Official Round 4 - Bulldogs vs Dragons - Discussion Thread

[oldpuppy]

alot of you guys are short-sighted

wait until we play the roosters next week
there's your cricket score

Lol. Second innings next week?

 

[DinkumDog]

Too late scoob, most of us have already bought dragons jerseys

Hope it fits snugly Chimpy.
The only problem: you’re now supporting a struggling team and coach. Whoops .

 

[The DoggFather]

Could we ask the same of Foran then?
He’s drained the coffers and provided what value in return? Simple fact is no-one is going to jump.

As if Foran cares about the Dogs. Also he shouldn't of been signed in the first place, but that's another thread.

Correct. No-one is denying the size and scope of the mess - my point is that band-aids like sacking Pay right now aren’t going to change much.

Would really love to know what the boys think. Do they accept that their lack of skill is the problem or do they solely blame pay?

BUT

What if pay is a main reason to stop us getting top players for next year? That's what I'm worried about.

Good question. Likely a combo. Don’t think the blame can be placed exclusively anywhere.

Umm, have you seen us play?
And who our coach is?
Didn't give that much thought did you mate

Er, yes I did. You’ve taken the band-aid approach by jumping ship from a struggling team/coach right into the arms of another. Now I know you haven’t really, but that was the gag. At least give me a begrudging smirk in return mate .

If you actually think I would ever support another team, I gave you way too much credit. Noticed your little thread got shut down, what a shame

Chimpy, have a laugh mate. I know you’re a frustrated Dogs man like the rest of us. Just having a dig. All good

I enjoy beating the Dragons.. some recent ones were good like knocking them out in the 2015 extra time semi.. or knocking them out of the semis in the final round of 2017 ..

 

[Horse]

Oh, it comments. I was just expecting a x from you, ratbitch.

If he really cared about the club like you dumb fucks think, he should stand down.

Abusive? You are a rat bitch. You are what you are.

Why can’t you debate without having the need to direct abuse and racial slurs at members?

 

[Natboy]

Abusive? You are a rat bitch. You are what you are.

Settle yourself down and please stop with the racial abuse

Wasnt James Graham supposed to retire at the end of last season?

No but he should have.

I have a similar view Assassin.

I honestly believe that Pay has the potential to be a good coach with the right cattle but I'm starting to fear that we won't land the rockstar half/hooker/fullback we need with him at the helm. I really hope he can turn things around but it's looking less and less likely the deeper into the season we go.

Playing with a structure would help the guys learning to play in the NRL. More game time to those as well as playing in positions that would help the player and the team.
The coach doesn’t have the ability to make the players play with some ticker but he’s responsible for a lot of other things and clearly pay lacks in what’s required to turn this mess around. As I’ve stated their has to be another coach underneath Pay who understands some football. Make them caretaker for 2020 and that way the players are playing for their future as well.
