FINALS WEEK 1 - Dogs vs Panthers - NRL Discussion Thread & Team Lists

[Tegga]

What hurts most is the complete bagging we're copping from the commentators especially that set where lichaa copped a spray from mbye

Channel 9 have been riding the Panthers' dicks all game

Sad that Williams showed why we should sign him on 1 occasion and why we shouldn't on 10.

How can someone break the line like he did then disappear for the next 10 mins.

I was proud of kas tonight. He did his best. Happy for perrett getting a try at the end.

In all honesty I knew we never had a chance after kas started. Not sure what Hasler thought but you can't start kas he is an impact player.

If kas, klemmer and Williams came on after 20-25 mins it would have been a different game (we still lose but I think we would have scored more from having 2 proper stints from kas).

Why do you think about brenko?

Brenko is young and a great prospect.
Perrett has had 100 years to fix his game. I do love his efforts bringing the ball back while our forwards are bludging for 3-4 tackles. He's the nicest guy in the world but this isn't a popularity contest.
If it was he might've won a comp

For all the people losing their shit just look at the brightside, all the weaknesses in the team are basically leaving. Backline has been letting us down but perrett's gone, browne is gone, t-Rex. Phillips actually looks solid in first grade on the wing. This was our worst season in recent years but until 5 minutes into the second half we were on track to win before Morris went down. Shit on des all you want but I'll wait to see what happens next year and how we come back before I condemn him

Sorry to be a pessimist but 2014 - smashed in the grand final, 2015 - smashed in the semis by the Roosters and this year thrashed in an elimination final. I think Des deserves some condemnation.

Another shameful display.

Are you normal? Trex and lichaa and that other faggot hoppa are all his signings.
What are you waiting to see next year exactly? Ever since des has been here we are like the worst attacking team inside the 20. The players are unfit, slow, and play like this is there 1st game of footy.

Just for fun, if you combined the points we scored across the 3 games you mentioned, probably still not enough to win one of those games we lost.
We are an impotent big slow moving side, which everyone else figured out years ago.
Why we don't adapt has me totally fucked!

It doesn't hurt at all because what the commentators were saying during that call most fans worked it out a long time ago.

Wont change much, we got rid of Inu, ennis, Hodko, Lafai, Kris Keating, Mitch Brown, Drury Low, Corey Thompson.

Until we start playing a different style of football it wont matter who's in our side.

Ask the "mad scientist/finals specialist" why that hasn't happened. But tbh you're more likely to get heavy nasal breathing before you get a legitimate answer.

You can think what you want and I can think what I want

 

[Chicharito]

Spending 1 million a season on a bloke that does fuck all is beyond me. Clean the whole fucking club out because the way it stands at the moment all involved are embarrassing the badge.

 

[Chris Harding]

Well; what can I say? You cannot win a final by defending a six point lead for 70 minutes. The Mbye spray said it all - he had a move lined up, and Lichaa hands it to a pondering forward to take two steps and go to ground. Sums us up totally.

2017 is looking to shape up the same complete lack of initiative, unfit forwards; and Des coaching us to another year of disappointment.

 

[Chicharito]

I'm honestly surprised anyone thought the result was gonna be any different.

 

[Chicharito]

Our club is a joke, wasting all this money on a million gym, sports science and a coach lmao...

Fuck this and Des



So useless these fat lazy pricks, no pride when a nice paycheck is on its way

This is exactly what happens when you get away from the culture that brought success for a long time.

 

[rainman]

Sterlo said that our style hasn't changed in 3 years, it gets us to the finals but will never win a premiership
Something drastic must change

 

[Brizdog]

Commentators taking the piss out of us now. Kevin Walters cracking jokes saying look out for the ambush. We are officially the joke of the nrl

 

[EXPLORER]

I'm honestly surprised anyone thought the result was gonna be any different.

Lol
I knew since we lost to parra 2 times early in the year then lost to Canberra at belmore

Then when we lost to cows at belmore with a top 4 on the line, that was when it was clear we had nothing more to offer this competition

Until we start playing a different style of football it wont matter who's in our side.

We made it to the grand final with all of those players, we were competitive in both of those grand finals, until about 60 minutes in against the Rabbitohs.

If you wanna talk about a fan base that should be disappointed in their over all performance, try the Warriors, the roosters, Rabbitohs, even Broncos should have lost the other night if not for the refs. How many people are gonna call for Wayne bennett's head if they don't win a comp in the next year or two? Look at all the teams with superstars that everyone on here wishwe'd sign and how well they've performed.

Our team needs a star that can focus our attack, I feel that des made a mistake in thinking that was mbye but I am willing to give it next year before I panic or call for him to be sacked. Look how much changed between 2011 and 2012. A lot can happen in an offseason
