Rumour Are we 1999 Magpie level bad?

We will be lucky to get to 3 wins. I’ve never seen such a bad dogs side. Even under pay we were better and defended well.

We only won 3 last year...I think
Participation awards for everyone

We aren't 1999 Magpies quality, we are 1982 Raiders quality

Well here we are again boys

It looks like you were right. Where's Leo Dynevor and Harvey Howard when you need them?

 

[Benno Bulldog]

That was a poorly managed defence compared to previous weeks but not reflective of the team overall

 

[Chris Harding]

Whilst the talk has been when we will get our next win, I agree with TBs view in that the goal for 2021 is to get incrementally better game by game with this side and develop players. The goal next year is to make finals and depending on how much improvement we land via recruitment & development, seriously challenge for the title.

How many increments did we improve by today?

Tigers go pumped the same with a full strength team... That was trial team that played today.

I think so. Remember, Broncos scored a lot of points against us... and right now, I can't see any victory. For example, before last weekend, I *might* have been hopeful against the Cowboys. But now I know we will lose... and unfortunately, we are incapable of losing in a close one. Our heads go down.

I honestly can't see a single victory this season. Who would we raise our game against? Usually we can rely on at least a struggle against the Eels, that might give us a bit of confidence about our ability to compete... Can you honestly see this?

Everyone thinks we are at rock bottom... I fear we will still be falling, to new depths, for sometime yet.

I wasn't entirely correct. We've won two games... We won't win anymore though. Ok, we've got a stack of good players coming next season... With our coach, I wouldn't be surprised if they don't fire either. We're so fucked

 

[Benno Bulldog]

disappointing but realistically we r improving looked like our attack was organised just ineffective, defence organised but diabolically weak

with 4 games to go


PPG
Dogs 12.9
Magpies 12.05

Magpies 3 wins
Bulldogs 2 wins

Peak table position
Dogs: 13th Round 1
Magpies 13th Round 1

Points against per game
Magpies 31.9

Can't see us getting a win unless the Tigers take us even lighter in 2 rounds time.

Is this our worst season ever? Surely 2 wins is our worst ever season result??

 

[Headmix]

On our day we can beat at least 8 teams in the comp from here on in... definitely 6 we cant... which we’ve already played 3 of.

manly
Warriors
Tigers
Cronulla
Titans
St george
Cowboys
Knights

we can beat any of these teams on the day...the tough start we’ve had will pay dividends at the back end of the year for sure

I was slightly off … lol

 

[Cappuccino]

that West team averaged 39 point against them per game.
After 5 games we are at 35 points against. I can't believe we will be that bad the whole season.

31.04 per game being scored against us still

in 1935 we beat University twice.

 

[chisdog]

I think we have a better team than Wests but the poor quality team issue has been compounded by injuries & suspensions. I think it's a record for suspensions & it is a record of sin bins. I think that 2020-21 should have asterisks next to them as it is a different game with the re-starts. It needs to go & go back to a decent game.

Thanks for the reminder. Fuck me.

Interesting.

At first thought, thinking of those thrashings the Magpies were getting, I'd tell you you were bloody crazy to suggest the dogs of 2021 were anywhere near that bad, but those stats suggest it may not be such a crazy idea.
