Happy enough with the Foran obstruction because he made the effort the get across and even though he got there , the split second he was obstructed may have an impact on the try being scored. However, the Burton obstruction has me baffled.If anything he was there as a support player where he...

If we keep these young players

We looked a lot better shifting to our right than we did going left Is that a Burton issue? Considering we have about 8 starters out and concerns over our props , it’s an encouraging half Interested to see Hughes go after the off season wraps and I think we’ve found another player , looks strong

He can’t run a team What evidence is there that he’s run a team for a prolonged period of time with high standards to be able to lead the tigers off the bottom of the table ? There is none because he’s never been afforded the opportunity to do so . The tigers have gone all in and taking a...

You would have thought the tigers would have learnt a thing or 2 paying overs for halves when the rest of their roster and office is bent out of shape . Seems like a board room power play but that’s way overs to the point it’s reckless spending . No doubt luai is talented player but that’s...

Sign AFB and Luai Release Burton

If the dogs are interested and I think we are , then he’s on his way here !! The panthers connections were building will be a significant factor and you could argue the roosters are on the decline and once Tedesco and others retire they’ll find out the the same issue we’ve been facing that...

He’s not even going to be in the 17 to run the lines kikau did . He’s got the last spot of the top 30 which basically means he’s a short gap stop solution in the event of injuries and by giving him a 1 year deal there isn’t any faith from the panthers in his abilities . Unless he improves his...

There is not much he would have to do ,to over shadow Flanagan . Now he’s no longer with the bulldogs , he was one of the worse recruits I’ve witnessed over the last few decades . How on earth a coach would identify there was something that he could work with in Flanagan is beyond me . He...

The only resolution is showing him the way out the door and for those that support or stood up for him to follow suite . All the sensitive types who feel sorry for the lad and are worried about hurt feelings are completely missing the big picture here . This is not about an incident about...

I also think the energy in defence was good today but individual reads cost us a few tries and sadly , it’s been the case for all season . Think we defended David Fifita very well but they thought Foran didn’t need to be tackled . We looked under duress when ever they got an offload or when...

FMD Mahoney has become the player I film despise watching in bulldogs colours Fukn clueless

Anyone knows anything about this Damon marshal fella . Heard great wraps about him and seen him play in schoolboys , looks a great prospect .

Totally agree We whinge and complain when we can’t off the bottom and the moment hard decisions need to be made , people still cry and whinge . No player is bigger than the club , fukn embarrassing questioning your employers instructions If we behaved like this in our workplace , downed...

Agree But I heard this info from a reliable source at the game on sunday . Burton has asked to play fullback

I’m in the ciraldo corner for now . If someone like Preston who was a nsw cup player can come in , commit and knuckle down then let’s find more of him.

Don’t be surprised to see him start as our number 6 next year Burton 1

Why would you want to win back players that have shown 1. They are not up to standard 2. They are not listening or responding to coach’s demands The least of the problems we should be concerned about is whether or not we’ve lost the buy in from a playing group that have delivered these...

Kiraz is showing park footballer that he is

Kiraz can take his whining ass back to park football ..

It does not make any sense that Pangai is using boxing as an excuse to get out of a contract when we were probably willing to let him leave. I think he has potential to become a good boxer but if he lacked the discipline and fortitude to make a go of it in league , then he’s going to fail at...

If catching a ball is the criteria for playing NRL then Skelton should be nowhere near first grade .

You should get some facts right before you comment . Listen to Gus podcast on the 2nd August . He speaks about Salmon , how he played in junior teams with his son , was always a talent and at some of his career was going to sign him He’s been floating around panthers as a utility but...

So , we’ll have another assistant given the head coaching role ?

Why ? At this stage of the season with all the injuries and disruptions we are 3 wins from a top 8 position Add the fact , we lost games we could have won in the warriors and roosters and we had perham and Flanagan in our spines for most part of the year. With some luck we could have been...

That’s nonsense I can’t understand why the hate on ciraldo . Was this season really going to be one we could challenge for the top 8? Maybe if remained injury free and had our best 17 to pick from each week, results would have been better but the squad still had glaring weaknesses Would...

Kind of makes you anxious when the 2025 lists start dropping … Any moment !

What injuries ? If you’re talking about the injury he sustained when slipped and twisted his ankle well then that’s just plain bad luck and has nothing to do with contact injury . The muscle cramp where he missed a week or so was insignificant . What other injuries has he sustained where...

Burton must have the lowest footy IQ of any NRL half . It’s infuriating with some of the things he comes up with His decision making and application is poor at times and they tend to be a critical moments that change momentum . Sure he has talent and it’s what’s got him to where he is but...

What the fuk has the coaching got to do with anything when you bomb 3 sitters ? FMD

Our footy IQ is pre school level

Who fuk is over Mahoney and his stupidity

What a fukn dud

RFM out Edwards starting Knight bench

Big difference when you pay minimal wage for standard players as opposed to premium prices for standard players like we have been doing The simple fact , the roster is young and weak at the moment . The problem with young players is that you’re taking a chance that they continue to improve...

Exactly the point All you hear is -We have a weak NRL roster . -Half the roster don’t make any other top 30 from other clubs . -Other half of roster should not play NRL again Add to the fact that we’ve had the : -Worse injury toll club has endured. -Youngest squad in the NRL . -Debuted...

Just can’t help but feel that averillo is just starting to show consistency at NRL level albeit him shuffling around multiple positions and the best is ahead of him The problem with him is that in all his positions there’s always that little ?? mark with him

If he can run the ball more than 3 times and amass a whopping 12 metres in those runs , he’d already be better than RFM’s output

He’ll probably be named in the starting 13 and that probably shows the calibre of players we have at the moment . If we had to endure the suttons and RFM masquerading as forwards then Knight’s a welcomed addition

Well , if you’re asked to play a position that your not suited to ( Prop ) then you’re going to have real difficulties especially when you don’t have the size or heart No coincidence that Sutton and RFM who have been asked to up play up front are the one having a sook and going from our...

That’s great Now they can all go find new clubs cause there absolutely useless

Haha we’re playing premiers with putrid reserve graders

Just curious Who on earth do you pick considering how putrid the reserves have been and all injuries Name a line up and it’ll be putrid no matter what

Flanagan starting hooker .. ahahaha

Preston out hahah The only player that can defend

We’ll lose by 50 instead of 100

Rajeb defence is putrid .. Should never see NRL with that crap.. Thing that gets me , we can see it from the stands how soft he is but someone thought he was NRL ready and got exposed big time

Crichton Kiraz Xerri Burton JAC KarlO Sexton

You’ve blown a load over Skelton not once but multiple times and you will see even with a reserve grade broncos team he’s not NRL standard . I think he’s going to get a lot of traffic and get exposed in defence big time and show what a plodder he actually is

And he’s only 23 [emoji6]

The absurdity of the claims are the club has been in dialogue with NRL as to how we can achieve this legally to which they’ve deferred it to the salary cap auditors according to Gus . Now , if we had any intentions of circumventing the salary cap with a deal of this magnitude it would pretty...

Nah pass on EQW He gives me Darryl Millard vibes . If he works on his defence , you could cop him as a back up but should not be considered first choice.

I’ll take a 50% match fit kikau for 20-30 minutes

Just means we don’t have to see Rajeb and Flanagan in the halves again while giving KarlO the time he needs to develop . If that’s the standard we’ll get from the 7 then it bloody encouraging . Wasn’t hard to see the halves played with a lot more fluidity

FO you dopes with your Skelton shit

Wtf did burton try to do there , fmd

Cause the players we have that have trained in their respective positions absolutely stink , as if evidence wasn’t enough

Haha .. I’ve seen this bloke play and don’t understand the hype . Bog average He’s that horrible in defence they’ve pushed out to the wing and he still sucks but let’s give him a NRL debut

What on earth does he deserve ? He’s been in 1 st grade for 5 seconds and has not done anything to make himself a central figure What does that say about his character , quitting cause things are not going well or too hard ? If he’s a quitter , that’s no player you want around the club ...

Haha [emoji23] We lost it over 10 yrs ago

Fukn alomoti has no idea in defence

Absolute useless If ya can’t defend you have no place in 1sr grade Pathetic defence

Hahah fmd The kennel never ceases to amaze . I could steer a car with my feet but that doesn’t make it a good idea . Stop with the stupidly

It’s great hearing the pathways is the focus but what’s the point if you end up realising their duds 50 games into their career or players like averillo who you come to realise are expendable . You’ll end up with a perpetual rebuild We have salary cap money and imo this talk is about buying...

Jeez Some of you need to get a life Hanging by every word and studying his body language to come to your own conclusions Gus also predicted ryles was not going to sign with dragons despite all mainstream media had ryles $1.01 to be saints coach If we did in fact sign brooks , do you...

Seems fairly straight forward to me .. Add some size and power in first quarter of the match which seems to be doing ok in respects to us at least starting off reasonably well . Where we suffer greatly has been our yardage sets coming off our line ( abysmal ) and or forward depth rotation has...

Burton called into NSW team as 18th man Not available for this weeks game

I’m a little 50/50 on this . Both averillo and alamoti have suffered from our pack getting dominated hence cutting room and space for them and also injuries have disrupted any combinations they’re able to form with players inside and outside of them Averillo has more upside with ball in hand...

I’d say one of the most sought out assistant in the game who over saw one of the strongest rosters in the modern game and one of the most astute minds in the game in Gould would known a thing or 2 than some arm chair critics If you or anyone else had expectations of us challenging for a...

What on earth is the obsession with Skelton ? He’s bog average , questionable hands and a liability in Defense and that’s in NSW cup . For the record , we’ve had a well performed NSW cup side for a few years now but the step up to first grade is a bridge too far for some . Last few years ...

Correct No forward leader No halves leader It had to take a new recruit in Mahoney to be made captain .

What excuses has he used you clown !!

Forwards !! You have Pele making 14 metres per run NRL , he makes 6-7

To be fair , isn’t that what you expect burton to do as well ? For the same reason any other halves we put in first grade at this stage , they’ll struggle cause it’s a young team and we have weaknesses in the squad Mahoney’s HIA cost us today . I think he plugs one of those holes the roosters...

That was on KO

If betting agencies influence the game as you say . Wouldn’t they favour decision go towards the outsider ? Say what you will about referees but if your not good a team to overcome the atrocious decisions the bad decision are then really amplified . There’s a simple fact , we are only sport...

When you have a young squad , you have to expect inconsistent performances Add to the fact injuries to key players , lack of a quality fullback and still tinkering with the halves it’s not hard to understand why we struggle The potential is there but the squad even at full strength is...

Max king has been putrid as well last few weeks . But agree , our middle is atrocious , our fullback is cringey and I like the fact burton is getting more involved but we need a genuine halfback , were the fuk we find one , who bloody knows

Fuk off ya idiot

What a useless ****

Get off the drugs … and if your not on any , get on them ffs How could watch that 80 minutes and say that only TPJ needs to be dropped These players let in the following Alomoti , 2 tries Casey 1 try Perham 1 try Take away just one of those stupid mistakes and we win , take away all...

Completely agree He’s 3 games back from an extended injury Needs to stay on park but to say he’s useless is over the top . If he stays fit for the raft of year , think he’ll provide valuable service next year for us

Love the way we’re building But it’s also showing up weaknesses For all criticism Waddell gets , he’s holding up and proving invaluable Crighton signing for fullback is completely validated and xerri signing I think was for Averillo but how funny things can chnage 1 or 2 more king/...

If xerri shows a glimpse of his previous form there is no way back into NRL for him .. he’s still young but very under whelmed

Too small , too slow and very poor defensively If he had some X factor , you’d make arguments for him but xerri out for 4 years gets the start for me

Useless !!

Learn what ? He had no wingers to pick and no centres Wtf are you on about

Needs to go

Alomoti fmd

Props come off after 20 minutes especially one that’s been missing from injury Not excusing but to blame selections is poor considering how poor our depth is We all breathed easy when some players come back but you can’t have it both ways when others contribute to poor performance

First 15 minutes they were defending ffs What would you expect them to do

Xerri Averillo Alomoti back up

I would take someone from our women’s Harvey Norman team over Casey

How the fuk are we in this game

FMD we have some retards Almoti Casey Perham Useless !

Where the fuk was Casey to take that bomb

That was Fukn Casey fault all day Pathetic

Xerri and Averillo give attacking threats on both sides . Depends on how xerri performs in off season but let’s say for arguments sake he gets back to 75% of his potential , would he take Alomoti’s position ? It feels like if Averillo can influence on a game like he did yesterday then it’s a...

Very impressed by his efforts Looks like he has improved from last year . For those old enough , reminds a little of Simon gillies Tough , no nonsense forward with a great work rate and effort These types of players are essential in your team It’s really exciting to see the shape of the...

How about the dragons holding us down in first half and no sim bin
