R4 - Bulldogs vs Rabbitohs - Team List & Discussion Thread

[jof]

Foran really needed to step up as the senior playmaker and ensure we took a field goal when we had them on their line with 8 to go. But he didn't. He really seems to have no confidence anymore.

Best attacking weapon gone after 5 minutes..that’s a big loss early..

 

[Doggiezbrah]

Francis is lucky tolman got injured otherwise I doubt he’d be seeing first grade next week. Maybe burr and Renouf can take the openings

It’s probably going to be Eastwood. We need to bin Elliot

 

[Freakzilla]

It doesn't matter

Yes it does. I have never once in my life seen a penalty when a defensive player does it.

This year is going to be very long, we still only a 40 min team and once again. Can’t seem to score points an close a game out with ease. All our games are either close or thrashing’s so far. It’s a bit worrying but end of day still our team and we have to bide our time an wait for things to click and to be a full 80min team.
Still proud of the effort but a lot to fix!

How to lose a game in 7 minutes. Choked like Canberra did last week.

Not holding back on criticism as all signs are pointing towards a tough season.

Look at next 3 games, we are in HUGE TROUBLE.

Canberra away - Cowboys away - Roosters home

It is dumb management. Why have a utility but not use him as a utility? Why play Fualalo on an edge and not Elliott who has plenty of experience playing on an edge? Why throw an inexperienced player on in the final minutes of a tight game? It's dumb management.

Why throw an inexperienced player. Maybe because there was no one else and everybody was gassed.

Exactly right

 

[Bluebody]

Souths ended up with 7 penalties (from 14) on the 4th tackle, and 2 penalties (from 14) on the 5th. .

geez - they are intensely punishing penalties. How did you get this info so quick because it would be good to compare our penalties.

Nah mate, Francis and Danny were just average.....

They're first grade footballers, guys off their feet, you have to flex as a player.

Francis flopped badly, I think you now understand why Pay didn't play him earlier.....he's obviously not fit enough for a bench role yet, especially if he has to play extended minutes.

 

[Trafford10]

Renouf has to get a run next week

What makes you think he will be better than the other dropsy brothers?

Yea I’m not to convinced with foz at the moment, he tough an takes it right to the line etc, but no confidence.

Ah, good Friday. Where the tradition is we get bent over using more lubricant than James Graham used to wear & the Bunnies get a gift of 2 points.

No doubt they were average, but i'm happy to forgive a rookie for some dumb errors and a player being played put of position.

Injuries made it hard, but Pay still messed up imo. I can't find any logic in the decision to play Fualalo on an edge over Elliott, can you?

 

[chisdog]

Yes it does. I have never once in my life seen a penalty when a defensive player does it.

I have

 

[top-dog]

Our bench has no impact if it had then we would've destroyed them in the second half .

 

[finchie]

Tualau
Elliot out ASAP plz

Tuamaga and Ogden or Tuamaga and burr in asap

There was no one else because Pay didn't make the best use of the bench. I'm not saying it is easy because it's hard having players injured and a million other things going on, but Pay still messed up there.
