Nasheed here,
Getting really sick to death of every man and his camel here having half naked opinions. So I thought I'd suck up my shyness and crates a thread about getting the Bulldogs on track and how to do it.
I was speaking to Gene who is a Roosters supporter and he asked me what I think Makes Robinson a master coach. I answered 'balance'. It's something that he shares with both Bellamy and Stuart (Stuart learnt from his mid 2010s days) and its what the dogs don't have and it makes me cringe when I hear ppl thirsty for random wingers and such for us.
So I'm going to provide a blueprint. I have to declare Holland exempt because of all the controversy surrounding him so I'll leave him out for now.
Firstly, we have our pillars of the team:
Jackson- a robust toiler (lets call them group A) who fights hard. Makes tackles and generally puts his body out there. Every team needs this type. We have it. But it isn't some gold rare diamond. But it's good no less.
Foran- a premium well rounded number 7. Lets just leave injuries aside right now.
Thompson- untested, but a super athlete taht can go 80 mins and do some zip here and there.
So we now have a skeleton Ideal blue print of this;
1. Attacking and supportive fullback
2. Tall winger
3. Strike/big centre
4. Defensive oriented centre
5. Big Hit ups winger
6. Attacking 5/8
7. Foran (organisational/attacking)
8. Big black prop
9. Fast energetic hooker.
10. Thompson
11. Attacking second row
12. Jackson
13. *TBA* on strategy.
lets compare it to the balance we have now
1. Fast one dimensional ex winger
2. Fast small winger
3. Skillful Ball playing centre
4. Ex winger one dimensional centre
5. Safe winger
6. Defensive 5/8
7. Foran
8. Toil group A prop
9. Fast once dimensional hooker
10. Defensive prop
11. Jackson toiler
12. Vacant
13. Toiler
Now we can see from the above that Hoppa And a few others aren't right for the team. The balance is all wrong.
we can use DWZ as a winger, as we can Reimis Smith.
we need some size to counter the smaller forwards we have and have punch. Same in the centres.
JMK I think might work with the new 6 again rule.
I also think we should enquire about Milford. He's on a lot of money and broncos are going to be in panic mode to change rosters after their belting.
so a team like this I propose;
1. Milford
2. DWZ
3. Josh Morris (lets suck him balls deep to return)
4. Cotric
5. Smith
6. Josh Reynolds
7. Kieran Foran
8. TPJ
9. JMK
10. Thompson
11. Bateman
12. Jackson
13. Michael Chee Kam
