Des takes players away from training

[jof]

A video session involves all the players having to watch Des' favorite movie

It's starting to sound like Matt Elliot when he tried to save the Panthers by doing weird little things like getting each other to have staring contests before the game.

Lol seriously?

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Wont work... a couple of home truths XD... like fuck... Some players are trying to be pushed out (which i agree with). No meeting is going to fix that...
We need a Ricky Stuart whiteboard scenario.

How can Hasler change the game plan when he doesnt have one?
How can Hasler motivate the team when he has failed to do so in the past?
How can the players support a coach who has not evolved into a modern coach?
How can a team compete by using 1986 tactics?
How can a team be successful when good players dont really want to come here?
Why dont good players want to come here?
I think the answers are pretty obvious.

I would like to see Josh harden up for a start, his pre match news interview stating he fears Mansour was pathetic, how about the Panthers fear Josh Morris and the Bulldogs fear nobody?
Jackson and Klemmer are counting on him as a senior.

Must have been tired from the "tackling" they did lol

"Hasler’s Dogs are a football team so set in their plodding, laborious, Neanderthal ways that they refuse to see the fact that they are the least imaginative team in the NRL."

Yes we have even got journos now using the term plodding, well done kennel

I would really have loved to have been a fly on the wall for this lunch.

SURELY Des has to wake up in regards to our shitty playing style. I know our players are not playing well, but the tight structures they clearly seem to be held to are just making things worse.

Just burn the current play book, go back to basics and on the 4th and 5th let the play makers play what is in front of them. It won't work all of the time, but when it does surely it will give them more confidence and in turn improve them. All of this "percentage play" and "if we have the most possession we will somehow just win" bullshit is killing our club.

Fmd did Hasler give them a cuddle too.

They deserve to be flogged after yesterday not taken to lunch.

We all know Hasler by now, he tries to think the opposite to what people are expecting.

The old "they are expecting free flowing attacking footy this week! Haha, I'll show em!!!"

 

[D.O.W.]

He should read out a couple of Kennel posts to the players to get them fired up ;-)

This club is broken, by definition
Denial will be an automatic response, but it is certainly broken, and almost beyond repair.
The Blue and White colours are currently the only thing in common with the club we grew up loving.
A coup style revolution from the old boys is the only hope the club has to begin a long journey of repair. It's a long shot to think that's ever going to happen.
Life sure ain't perfect
The good die young
Many a perfect situation fails
And a once iconic Rugby League club is stripped down to a bear resemblance of its former self
RIP Mighty Bulldogs
May we always remember you at your strongest. Not all your best was when winning, but was always was when proud of your own special identity....

The BULLDOGS WILL NEVER DIE with supporters like OUR club has. We at the end, kill the cause of the rot and live on.

It's gunna take something that the code has never seen before, nor ever imagined to cut this rot out

 

[Dannyboi88]

Hate to say it but we need to get towled by 50 odd for the change we have heat at the moment but a flogging will make the board act with supporter rage all these board members care about money crowd numbers and memberships and kias money

 

[Novdoggie]

Des cancelled a video session?! WHAAAAAAAT?!!!

Not quite just the footy video session. Instead they watched Dumb and Dumber

 

[Choc]

The players organised the lunch. Des had nothing to do with it. It was held at Panania pub. Most of the playing group stayed there until close.

 

[Bongo]

What does that tell you

According to James Graham on NRL360, this threads heading is Bullshit, Monday is their day off and it is not uncommon that they all from time to time voluntarily as a group go for lunch and have few beers together. It was not a crisis meeting! could not be further from the truth.
I thought that most of the intelligent members on this Forum would take any comments from Dear Matty with a grain of salt.

James Graham also reckons we're still contenders and hoppa just said (on the sterlo show) that we need to fix the little things "like keeping posession" because des shows them on the video session and we'll be contenders


Get your hand fucking off it

What does that tell you

They had a real crack on their day off.
