Tony Ayoub is the high performance manager and his resume is second to none however from what I understand he's quite old school and pushes the players quite hard as opposed to managing workloads, maybe we need to change that approach

Something as simple as fitness and improving our defensive systems could go a long way to improving a lot of areas tbh. Broncos got numbers in the tackle all game and pushed off their line, we didn't, as a result we were constantly on the back foot and could win back momentum.
Spot on

I don't think the team lacks motivation or enthusiasm. They tried hard. But they lack ability. Mostly coz of inexperience. We need to get some experienced players in to balance the side

Size, power, fitness, speed and wrestling

Whoever our strength & conditioning coach is, requires 10 black dildos up there bum

Dont know if Holbrook is coming over, but if he is, i hope he brings the required staff around him.

Our fitness, power, wrestling and speed is non-existent. Holbrook has been at the Roosters previously, so he should have a fair idea with the experience he has had their with the training regime's.

He also needs to bring over 2 big powerful forwards from the UK. Luke Thompson is a must and the second one i do not have a fucken clue.

Our forwards barring Jackson are soft. Napa has been extremely dissapointing

Christian Welch is off contract and is a must.

Pay is out of his league. He does have a squad with minimal talent, but one thing you must do to counteract your weaknesses when you have minimal talent in your squad, is to be fitter and stronger than your opponents and they are not even close. That goes along with his strength and conditioning team and that dud wrestler he brought over from Canberra.

This club built its foundations around big, powerful forwards, which oppositions feared. I'm shocked how shit our forward pack is considering they are coached by a former powerful nonsense forward.
We didn't move with the game......when big forwards were required with leg speed and foot work we release Ese'se, Tapau and Finucane, cook (our young guns) and kept plodders like Tolman, Eastwood, lichaa and company.

An Bulldogs spirit !!

Worst I’ve seen my team in a VERY long time.
I wrote the same thing a year ago,and if anything this year is worse,and I haven't seen any improvement in any of our players,what's worse is keeps playing Elliot fualalo etc who have been tried failed on numerous occasions
