Round 8 - Bulldogs vs Panthers - Team List and Game Discussion Thread.

[magdog]

Apparently we worked on our skill levels in the off season...what particular skill(s) have we improved?

Regardless, Deano reckons he’s seen improvement....let’s see if we get to see what he sees...si si signore!

 

[Minion]

Yes there is...Cameron Smith
He also cons the refs LOL

Cameron Smith is the chief of the referees!

Well lets be honest.. if we score a single field goal in the Panthers game Dean can claim "we've worked on attack and are improving".

 

[Wolfmother]

If the rabbitohs could beat the roosters then we should've been able to beat them as well considering we should've won that Good Friday game. We've def gone backwards, some people are just not putting the effort in..

We need to start sacking players as well as coaches, I reckon the players have already decided this is the building year

Obviously points for and against right? As you know under 6's don't convert so we have 20 tries for and 11 against.

Yeah that's right no conversation in 6's but I thought they play 4 points as a try still? Im probably wrong though it's different in the 8's. How cute are these little 5 year Olds running around aye, I watched one last week and this little one kept running all the way out and all the way to his mum on the sidelines and he still wouldn't surrender the ball lol it's great to watch

I think i love coaching them as much as they enjoy playing.

I love how my boy fends and offloads already, it's amazing how some kids are just naturals at them game. I'm blessed to have my son and another kid who is a natural beast.

PS we aren't supposed to keep score but every coach does lol so our for would be 80 and against 44

Couldn't agree more, I'm in a similar situation with my boy, natural runner of the ball and coming second for trys scored this year in the whole comp with 8 trys in 3 games. 6's are cute because can coach can stay on with them on the field but as they get a little older it's a different type of exciting to watch. You will be surprised how good a organised under 8's team looks especially when they gang tackle it's great to watch lol I'm with you I love coaching. You in the Canterbury comp?

How is that comp overall? Canterbury are a extremely strict comp when it comes to ground officials and refs enforcing rules. I'm with st George dragons but we in the Canterbury comp, go figure I don't understand that one lol

I have to be honest and say it is well run. Under 6's get a "fair chance" IE it's play on if the knock on or forward pass, once per set. The 2 coaches actually ref on the field.

Plus they have time keepers and one official spectating.

PS and they play the ball correctly, better than some Dogs players lol

Hey Bulldogz82 I remeber playing St George Dragons back in the 60s they had rooster gerseys if i remember rightly i actually played for St Johns and Brothers when Lakemba was still in A.ustralia

 

[Mr Invisible]

Match Officials
Grant Atkins Referee (last win June 2016). Last 5 games (recent to oldest) = L L L L W(June 2016)
Alan Shortall Referee (last win Apr 2017). Last 5 games (recent to oldest) = L L L W(Apr 2017) W
Ashley Klein Senior Review Official (last win Sep 2017). Last 5 games (recent to oldest) = W(Sep 2017) L L W W

Not a good sign when last 3 games under both lead refs we have lost.

[finchie]

Gonna be a long long 80 mins
Zero skill in this team and I mean zero
Dragons took 60 secs to score vs rooters last night with some heads up eyes open footy.
We could still be at anz from last week and still wouldn’t score.

 

[MR SS]

Will win the next 3 games. I'm confident will win tomorrow. We are all in for a shock with the way we will play.
