From the BIG MAN !!!

Sign a marquee middle, the best of the best, or we're fucked. 4-5 years for our kids to come through under Gus so go hard in recruitment with difference makers now (next 2 years). I personally don't think there were any good things worth talking about from our game this week. I think the less said on that the better.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

5 to 10 years to have juniors coming through consistently aka not having to pay overs in the market to recruit.

"It's up to the coach and players to get results today"

Makes you wonder what the hell the front office were doing during the Hasler years. Hasler did his part of getting results but they completely neglected development programs and set us back a decade.

 

[Nexus]

Well I’m glad he was please about things he saw at the game, because he was the only one.

All he gives a wishy washy answers. Guess you can’t miss a target if you don’t define one.

 

[Roger the alien]

Pretty much says the same thing every week, reason why the opposition won is because of their forwards and halves.

 

[NPC83]

Doesn’t seem to give much away about any areas he’s targeting immediately. You’d have to think there are some middles on his radar.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Ciraldo has shown he can coach, the fact he identified Okunbor as a forward while no one else did. (Pay, Barrett & Potter)

Ciraldo has taken on arguably one of the hardest coaching jobs in the NRL. Fan expectations are high and it's a job that has consistently killed coaching careers.

Greenberg killed off our junior programs to save money. The thought was "Why develop your own talent when it might get poached". Other teams took over our blueprint as we dropped it and are now way in front of us using it. Outside of having great juniors we had a great eye for talent begging to get their chance.

 

[Rod67]

How the game has changed. "Home parenting program". 25 plus years ago that was Peter Moore.

 

[John Matrix]

It’s up to coach and players etc, wiped away any involvement from that and I don’t blame him.

Until the benefits of what he’s doing comes into play the coach and recruitment need to make the right choices. Sign some one on overs but make sure they are worth it and not the crap we have been stuck with for the last 10 years.

If they want success now sign people who are the goods not those who were or aren’t.

Our development has never been so lean. The older I get the more I've began to realise the work behind the scenes that gets taken for granted. For as good a coach Bellamy is there are multiple people behind the Storm that are doing the scouting development, etc.

I've gone back and looked at the 2012 roster Hasler inherited if I'm not mistaken the players in the Bulldogs system were: Tapau, Finucane, Jackson, Romelo, Lafai, Kasiano, Browne, Barba, Reynolds

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Barrett was responsible for some huge recruitment blunders, Flanagan being the worst and the fact that old man Reynolds is back outplaying him is shocking. The fact he wanted Dufty over Meaney just LOL

 

[Glenn L]

There it is. 10 years FFS! I know one thing, if the side isn't entrenched in the 8 by next year he won't be around long term. No way the Laundy's are going to wait 10 years for success.

Apparently Daniel Saifiti has become available. But would still need 1, if not 2, quality middles.

 

[Moedogg]

How the fuck did the Roosters win it in 2013?

 

[bradyk]

D. Saifiti has been TPJ level of bad for the past 2 years. We need a middle like Haas, Koloamatangi, Fotuaika, etc. none available until 2025 but we have to get one.

The first two years were Hasler had a great team and then destroyed it, and people say he got us in the finals lol.

"Fan expectations are high" .... the only Dog's fans that have high expectations are the ones that have just come out of the coma they have been in for the last 7+ years, and even then they are probably looking the their Drs and thinking send me back to the coma please.

Hasler had control of the entire football dept m, it was a condition for him to leave manly. Its on him but also on Dib and castle. Would have probably been wort it if we had won one of the 2

Gus said we are running one of the biggest programs in NRL, how the hell did they leave it all on one man?

We just had absolutely putrid people in the front office, Khoury to his credit realised football dept was beyond his skills and got Gus.
