Official Team List Round 23 v Eels + Match Discussion

[CQDog]

There’s so many disjointed things with this team right now and losses like these should be expected. We have zero attacking structures like no halves linking or fullbacks, no inside passes or early kicks, no sideway switches, who runs decoys, putting backrowers into holes when and where etc. Its just all eyes up footy and essentially do whatever you want to score points. Some players do need to be held accountable tho like TPJ, Flanagan and Burton who all need to step the fuck up with their ‘skills’. Potter seems all but completely far away from what people thought of him (including me) bench selections and rotations are awful, selections are questionable aswell. Ofc alot of these results can all be blamed on Trent Barret and his duds for all their sackings and what we were taught. Just super glad we have avoided the spoon, don’t see tigers winning tonight and if they win the next two, our +- is way better than their’s, along with teams below us. Its tough for us fans and i’m sick of being bums but its just what has happened this year that has again proved disappointment.

 

[Dogs Rule]

Today was shite. But watching this sharks game, will have 60 on us... If we play how we did today.

 

[LFC Bulldogs]

Just when I thought we had turned the corner and there were blue skies ahead , the last 2 games have brought us back to reality.
Some players in key positions really need to be punted If we are going to be more competitive next year. They simply are not good enough .

 

[Malla]

Surely next week Alamoti, Skelton and Toia get a crack?

As much as we hope, its never happening. Wouldnt surprise me if only injuries and suspensions cause for new players to be selected. Would rather compete for the NSW cup premiership and retain them for next year when the CC era starts.

Yeah - big reality check.

Our exciting attacking football against Tigers and Parrascum seems like a distant memory.

We have reverted to the tried and trusted 1 out Desball.

I couldn't bear to watch the whole game today - when the score started to blow out, I just turned it off. Why suffer that sh!t.

If the Dogs were a car you wouldn't want to touch it.

Not even good for spare parts..Ass

It’s annoying fuck wits like Burns, Averillo, ZDC and Stimson keep getting picked and young blokes with three times the skill are in reserves tho but I agree

 

[Grunthos]

Don't worry guys, the results will be different next year.

 

[CQDog]

This game also proved drastically that RFM isn’t an edge backrower and should be playing in the middle off the bench next year with Jackson and Kikau on the edges.

 

[The DoggFather]

Don't worry guys, the results will be different next year.

If all CC can do next year is improve our defence then it's a successful 1st year for him.

 

[Howie B]

Don't worry guys, the results will be different next year.

Lol. Gold mate

Different might be worse

 

[piggy]

Plenty of teams have had shocking losses like this one and like last week. Like this year. Last year and the past 6 years.

It is what it is.

We're down and out now but things will improve.

It's impossible to imagine it can get much worse.

We have some good plans and people in place to drag ourselves up...(just keep telling ourselves that lol)

Rugby League has become touch football....if you can’t control the ruck speed u are fuked......very hard to change the momentum when teams get a roll on....if u can’t keep up you coo a belting on the scoreboard...don’t like how the administrators have tampered with the game to the point that it’s all about speed

Momentum and ref 6 agains can totally take a game away fron you. Def we weren't in the hunt but if refs only ref one side, don't give penalties to us that are warranted, it can gas a team and it must be like beating your head up against a wall.

BTW what was the decision on the Fox non-try. The Parra player had no control over that so called grounding. Clear as day. Those decisions make a difference.

We all look forward to the day we are so good. So perfect that we will be able to overcome the inept and incompetent refereeing.

The one good thing about getting belted is the coach is more likely to make these changes

It's not the Bulldog way.

We don't do many change ups.

We persevere hoping for a miracle.... or accept failure and mediocrity.

In Gus we trust!

Dare I say it but we can't get worse my bro

Na, same duds will be named and played with the same 40 point loss.

 

[My Shawarma]

Parra were in total control, had all the answers in both attack & defense.
