News ‘What do they do?’: Bulldogs’ big Pangai headache as dropped star on ‘crazy money’ goes unwanted

[Dogmonster]

Hopefully, but i think he is one of them players that only can manage 2 or 3 tough games a year.

And 1 of those games is against the bye.

No way I would give up TPG. He just needs to work on the mental side of his game. Surely the Club have people who can support/help him with this?

 

[TwinTurbo]

If Ciraldo can't get the best out of TPJ then he's not the coach that people rave about all the time. TPJ's issues are not physical, he has the perfect game for an impact forward, together with all the skills, he just needs an attitude adjustment. That's what good coaches do and that's what Ciraldo absolutely has to do, get TPJ performing for 50 to 60 minutes regularly. He's not an 80 minute worker, he's an impact player, 2 stints of 25 to 30 minutes, blow the opposition off the park.

Our player & family welfare officer needs to work on Mrs TPJ in the offseason, do whatever is necessary to get her to Sydney permanently. House, nanny, nurse , bring the family, whatever it takes, just get it done.

Always a Bulldog

This is beyond Ciraldo.

The last thing Gus wants is for Ciraldo to be concerned about one player not buying in or to spend most of his time on him. Pangai is gone. He may get picked this week because he can't play NSW cup, if he is picked it will be his last game for the Dogs. Otherwise he has already played his last game for us.

Pangai ran for 218 metres in NSW cup. Its a good sign that he isn’t being shit whilst being dropped.

Motherfuckers on here want to question his commitment still while he drops numbers like that..fuck we have shit fans

I think Gus has to take him under his wing.

He ran for 218 metres to impress a potential new club, not because he suddenly became committed to the Bulldogs.

He has had 20-odd chances this year to impress, but apart from about two good games he has been garbage. He scores slightly higher than a lump of rock with a GCS of 4/15 (refer to the Glasgow Coma Scale = 1 for Ocular, 2 for Oral, 1 for Motor). A rock has a GCS of 3 out of 15 because it just sits there.

What they do is tell the fucker to pull his finger out and dominate.

Create a cult following. Alls he needs to do is run hard, off load, make his tackles with occasional big hit and don’t give away penalties. He does that and the fans will love him and all these articles will vanish.

He IS being targeted by the refs though. Every time he is near the ball they call his name out even if he isn't doing anything. Against Paramatta he was getting a facial & he was being called out.

I doubt Gus has time for that either.

Teams that are challenging for a premiership don't waste their time on shit like this and we should be no different next year.

Every day he shows up to training is a day to impress. He's cooked. He's gone. No chance he comes back next year so whoever is holding on to any hope referring to his stats in a meaningless reggies game (for him) needs to pack it up and forget it. He's gone.

@sifter6 I particularly liked the Glascow Coma Scale reference. Nice.

GUS would need a giant set of wings to take all the drop-kicks from our squad under his wings.

I don't think fans ripping into our squad means we 'are poor quality fans'. What it means is 'we are sick of six years of dog crap performances from a bunch of overpaid pea-hearts'. Every person is loyal to the squad... but come-on, enough is enough. Anyone that saw club legends like Geoff Robinson play will acknowledge he was a pretty good footballer, not a superstar... but he played with a giant heart and with team spirit, something woefully lacking nowadays.

Are you in the know? Is this a certainty?
Is it because of attitude and the energy he brings into camp?

 

[Extra-time-polla-mounter]

He hasn’t ran over 100 metres since our round 15 win against a weak tigers pack, he has definitely been dropped because of form.

His run meters are lower because since that round 15 win over Tigers he's been given greatly reduced minutes (Avg. of 30 mins a game.) Against the Tigers he had 51 minutes.

TPJ Minutes played since the Tigers game:

Sharks: 22 minutes
Souths: 42 minutes
Titans: 31 minutes
Knights: 30 minutes
Eels: 32 minutes <-- his last game for us

Against the eels, the last game he played for us, when he ran to the line and put Max King into a hole it was as good as Cliffy Lyons at his best, no other forward in the dogs team is capable of what he did there. Josh Jackson has been trying to ball play for 4 seasons and has had 500 touches a game and hasn't had a single moment even close to this.

The player who produces this is dropped for form? This was the last game he played for us. What does Edwards for example offer that is an improvement on TPJ? In attack they are not even close to comparable. Defensively, these inexperienced guys don't know how to defend next to each other and make basic errors. See here at 2:57

They can't keep a straight line, Jackson races up, Edwards hangs back and a triangle forms. It's below NSW Cup standard. These guys who are keeping TPJ out made the Warriors look like a top 4 team. I think I just find it hard to believe that TPJ can't get a spot in a 17 that put out performances like this.

Pangai is best when he's charging the line and getting the odd offload away. Lately he's become offload mad and just ambles into the line to stay balanced and try to offload every time. Hopefully Ciraldo can simplify if for him so he plays with aggression and just lets the rest come naturally. A better on field captain might help him too - we should Hunt around for one now.

I see what you did there! Well done!

Well if that's the case I'd really love to know who the club are targeting to replace him. Because we were at least 1 powerful front rower short with Vaughan leaving, so now make that 2. Burton better get used to clearing kicks from his own 30.
