COACH Des Hasler

 

[yearofthedog]

Lol

 

[CaptainJackson]

He's so bloody predictable

You're SHIT HASLER!!!!

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Brad Arthur is quaking in his boots

Finally Eastwood is out give the younger guys a shot, they will have more impact on the game.

 

[LordSidious66]

Man I feel like Gordon Ramsay swearing his head off reading this line up and watching our games.

 

[Dawgfather]

LOL Kasiano starting prop.

The fat heap will last 5 minutes before his hands are on his hips, he is walking back to the play the ball after kicks and his lateral movement is non existent in the defensive line.

 

[Dogna88]

Fuk Hasler. Perfect opportunity for change.

Should be:
8. Tolman
9. Lichaa
10. Klemmer
11. RFM
12. Elliot
13. Jackson

14. Kasiano
15. Fualalo
16. Tulao
17. Fine

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Parra are going to be rushing us all game...better start with the slowest middle 3rd ever. That logic/10

 

[M4cca]

at least tualau is getting another run

 

[TalDog]

Lol klemmer at lock

 

[finchie]

Hope we get slaughtered

 

[fiordog]

LOL fucking called it. Or at least, 2 from 3 (Klemmer at lock, Kas to prop - genuinely surprised he didn't keep Eastwood on bench).

Watch the gaps open up in the middle 15min+ - calling it now that Gutherson to be first try scorer.

 

[Dawgfather]

I'd genuinely enjoy seeing a loss by 40 in the hope that it leads to another build up of pressure (for about the 1000th time) on Hasler to be sacked.

Even with his 2 year contract extension, surely there has to still be enormous pressure to cut the guy loose for just being a fkn shithouse coach and identifier of talent.

Eatwood is injured, Kasiano is a liability at the moment.

What can we do though? Coach will not drop anyone.

There's no "Hope"

It's "when" we get slaughtered

I am afraid that we will be stuck with him for another two years. Dib will never admit that a mistake has been made and he truly believes that Foran will be our saviour, after all he signed him!

We can protest and complain and point the finger all we like but nothing will change. About the only real positive is that so many others outside of the club and not the fans are exposing them for the frauds that they are. Anyone in the club who speaks up is banished to Coventry or asked to resign.

 

[finchie]

Pity frank the tank wasn't playing to come back and haunt us as all other ex players do

Imagine a pack with frank, tapau finucane Jacko klemmer

What could've been aye

 

[dogluva]

Know what? A loss does not even hurt anymore because it is pretty much expected. The wins we have had this year have been an anomaly. We have not applied consistent and lasting pressure all year and truly just who have we beaten? Warriors, Knights, Raiders, Dragons, Broncos and Rabbits... not exactly a glowing report card ( okay probably bar the Broncos who are running third), plus we have copped two almighty floggings in which we did not score a solitary point. Worst attacking record as well.

 

[fiordog]

Eatwood is injured, Kasiano is a liability at the moment.

ahhh didn't realise Beast was injured. That bench for this week I have no issues with and if Kasiano could do a solid 20 minute stint bending the line, getting a line break or two, popping the occasional offload and not dropping off tackles, I wouldn't necessarily resort to dark humour (although that doesn't include the whole 'why the fuk isn't Frawley 7, Mbye somewhere else' argument - I just can't be bothered raising that ad nauseum)

But evidence has shown big Kas can't sustain impact for that long. So if French doesn't get us in the corner in the first 5-10 minutes, then I reckon Gutherson/Norman will when he shirt/arm grabs and falls off a tackle. It's really frustrating because I don't enjoy ripping into our team, but its just so predictable that that's going to happen

 

[B-Train]

Man I can't watch those guys play for other clubs. It drives me crazy. Especially taupau. He was always well worth keeping and look what he's become now? He's ten times more destructive than any forward we have yet Hasler let's him go when he would have cost nothing to keep.

Hasler's list of mistakes and flaws at Canterbury couldn't be longer yet they protect him like he's the chosen one. Who gives a fuck about paying two years of his contract? It's been done countless times with other teams in other codes where they just eat that loss and pay them out but we have to put up with this for two more years? Fuck that. We've all had enough.
