Official ROUND 1 | Bulldogs vs Eels | Discussion thread 5:30pm @ CommBank Stadium

[Glenn L]

Only your opinion not mine

Mine too and I'd also say we don't have a 1, 6 or ANY decent middles.

 

[SexBomb]

Watch parra get smacked next week, whoever they play

Panthers.

 

[CaptainJackson]

Yeah I reckon he will.

Hes made excuse after excuse in not picking skelton, even after he had a great game against Penrith, CC made excuse after excuse not to pick him.

I'm taking skelton over Wilson and kiraz every single day.

CC doesn't rate him.

 

[Suave]

I still don’t really understand what Salmon offers this team. I’m puzzled how he’s managed to secure a starting spot.

 

[Kung fu man]

After round 1 no coach in the competition will swing the axe on selections. Forced change likely for JAC so either Tracey or Xerri to centre and Kiraz to wing. He’ll possibly switch Curran and Salmon but Curran ended up playing 67 minutes anyway so not much of a switch in reality.

Positives for me:
- Kikau and Crichton can carve up the left attack especially when JAC is fit. Surely Ciraldo drills Burton and Hutchison on this during the week.
- Curran awesome, reminds me of David Stagg.
- Mann was good, 35 tackles and 96m run in 55 minutes.

"Surely Ciraldo drills Burton and Hutchison on this during the week" you think so doubt he says anything

 

[LordSidious66]

Drop Hutchinson, Wilson, and Taafe. Send Burton to the Rams so he can help us win a superbowl.

 

[maroondog72]

Taffee hutcshitson and wilson.. shocking selections

So you would have played sexton at HB?

 

[AlzzBulldog]

I can't blame Ciraldo for the selections. If everyone was fit and available I don't think he picks that back 5.

What about shitson?

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Are you serious the guy plays "scared" lol
Also Taaffe rubbish(Tracey comes in)and as JAC is out maybe your bff gets a reprieve..but personally I'd bring in Skelton as he makes shit happen even though a bit rough round the edges.

Plays scared? Lmao. I'm sorry but none of you have a clue, I shouldn't expect anything more from here I guess.

What makes you say that?

All due respect you're giving too much credit to someone who proves every week he doesn't deserve any.

 

[AlzzBulldog]

So you would have played sexton at HB?

Yep, traditional halfback and isnt slower than a snail

 

[pijk]

this is a joke same as every other year, the rot started when we couldn't offer James Graham a contract, now we have had coach after coach after coach, can we get a fucking halfback for crying out loud, and piss Burton off to the centres, absolute joke to watch the Bulldogs now, nothing like any dogs team ever, oh and we need a dam coach Ceraldo is shite, thanks to all you guys that got rid of Dean Pay for dickhead failure Trent Barrett good one guys, I mightn't have liked him either but we were getting more points and were more consistent, but wait hang on were consistently running on the bottom now after Barrett and Ceraldo, very upsetting to be a doggies fan atm

 

[shannon2009]

Coach put a fresh one on with 4 mins to go so that’s probably why

 

[XR6T]

We are so one dimensional that it's not funny. Even Brandy was saying we need to spread the ball but all we do is one up, one up. Most boring football and we are experts at it.

 

[NPC83]

Penrith in Penrith will be good game

Penrith 13+ we had limited good ball and still scored 2 tries and probably should have scored again toward the end.

 

[The DoggFather]

Hes made excuse after excuse in not picking skelton, even after he had a great game against Penrith, CC made excuse after excuse not to pick him.

CC doesn't rate him.

He had 200m against both grand finalists

 

[Brendan7]

Only your opinion not mine

there is a good reason he was in reserve grade at the at 2 clubs. Hes okay but not when the other half is a centre

 

[bradyk]

Coach out of his depth can't even get team selections right.

 

[craigo]

Can't blame Burton.. we had no fucken ball. You guys are just haters, and find anything to shit on him

What has he done for the bulldogs since coming? All I can think of is 1 field goal in golden point last year. Nothing else.

 

[Cook]

Plays scared? Lmao. I'm sorry but none of you have a clue, I shouldn't expect anything more from here I guess.

It’s frustrating, yet we come back for some reason to read
