Same broStill need a Hooker
I can't see us going back to "the Berries" or "CBs".At least now we have an upgrade from Montoya, Holland and Cogger with COTRIC, JAC, FLANAGAN & also BURTON
Are you sure we are still Called THE BULLDOGS? [emoji56][emoji56][emoji56]
It is a big turnaround, Dean PAY didnt have any money in salary cap. I believe he deserved 1 more year to prove himself. I dont blame him for the last 3 years. I don't think any coach would have done any better.Yes just look at the players we signed last off season vs this off season.
What about the fitness, come on mate Pay was hopelessIt is a big turnaround, Dean PAY didnt have any money in salary cap. I believe he deserved 1 more year to prove himself. I dont blame him for the last 3 years. I don't think any coach would have done any better.
We did not win any wooden spoon in that time.
Important to note on paper we have had the worst team in the NRL in the last 2 seasons
I agree on your points regarding no money in the cap to spend & the worst roster, but unfortunately I think it would have been hard for Deano to attract the players that TBaz has landed even with the coin to spend.It is a big turnaround, Dean PAY didnt have any money in salary cap.

Although I agree to an extent he deserved a year or two with money to spend, I think the common opinion and belief is that this was just the inevitable decision that was going to happen anyway.It is a big turnaround, Dean PAY didnt have any money in salary cap.

We could debate this every day till the season starts and then some. It's easy to point the finger at fitness, when a team defends most of a game because they have no attack, no strike players, no one to create something from nothing, get precious minutes off while the goal kicker converts multiple tries. Eventually even the fittest players will get fatigued when they aren't scoring points and controlling the pace of the game.What about the fitness, come on mate Pay was hopeless
Pay would have resigned tolman for $1m a season. NO THANKSAlthough I agree to an extent he deserved a year or two with money to spend, I think the common opinion and belief is that this was just the inevitable decision that was going to happen anyway.
Well as mate. Well saidThose players did their best for us when we had no one else. The future is now very exciting
Happy to pay for Quality!Same bro
Agreed mate, and Just to add to that, if Pay were to attract the same signings, it might have been at the expense of an extra $50-$100k each signing. After 5-6 signings that’s adding up quickly. The Baz factor has definitely helped attract some young talent, especially in the halves.I agree on your points regarding no money in the cap to spend & the worst roster, but unfortunately I think it would have been hard for Deano to attract the players that TBaz has landed even with the coin to spend.
I just don't think they would have come over, just my opinion though.
It helped big time that in the Panthers great run last year, just about every single player interviewed quoted just how much TBaz improved their personal game and credited him for going to the next level in attack.Agreed mate, and Just to add to that, if Pay were to attract the same signings, it might have been at the expense of an extra $50-$100k each signing.

I also think winning those last five or six games at the end of 2019 didnt do us any favors and gave the team a false sense of where we at as a team....Yes just look at the players we signed last off season vs this off season.
