Reese Walsh is not tall and will have a long career in the NRL. Same as Papenhuizen. I hope Papalii succeeds as he is very talented and he truly loves the club. Sent from my SM-A736B using Tapatalk

This is what we want to see. There are massive opportunities for young props at our club Sent from my SM-A736B using Tapatalk

I would be very annoyed if he goes to another club. He has a big future in NRL I love Fox but we really don't need him. Skelton, Xerri and Eli Clark can all do a job for us on much lower contracts. Sent from my SM-A736B using Tapatalk

Ciraldo deserves big credit tonight. He has shown he has the ability to coach and not just try to copy Pantherball. I hope we keep it up for the rest of the season. Sent from my SM-A736B using Tapatalk

Burton is untouchable in all this. They have built this whole team around him, even getting his Panthers boys on his edge and he still can't fire up. He puts pressure on the 7 and all the players around him by his low involvement and poor choices when he does decide to do something. His kicks...

I really like Skelton. Him and Xerri are still works in progress, but it's great to have 2 guys with that size, skill and speed putting pressure on the 1st grade guys. Sent from my SM-A736B using Tapatalk

It's criminal not getting good ball to Crichton Sent from my SM-A736B using Tapatalk

I love Fox but we are short of middles and have enough outside backs. If we dobt get sone grunt upfront we are going to keep losing. Sent from my SM-A736B using Tapatalk

For sure. If we added an elite 7 and prop we are top 8. I think we need to look to swap fox for a Middle. Sent from my SM-A736B using Tapatalk

I like Fox but we need to swap him for a prop. We have enough options out wide to cover him. Sent from my SM-A736B using Tapatalk

Let's hope that now we are in Penriths 2019 position. If so the next 5 years are looking real good Sent from my SM-A736B using Tapatalk

Haha. I was pretty young when they were winning in the 80s. Sent from my SM-A736B using Tapatalk

It's hard because we were so spoilt with great teams in the 90s and 00s and even early 10s. Not many of us are used to being cellar dwellers and its frustrating as hell being the NRL easy beats. Sent from my SM-A736B using Tapatalk

We have improved as a team, but we need to start winning or it means nothing. They should be looking to absolutely ambush Titans next week at Belmore. If we lose that game no one can defend the team. This match is must win

NFL is rigged and corrupt as fuck. As soon as the shitshow with Taylor Swift and Kelce started, I knew Chiefs were scripted to win the superbowl NRL is heading quickly in that direction Sent from my SM-A736B using Tapatalk

51 points conceded in 2 games. 12 points scored in 2 games Bad signs 2 rounds in. Sent from my SM-A736B using Tapatalk

Great comment. There is no plan b with Ciraldo. In his mind these systems worked at Penrith so they will work here. Gus should have sent him to Super League for a few years to learn how to actually coach before he took over our team. Sent from my SM-A736B using Tapatalk

If he wants to stay at 6 he better fire against Sharks. His options are playing 6 for us or going to another club. Why pay him 900k a season to play in a non spine position when Crichton and Xerri are better centres than him. Sent from my SM-A736B using Tapatalk

I think Burton will go back to Penrith and play 6. No pressure on him at Panthers and Cleary will do all the organizing. It will free him like it did to Luke Brooks. Burton has talent, but he doesn't have the heart or desire to be an alpha player. He is a sidekick style player.

Nasheed, whatever happened to your NFL dreams? Any updates?

I agree about the lack of props. We will lose games cause we get out muscled up front. But those 50/50 games we have been losing, we should be winning more with the class players we have. Ciraldo has a lot to prove next year. I want him to succeed. Let's hope he does

I can see both sides of this argument. But it is still depressing that next year we are most probably gonna be shit again. I understand the long term plan of Gus, but it gives him and Ciraldo excuses next year if we don't perform and I don't like the lack of accountability. What about if...

Polk High Bulldogs

I agree Robbo. Luai will struggle outside of Penrith. I'd rather wait for our talent to come through. If they sign Luai, it would be around 1 million or more per season. Then are we gonna put Burton who is on 900k a year in the centres? It makes no sense. And Burton may suck in the centres...

Is your name Brady or Brad? Just something I always wondered?

Great point Pottz. There is nowhere for Ciraldo to hide next year. He is in the hot seat from Round 1 and he has 8 to 10 weeks to show he is up to it

I wasn't clear in my original comment. I was not talking about guys like RFM, Sutton,Thommo and Okunbor who should go for sure. I mean blokes like Fox and Kiks. We need them firing and being the leaders they are to start winning and attract quality players to the club

It sounds extreme to get rid of Ciraldo but he has clearly lost a big part of the playing group. How he can win them back. I don't know how he does it. Round 1 next year will show if he has the team back on track or if he is the problem

I appreciate your positivity about the future. But Ciraldo gives us no reason to be hopeful. Our defence is horrible. The players don't look united and most look disinterested. How can Ciraldo fix that in the off season when the problems look ingrained? How can he win back the trust and...

All he does is his shit end to end kicks on 5th tackles Never creates for anyone, ball plays, or even looks interested in winning. He needs a major rocket and if that doesn't work he needs to go JAC and Kikau look bad too. Ciraldo is massively out of his depth, and it looks like Gus is as well

We have a club full of mercenaries at all levels. Us fans are the only ones who truly care

Luai is very good at the Panthers, but at any other club he would be a slight upgrade on Josh Reynolds. Alot of Panther players are protected in that system and get exposed when playing repp footy

We just got some South Sydney level reefing there. And it feels nice to be honest

This is what we need from him each week. He can do that easy. No flashy crap

RFM has 0 run metres. What a disgrace

We already have enough small forwards. Why do we need another one.

I hope this oil is true. No more Panther

I think they should make him reserve grade captain and keep him there for the rest of his contract if they can't trade him. Like parra do with Jordan Rankin in NSW cup

It will be interesting what Gus and Ciro do with Avo and Alomoti. We are short of depth with our middle forwards

Our depth in our outside backs is great now and then next year we get Xerri and Critta

It's great having a heap of dogs juniors in the backs in our top 17. I hope we can have a heap of great juniors coming through in the forwards

1st half was real bad. To Ciraldos credit, he unleashed the shackles and told them to just go out and play footy in the 2nd half. Our only successful style we can play is unstructured footy like today in the 2nd half and against Storm. This is the only way Burton can look like the star that he is

I don't like to shit on players, but Thommo hasn't provided us what we needed from him. I wish him the best in his future at his next club

Gus needs to try to offload TPJ. He us giving us nothing

Coby, hahaha. You can't help yourself you shit stirrer

Just look forward to the day that we are so good it doesn't matter who refs us. Even if we get shit calls we will just steamroll the other team

Let's go dogsssss

Yesssss

[emoji817]. It's the only way to unlock Burton's potential. He needs to play off instinct. Not structure

We have 2 strike 2nd rowers now. How good is that

A rare treat indeed

We're not the family club any more, we are the talking club now

[emoji817]. The soul has been sucked out of this club. All I wanted today was total commitment and effort. A performance like that in round 1 is massively concerning and a sign of where the playing groups heads are at

He has good bombs but it can't be all he has to offer. He needs to run at the line a lot more, ball play more and take ownership of the team. We need much more from him this year

I'm glad we didn't get him. He wanted big dollars and he is only a bench player. He comes on when Leota and Fisher Harris have done all the heavy lifting. He is a major risk at the money he was asking

Good luck to him. Guaranteed money till 2030. Had a crack at NRL level and struggled so he found his niche over in the super league. No shame in that

Big Gus planting the seeds for our future

Let's hope it's the dolphins

This post has too much torque for my liking

You can't doubt Flanno's commitment and his defence. But he needs to massively improve his attacking and kicking games if he wants to have a long career in the NRL

Seriously, how good is it having Gus steering the ship. No more rash or panic decisions. There is a clear plan and Gus and the back office staff are executing it beautifully.

Imagina Napa was still at the club. Jimmy would have a mental breakdown dealing with his BS

Just get Carrigan and he is our instant captain for the next 10 years

Haha. But Gus does get some respect

Manly would have to chip in money if they release him. Tommy at 750- 800k a year would be great

Do you remember when you poached Peter Tunks, Peter Kelly, Chris Mortimer and Phil Gould from us then won the comp in 91? I guess you could say the 91 premiership belongs to The dogs?

You can park at the multi level carpark at Parra Leagues free before 3pm I think. I done it earlier in the year. Better to ring Parra leagues up to double check

His defence and effort are excellent and he is fully invested in every game If he could learn to lead a team around and get to a Chad Townsend level in attack then we would have our 7 for a long time. Townsend is a good steady player and that's the level of 7 that we need, especially with all...

I really like what Gus is doing signing great junior talent. When they all develop to NRL standard hopefully around the same time the improvement in the first grade team will be massive

Is Barrett coaching us again? Where have all our points gone?

100%

If Carrigan came to the dogs he instantly becomes the club captain. He is a true leader

100%. If Ciraldo could turn Jake into our own version of Dylan Edwards then that is perfect, and we could spend big money elsewhere. Jake has the talent to get to that level.

Keep the current attack and just shore up the defense. Structured teams hate playing against teams who throw it around,which is most of the good teams

TPJ is a gun. I would like to see him drop a bit of weight and increase his fitness so we can get more minutes out of him but still keep his physicality and intimidation factor. After game 3 of origin , NSW is begging for a enforcer for game 1 next year and if TPJ cones out next year and carves...

Such an empty victory and the cowboy players were celebrating like they earned it

What a load of shit. The NRL hates it when their golden teams get beaten by teams at the bottom of the ladder

I like that Mick has come out publically and stated he wants a job here. He is a great bulldogs man and he gets what it means to be a bulldog

Vossy has always been fair when it comes to the dogs. He has no agenda against the club which is refreshing for a commentator

Go Malta.

Tigez get Thommo and we get Hastings. Do it Gus!!!

It's good to see him look happy and interested on the field as well. I hope he can keep up the form and enthusiasm. I like having juniors like him and Kiraz in the team

Let's hope the dogs at least make game of it. Remember the last game in 2019 we beat them at Bankwest. That was a great game.

100 percent. He would instantly become our captain. See him in the sheds at halftime. It's his first origin game and he was laying down the law like a 30 gamer

Imagine we didn't have Burton. What a depressing thought. He is our future. What a star

Our DNA is winning. That's all it is

Will you change your name again once Dufty leaves?

Can someone post that crying cat photo. It is very called for

This is right. Send Kyle to England and let him develop his game like Jackson Hastings did and only bring him back if he has improved massively

Hetherington goneeeee

As much as it sucks to lose, the loss to the Knights may well be the most important loss we have ever had. Onwards and upwards doggies!!!!!

I know you read this forum Gus. You sacked Griffin when panthers were in 4th position. It's a no brainer for you to get rid of Baz tonight. Baz is making you look like shit Gus and you need to step up and fix this asap. Do what you were hired to do Gus. Make us great again

U been hitting the pipe again today?

It's good he has is getting closer to some game time.

Very true Menteek. Kiraz and Max King are 2 diamonds in the rough he has found on the cheap. Gus has forgotten more about league than most will ever know

This is 100% true. Baz is embarrassing Gus at the moment and making him look bad. Gus has a very healthy ego and he won't cop this crap. Baz is done, it's only a matter of when Gus publically announces it

It's scary how poorly coached we are.

This is so true. If dogs lose on Thursday or Friday night the NRL is dead to me for the rest of the weekend
