Article: Dogs unrest claims as text message reportedly reveals player ‘frustration’ at coach demands

[steeliz]

Well Mr Steeliz, if that is your real name, I would advise you to not be so naive as to think life is black and white, good guys and bad guys. And that there is element of truth and two sides to every argument.
Like you, I would love to think that this is a case of a coach with a blueprint of success and we have lazy players who can’t hack it.
but I’m not naive.
The truth is unlikely to be so clear cut.
CC definitely too rly has his plan but he is a rookie coach.
8 players is alot. A lot. Most of those 8 players have been in other systems they selves and know what other teams do in training.
So if they are collectively saying they are getting pushed then it seems a bit coincidental we just happen to have the laziest 1/4 of the squad in the nrl who are complaining about normal training.
So there must be something to it. Evidenced by all our injuries during training, us not performing as a team and now them publically complaining about our methods.
That’s why I’m saying let’s look at the entire picture.
1/ what is the truth on our training regime? Is it really 8.30 to 5?
2/ what do other teams do? Is there a large discrepancy?

If all teams are pumping out 8 hour days then maybe the issue is bigger and this is a smokescreen.
But if it is significantly larger then players have a point. And how we mediate going forward.

This is a better approach to the situation than ‘my dadddy did 12 he I r days as an electrician in the 80s, so should our guys’.
All that would result in is they say ‘no worries, habe your 11 hour days, best of luck in your recruitment endeavours, we are signing for St George’.

Once again stop spreading bullshit.

Not one NRL team does 5hrs and calls it a day.

None.

Not 1

So just stop with the lies.

[Rebuilding Phase]

We all know who the players that have complained. It’s very obvious and some of them haven’t been seen again

You put more effort into this post than the players have put in all year.

Braith shut the drunk **** down when he started crapping on about Gus

Sure did. He knows his agenda. Braith sure shows a lot of love for the dogs

If the team continually plateaux out at the 60 minute mark and cannot keep up with the opposition it means they lack the fitness. To be fit you need to train for it and if they are not fit for a full 80 minutes, it means they are not training hard enough.

 

[kmr07]

Let's see if his selections and rotations improve.... can't blame the players on that.

Agree with you, but let’s be real there is not much to choose from right now. Maybe Skelton for Wilson, the other selections are pretty much forced (e.g. Bringing Perham back because two centres are out, having to play Waddell on an edge because Preston is out)

 

[Total Fool]

I blame that bloody Jobel’s coffee shop outside Belmore…. Surely after pointing the finger at every single human inside BSG…. That bird at Jobel’s has something to answer for regarding our Defensive structures?

He can maybe blame the players for that but bench rotations and positions are all on that duds head.

Not a Rothfield fan but It's a fair point he made though in regards to Gould prioritizing his media over the club especially with Ciraldo being a rookie coach and drowning in shit.

I wonder how much help Gus actually gives the assistant? Looks like he has completely wasted his hands of him.

8.30 to 5…. You mean like a real job except you’re doing something you love, have two months off a year, a couple of weekends to Bali during the season and a salary of at least $250k a year? I can understand the frustration.

Who the fuck claimed they are being flogged physically from 8-5pm every day. What a load of crap. So an employer who is paying $100’s of thousands of dollars in wages per player, can’t ask them to be be present for whatever their job requires?? Video sessions, gym work, ball work, sponsor commitments, team talks, cardio, massage etc etc..

Buy in or fuck off is probably the motto that should be pushed..We are currently losers, so that simply means we need to work twice as hard for as long as it takes to get back to where we belong.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Love the Fox, but no real loss to be honest. I don’t want 100m tries, I want to see creativity in the middle that if you had a ten year old on the wing and created space for them they’d score. I do not want to see us rely on intercepts and tries that come from pure chance.

Said in another thread we should poach Sua Faalogo off Storm / Falcons to replace him.

Blokes a muppet, there’s things called video sessions and other non-physical tasks incorporated - they’re not doing weights and running sand hills all day…

Lmao @ Ciraldo offers to rub oil on Burto, tells him not only does he he lift better with oil on, he glistens.
Magnificent

I remember 3 months ago you wrote an essay about all the hard work Alamoti did and all the blood sweat and tears it took to get him to first grade and @lovemachine told u the truth was he was lazy and now this happens.
A lot of these Nrl players don’t have this eye of the tigers. It’s not that hard to get to nrl level in comparison with other sports.
A bit of footy Iq, speed, size and fitness and you’re halfway there. Especially if Islander where your body is built for it.
Look at TPJ who came out and said he was never interested much in rugby league

Yes true, I did write an essay in reply to a comment you posted about Alamoti being shit, don’t remember any mention about him being lazy, just a comment that he was a piece of shit … think it was from one of your fake burner accounts .. I stuck up for the kid and said that type of talk about a person was uncalled for, especially considering the work he’s most probably contributed to his training throughout the years to get to 1st grade ..

But no idea why your bringing that up now, we’re not talking about Alamoti and the hard work he’s put into training over the years …

We’re talking about players who aren’t prepared to put in that level of training …

Catch up !!

And you didn’t explain what roeeteasly means ?

 

[Nasheed]

No, no you don’t.

Actually I do you just couldn’t keep up

 

[capt obvious]

I read in a thread about a week ago I can't recall which one but someone posted what Renyolds said an average day as a first grader at Canterbury involves.

From memory it sounded fuck all and for the most part they were just in meetings most of the day with bits n pieces of training which wasn't much

U can listen to it all, big sports breakfast podcast Wednesday last week

I don’t have a burner account. Love machine is a disciple and an associate. I’ve said positive things about Alamoti in the past.
Alamoti is one of the ones complaining about this long training so which is it?
He’s lazy or has the eye of the tiger?

ps.
roeeteasly = previously.
Intelligent ppl would have recognised that typo for what it was.
