We shouldn’t feel sorry for ourselves. .
Especially those who lived and supported the club through the glory years.
It's the kids who support the club now those 8 to 14 year olds whos passion is rugby league and Canterbury.
That's who the club should be most concerned about.
When I was a kid I loved all the Canterbury players. Never would I be think "drop him he is hopeless" but then again back then two losses in a row was rare.
All we can do is stick with it boys, hope the club comes out the other end stronger and wiser.

Come and support the mighty eels like many other dogs fans who make the switch.
Apparently last year there was 109 defectors from the dogs fan base to the eels last year, by all reports they are much happier now.
No thanks, we have been shit for a couple of years, you guys have been shit for 30+ years.

i turned the tele off at half time and went to bed, thats how bad they are playing . to be honest i wouldnt care if we were losing but at least improving in attack but we play the same shit ball as soon as they panic or get behind its back to boring predictable footy this years gone for my liking but with the people off contract this year hopfully they move some players on and get some new faces

You have two options:

1) Die

2) Stop watching rugby league

Im leaning toward the 2nd option. I still enjoy watching Tigers and Warriors play. Heck, I even cheered on the Knights the other day. But as long as I'm watching NRL then I'm watching the Dogs. And that heart sinking feeling I get every game is just making me want to stop watching NRL altogether..

My suggestion is to pick one thing. One thng only and look for improvement. My one thing is moving up in defence and holding the opposition at the advantage line. Defend that advantage line as if it were a horde about to invade your home. Just that one thing. No standing still or worse -moving backwards in defence. I wont care if an opponent breaks through. But I won't cop players moving backwards before the ball carrier has even arrived.

Start rebuilding pay let young blood have a crack our forwards are slow useless and backs aren't much better we have 000000
Attack defense is little better gonna take years to rebuild ok.

Don't give up on them.. Please !! Ive been following the Dogs since the late 50s ( I'm 65) Played with Peponis for a season as youngsters. This is a frustrating season but I live in hope. What else do we have? The roster is not a good one. The halves are : Foran--slow and predictable, JMK --green and overwhelmed by first grade. Lichaa --nuff said by other angry supporters . The crucial mistakes that let in tries were when they were caught short-- 3 against 5--. no communication there !! They didn't smother the ball enough and let the Panthers forwards offload. As a footnote-- Maloney said when interviewed by Freddy "that we'll slow the play the balls down". I know you can't hang someone on intent, but surely this is cheating? A direct tactic which is against there rules of the league. Please discuss?

Rebuilding involves building materials and a builder. Oh and Money.

For those of us who watched the Berries get thumped week in week out in the early to mid 60s, we at least had les Johns to marvel at. Then came the revolution in the late 60s. It's time again to build the culture, when the Berries morphed into the Bulldogs.

That's what happens when you offer pet membership. I'm sure they are all fighting over the bones of a crap team at Parra.

I remember those days, when we had forwards like Merv Hicks and goal kickers like George Taylforth. Les Johns was a standout fullback - intelligent and quick. One of a kind.

Notice how many times we are caught holding down and you'd have to call us cheats as well. Anything you get away with is legal.

Why stop this year? If you had the brains you would stopped supporting the club properly like I did in 2013 when we had Josh Reynolds as our option.
