Isn't that just the nature of being a coach at any level though? When the team is performing badly, the coach is generally the first to be blamed, it's not just Pay and it's not just by our fans... It's much easier to replace a coach than it is half your roster.
I agree but I think our fans and dragons fans are more over the top blaming the coach and admin constantly then acting like nothing happened when they do something good
Yeah his style is way too conservative and predictable for my liking. He should have learned by now after two seasons of the same thing happening that we play our best when we play off the cuff and throw it around.
Just disregard the logistical and financial complications. Purchase a one way ticket for each of them and be done with it
Tolman was one of our best last year. Another good year this year and a short contract extension isn’t out of the equation.
Let’s hope so

About as shabby as it's always looked @Teddybear.
Congratulations to the DNB (Did Negate Bleaters) on a quality signing - the first of more to come.
BULLDOGS ON THEIR WAY BACK!
I don't think our fans are that bad in a general sense and context is required. I certainly think most other fanbases aren't as loyal or passionate as ours. I think the last five years have taken a toll on most and led to a lot of frustration. With so much uncertainty, turmoil and politics around the club during that time, i think it's natural for some of the fanbase to become unsettled.
Nice signing Spoonman. This was probably the only rumour that had merit. All the rest are just gossip. His signing as you say will do heaps for Napa as his not a leader. patience is the key here and we all need to remember the mess that we were in some years ago. This is a good signing and it’s good the dogs are not signing players with problems like some other clubs
Good on you Teddy for wearing the egg.
And hopefully Ogden too. I don't think he gets enough credit for his performances last season which were impressive for a young prop on a team which was struggling badly at the time for any go forward.
Don't be silly. There's no such thing as certainty in any world, let alone in league. He needs to perform just like any rookie player coming into his first season. He's got a lot to prove and one big signing doesn't change that.
Yeah hopefully Ogden can get there too. He has to improve in defence he can make good hits but he can gets really badly caught out with lateral movement and effort plays.
Man I like Ogden. He’s a big fella. Fits well into the pack, needs better conditioning that’s all
