Another gutsy effort.

[UndeadShadowMan]

Cant score tries because we don't run straight & hard at the line then look for an offload with someone backing up running hard. Dumb ass football team we have no idea should change our name to the Canterbury Bansktown Crabs.

Heyyyy, not a bad idea.
We could have this as the new sponsor....at least no one would come anywhere near our useless *****.

On twitter they are getting hammered with negative comments to that post. Happy to see people making their feelings clear.

@nrl_bulldogs twitter have blocked me hahahahahaha.
They're going to be busy blocking people from twitter.
What a joke and an embarrassment

so you are saying you werent #proudoftheeffort?

Is that what I wrote? no I was not but, at least there was an effort... not good enough tonight but, they tried with a poor roster in important positions, Frawley is not worth 2 knobs of pelican shit IMO maybe he will get better but I doubt it!!

We are a gutsy side tbh. We have been in the mix in almost every game. We are just lack any footy IQ from our spine and really lacking speed to threaten in attack. We certainly defend well enough, thus we only concede 18 points a game . This defence would see most other teams winning most of their games. Problem is we are only averaging 13 points per game.

13 ppg? A bit generous, no?

Concede 18pts?

Manly - Bulldogs 36-0
Bulldogs - Panthers 0-38
Broncos - Bulldogs 42-12

For - 12
Against - 116

Gutsy efforts aren't wins. Club is full of patsies

13 ppg? A bit generous, no?

260 points divided by 19 games played = 13.68 points

Just sounds inflated lol

No comment anymore! Over it!

That's 3 games . Look at defensive stats across the 19 games played.357 points against divided by 19 games 18.78 points per game. D not our issue . Our attack is the reason we are loosing. Gutsy we are. Skilful we are not.

True. And I agree we are playing like a busted Arsehole.
But if we could manage to average one more converted try a game we would be covering our differential back to positive. Defence has been good for most games. Our attack has just been so horrendous that its cost us most games.

 

[Magilla]

No the mistakes were not made by Des but the game oops what game plan and the team selections were Des' fault. He is a stubborn prick. Worst record since 1969 i.e. 6 losses in a row and 7 wins from last 23 games. Hes lost the players and is over coaching them.

 

[Die For The Badge]

We need a complete overhaul. It's going to take years but now is the time to do it. Our whole backline is shit other than MM. Forwards r doing their job. Our backs are rubbish. Mbye must stay at 9. Eastwood has been gone for half the season. We have missed him as well. Kasiano will be a big loss. des destroyed him as he doesn't know how to use him. He should of been starting every match with Tolman on the bench.
Lichaa was a Williams equivalent buy. Waste of money. Morris boys days r over. Stanley has recovered too late in his career.

Unfortunately we can't go back in time and get that extra try, and nothing has been done to rectify it therefore it's time for Des and the board to fall on their sword. They created this disaster.

100% agree that Des needs to go. Should of been canned last year. Our attack has been discgraceful.

I was just high lighting that our defence is not to bad and that if we improved our attack we could of been in the mix for the finals . As you said can't go back in time.

Backline for 2018

1. B Morris (yes, his knees are fucked and lateral movement is slow but he's more dynamic at fullback than anyone else and with a full offseason to rest, hope he'll come good). Abbey to shadow
2. Montoya
3. Hopoate - we all know he's not a fullback
4. J Morris
5. Lee (yep I called for him to be dropped after he let in two tries, so put him on the wing so we've got some kind of attacking threat while lowering our liability)
6. Foran
7. Frawley/Cleeland/Lewis

Forwards

8. Klemmer (wind up and run son)
9. Mbye (agree that he needs to stay here)
10. Woods
11. RFM
12. Fine
13. Jackson

Bench

14. Tualau
15. Elliot (think 80 min/game is taking its toll, needs to be used in spurts)
16. Graham
17. Fualolo

Sooooo.....put your $1000,000 international prop (Woods) in reserve grade?

Yeh forgot about him and edited the post to put him in...reluctantly. Still don't think we needed him and must have been part of a Tedesco/Woods deal that fucked up...
