I agree

You are obviously one of the Wilson haters on here or did you just forget he was one of our try scorers!

Teah but Mahoney is so predictable and very slow at getting rid of the ball. If he doesn't change his style, we will see more defenders attacking his arms.

If we have any patience let that's fine, but if we want a premiership next season, we need to buy a couple.

My opinion is Sexton will go to another level next season and will really excel if we have 2 big boppers going forward. He really didn't have the space last season and his confidence is improving greatly. I'm happy we didn't get Hunt, but we must get a couple of top class Front rowers.

This is spot on. Sexton is good, but a year or two around Hunt would do wonders for him.

To run them around and tire them, they need to hold the F#&king ball. If we use this system, our possession needs to improve drastically from last week.

Depending on the salary, I could be a long lost relative, but it would have to be great money to claim that.

Love it. Great thinker here.

Exactly my point.

Sutton or not. We need to hold our challenge until we are 100% positive or in dire straits. So many times, we use it, lose it and then need it. Last week was a good example. Hold like your last breath I reckon.

Bring him to Townsville. I've got the boat

The Ass ass ins. I like it. :laughing:

Yep. We fell back in to the habit of giving away stupid penalties and restarts. That's what kills us.

No hate at all. Why does he get to "get back up to FG" standard while others are back in reserves. If there are better players, use them. Played a lot better yesterday but if he is not quite there, drop him back to reserves for a bit, but after yesterdays effort and improvement from past weeks...

I said weeks ago he is not as quick and doesn't pass when he needs to. Still not sold on him but he is slightly better than when he started the season. If he keeps improving all good, but if not flick him. :laughing:

The only reason I can think of why they want a player in return would be for an immediate swap. Doesn't make sense other wise.

Yeah mate, just like yours is sounded out. Arse arse in. :laughing: :laughing:

I had some doubts about Ciro making it as a Coach. Didn't call for his head, and very glad he proved me and others wrong. Go you good thing Ciro. :laughing:

At least 4. :tonguewink:

The exact reason why he is a top class centre

I don't think anyone is blaming Burto on a personal level, it's just the fact we need a better kicker. If we have one, then we need to blame the person who delegates that role.

Frank Reynolds? Is that Adams brother? :tonguewink:

There really is a very simple solution to more conversions from Tries. Instead of the big show off dives over the line, make the effort to come around under the posts. I'm fairly certain this will improve his average.

Yep. That's the same TV I was watching.

I must have been watching a different try then. I clearly saw his little finger bending up from pressure on the ball when he grounded it. I'm also old and don't have the best sight anymore but I'm not totally blind.

Pulling yourself while you perv on them doesn't count mate.

Yeah but I was born in Bankstown so my State of Origin is NSW.

I don't know about being our worst performance, but they were noticeable down on what we are getting use to and what the team is capable of. With combinations growing in confidence, we should be improving week to week. Maybe I'm expecting too much.

I'm so impressed by this mate.

They scare me also, because if they beat us the Mrs gives it to me.

He can still turn it back to the inside. Not arguing, just what I'm seeing. If you don't have speed off the mark then unload.

Correct. With all the rule changes to make the game "more entertaining" the NRL have lost their way with interpretation of the rules, which were once very clear, and all it has achieved is to aggravate and frustrate everyone. Personally, I think they've fucked the game.

who do you think? I'll give you a hint, it's not the props.

Us old fella's have seen the good years and have high expectations of the current players and for what the colours stands for.

Still not sold on him. Bit of a ball hog with lack of speed imo.

Spewing I'm gunna miss it. I'm working in Brissie for a bit. Always a good game with the Cowboys.

Never you mind spy. It's secret Dogs stuff. :mask:

Not even a little bit funny

Waiting to see if they played the same crap as last year before going ahead. Smart business there.

Don't we have one of the two legends coaching our kickers? Hazem or Halligan?

Wilson is very good for us and will only get better. Xerri, neh, he's ok. Done nothing wrong but hasn't stood out with anything special imo. I think he needs a lot more time.

Critta just needs to put the ball down closer to the posts where possible instead of making a show of scoring. 2 points from a conversion can win or lose a game.

Let's not get carried away too quickly and have to retract everything we say. Yes, at times we play well and Ciro looks the goods, but we can play very poorly as well so he looks like the assistant again. Same with Burto. He was looking like a centre playing out of position, but the last couple...

I thought Presto would be starting this week. Maybe still a bit sore?

Geez Scooby, don't hold back mate, just tell it like it is. :tonguewink:

Couldn't agree more. Just said something similar in another thread.

I find it truly amazing how everyone is settling for " they had a go or competed well" If they did the simple things right and just hung on to the ball, didn't give away stupid penalties we would win a couple more. I know it's been hard the last few years, hell I've seen the good days being in...

Exactly why Taffee needs to be our 7.

I want to know why oh why was he putting so many kicks in. Not one of them any good.

Really couldn't fault him at all. We just need to gel a bit more on the line and make better decisions with our finishing.

Tracey is looking the goods to me.

He's on the nose and on the outer by the looks of it. Lucky we got plenty of wingers.

I'm beginning to think he is on the outer.

I said the same thing when he first came on board.

I reckon you might be right.

Exactly my point.

Yeah but they could score tries. They had attack as well.

I watch every week with total frustration at the lack of attacking options we have. Sure our defence has improved but when we get some ball we have no spark in attack. We need to be able to score points if we are going to win games.

We've got a centre playing 6 so why not

From what I've seen, I concure.

In 60 years of supporting this club through the good and bad, I've never been so discusted in the team. I have never boo'd any team, mine or opposition but today I applauded the crowd. I'm fucking shattered. Go the Cowboys.

I can't take anymore of this crap.

I wouldn't wipe out the Cowboys after yesterday. Making their run at the right time.

A lot of experts on here are wrong frequently.

Now you're talking. My Dogs in Townsville. Beauty.

The last game he played for us wasn't great either.

Yep another great decision made just like the Morris boys.

JUST NO!!!

And Gus wouldn't tell a fib would he? hahaha

Absolutely spot on 1967. He can't do it all. The good teams have strength across the park.

Sounds to me like the reserves coach should be coaching the 1st team. Just saying.

I agree to an extent. He could be very good as I've said before, but any confidence is out the window. This goes for the whole team. Confidence is what we are lacking.

The Fullback? How can you blame one player. They win as a team and lose as a team. The whole team should hang their heads in shame with the exception of a couple that put in every week. Including the coaching staff!!!!

Presto & Morrin played well, but we were smashed with size. We have to get bigger forwards on the park.

Avo is better than Ala that's for sure.

This makes more sense to me.

Yeah what a lot of shit. n attack to the head is dangerous whether your attacking or defending. The NRL has f#cked up the rules so much they can't find a way out other than create more stupid rules. No common sense.

Unfortunately, we have no go forward with the dismal forward pack we have, so the only way we make ground is through MB kicking. It's painful for an old Dog to watch.

Agree. Defence was good, but we need to score points so I really want to see this attacking skills he has. Just saying maybe he he is not up to FG yet and should keep developing back in reserves for a while.

Yep, I'm happy to see him have a good game. He could be very good for us, but like TPJ, he can't do it alone. Through the decades we have had great teams that feed off each other but take them out of the team and they seem pretty ordinary. We need to be a Champion Team, not a team of champions...

I haven't seen anything from him that makes go weak in the knees like a lot on here. Probably needs to go back and gain more experience.

I'd had enough and didn't watch the post game interviews.

If you look at that try, our blokes were all facing our tryline, not attacking at all. So f#cking frustrating.

You got it. It's like a switch gets turned on then off. Sometimes the defence is good, even great at times, and then F#ck me, they are standing around star gazing. Discipline and attitude, both are dismal at times.

Averillo and Kiraz will swap wing to centre through the game as the game opens up. That's what was happening last week. Works well.

Are you kidding. Jake has always been good, just been playing out of position to cover. Jake is our centre.

Fans? Just don't listen to the Kennel, the vocal ones on here think he can't play. :laughing:

Yeah, 8 weeks in and gone already. The Boys from the 80 - 90's will be shaking their heads like me.

I think that is very likely. There is no way any sane manager or club would release a fit forward with what we have to work with. Who's the big name?????????????

I really can't see why everyone is soo hard on our backs???? They have been carrying the forwards all season so far. Blind Freddie could see that.

Let's be honest Averillo can't be any worse than any before him so give him a go. At worst, he could be a great 14.

If we had Hunt, I think the forwards we have will have more room and space created to perform better.

I'm with you K Dog. When he actually takes the field, he puts in and quite often he was the only forward going forward. With some help he will be good for us.

If they stop changing the rules the players and fans could keep up. There was nothing wrong with the rules pre 2000.

Bloody hell, don't do that to an old bloke. :grimacing:

WTF!!!!!!! I hope you are joking. F#ck me

I do think he is captain material, in the future though. He needs more patience and calm. The captain guides and lifts the players when things don't go our way, or, as it has been lately, when the Ref's are dead against us. Patience and calm grasshopper.

Luai is one of those players that would have me considering switching teams for the duration of his contract were he to sign with us. Can't stand Dickheads.

Spot on. He shows a lot of heart.
