800k and they cover the remaining $200k. Win win

I think he is doing a good job. The team is a little low on confidence and lacking depth. Our largest issue is we can't defend a set of 6 in front of our line. Once a few players are back I think they will start to come good and be more competitive.

We aren't going to score against Melbourne either until the duck is broken. I am suggesting if they making it near Melbourne's 20 metre line they attempt a field goal.

Peptides

I think Flanagan and Lewis will be a good combination because Lewis will reduce the pressure on Flanagan's game allowing him to hopefully play better. Lewis has lot more experience than Averilo and can defend well. It's up to him to now take his game to the next level because this is probably...

Are you serious right now. Averilo is no way or shape a 5/8 the moment. Needs to be easied into first grade.

Doorey was good as usual...Rennie was great.

I forgot to mention Chris Smith. Our Mounties team would put easily beat the first grade squad the way both teams are currently playing.

Mounties Reserve Grade Dean Britt Matt Doorey Jackson Topine James Roumanous Ava Seumanufagai Aaron Schoupp These guys would destroy our first grade forward pack. Much more talent, stronger, bigger bodies and hungrier. Matt Doorey should be an automatically selection. Hopefully Barrett wakes...

Panthers have one of the best Junior development programs which was developed by Gould. What would they want to release him? Obviously to be paid for developing him as they have mentioned several times. If Dogs had offered them a release fee, they would of more than likely let him go and had...

Napa and Flanno when he is off. Maybe letting Napa lead will improve his game.

Unbelievable that there are 2 teams worst than us. Cowboys and Manly will be 15 & 16.

Dog 13 - Rabbits 6

This is ridiculous. Almost every team in the NRL had had most of their team playing together for at least 2 seasons. Give Baz a fair go. He is trying to implement a new system that will help us perform better in the looking run. That's all going to take time. Let's face it we should of been...

No way. He played a defensive game and that allows you look competitive against any team but with no hope of winning. Baz is going ok. Needs time to work on the team as they probably train well but can't transfer it to the game yet. The team looks a little spend and it maybe a side eeffect of...

They let go of a few good ones. Mitchell RTS Pearce Fergo

They don't try hard.

The rebuild had officially started

The weather was a little warm. I think we will play much better when it's a little more cool.

Why the hell are they so tired? What did they do in the offseason?

Wow!

There are so many decent forwards out there. Why the hell anyone would want to go next for our next version of Tony Williams is beyond me. Even Fifita is a better prospect.

No thanks. His defence is below average. He is a one dimensional player who lost he mojo sometime ago. I would be targeting Bunty over Martin.

How can he show anything when our forwards completely for dominated.

What's everyone's opinion on Deitz. He played for a short period and was clearly out of his depth in round 1 especially in defence. However the same can be said about Marshall-King when he started. The season is already a right off and Katoa offers nothing. So is it best to persist with Deitz...

Hi All I think most people including myself are upset expecting more from this newish team. It seems we just haven't got the KMs in the legs or experience to compete with the other side's at the moment. Knight vs Dogs: We lost against arguably the best forward pack in the game. They have 4...

This place has gone into melt down. I reckon our team will improve with Thompson back. They have no leader at the moment. Napa is very low on confidence and seems disinterested. Barrett said he needs to keep it positive...I think some players need a kick up the bum... Using positivety...

Ever since I started watching Rugby League as a young lad I've always enjoyed the pre-season with the Bunnies and Dragons going head to head with charity shield. Why don't we have a charity shield for the dogs. Finally with the Burton saga playing out we have our own charity shield call the...

.

Corey Thompson was given the same treatment on here because he was small....yet he would walk into this side tomorrow. I reckon Meaney will come good this year as an elite winger. He is a late bloomer.

As the title suggests I reckon we have a chance against them at Bankwest if we get even possession. I didn't think we were that bad against the Knights just got tired from all the defence.

Sports Confidential: Has Josh Addo-Carr just dropped the biggest hint on his NRL future? Or is one of the biggest jokers in rugby league just teasing...

The admin clowns on here booted him! They thought he was trolling this whole time when he really was interested in the dogs and added value to the kennel.

There is so many things that you can do to improve your speed, fitness and power. Definately sprint training with heaps of rest in between sets is a must for overall speed and power. Compound weight lifts for general power would be great. For general fitness I would probably do some form of HIIT...

Wants to focus on defence and fitness. They also won't be going after a hooker this year.

These 3 are currently unwanted. Brad Takairangi Brent Naden James Roberts I wonder if TBaz would be interested in signing any. Anyone have any inside info?

How could you ban him. This place is boring with out him!

I'm pretty sure you're a fat white guy like Clive Palmer.

I don't know what the fuss about him was anyways. He scored a few set up tries in 1 game. Any winger playing with the Panthers spine will look good.

Yes we are.

Panthers will rest some players before finals which gives us a opportunity to be the first team to beat them in 16 rounds. We should beat them. It's a must win for us!

They have been doing that Tolman settler play for years now. They are obviously instructed to do that especially in the red zone. It's now extremely difficult to break that cycle. Barrett has identified this issue and the only fix was to get rid of Tolman!

Would like to see Lewis under Barrett. Last year the Cleary was dead average and this year he is amazing. I hope Barrett can improve Lewis because I don't think he has ever had decent coaching or a real opportunity to improve his game. Also all this dropping players weekly business has...

Tell that to white gentleman's club!

Lol. I like Nasheed he always makes me laugh at how easy he can wind you guys up. Still he does make valid points. I would think Averillo would need a decent passing game to play dummy half and I haven't seen how good he is with the ball. Maybe Hoppa can have a go there since he does have the...

I went tonight and have never been so impressed with a stadium and enjoy a game so much in years. NSW needs lots more stadiums like Bankwest which will get crowds back to the stadiums.

I disagree I think the strength and conditioning coach is more important than the coach.

I think most people on here have been complaining about strength and conditioning since 2014. Team lacks brut strength. Backs have no acceleration.

Brave dog was good

His biggest problem is the bench rotations. He brings Falulolo and Martin on with about 25mins to go. They turn the match and what does he do when they are going well. He pulls them both off and the momentum changes.

I don't know why you are upset? Dean Pay and his team are actually over-performing. This roster should be losing by 50 points every week. Instead they are managing to stay in the contest. Cogger is the best half we have had in along time. Meaney looks good. Marshal king doing well. Give this...

We were happy to break players contracts mid-season this year for players who wanted to remain at our club. So when Klemmer wants to go...we say no? Why are we saying no? Get rid of him...he actually wants to go. I don't get it... He is a good run of the ball but he is one dimensional player...

Could be worst. We could have Kaysa Pritchard. The hooker who played first grade based on his name alone.

Police are a disgrace. Reacting to media pressure to do something. Was a crime really committed? Was anyone hurt or offended? Go do some real work and stop this knee jerk reactions. Media should have no influence on the police or investigations.

I didn't see Broncos getting a big fine when Matt Lodge bashed a few people in a house invasion. Massive double standards.

Probably a fake blonde with contact lenses who spends an hour a day shaving the long legs.

Give them more time to develop. Lewis will get better with more game time.

Really?
