Only a week before being dropped, fullback Matt Dufty record three try assists in his side’s loss to the Dragons.
Then in Round 13, the Bulldogs went out and struggled in attack, with Matt Burton and Josh Addo-Carr providing the only spark, combining for all three four-pointers.
Speaking in the post-match press conference, coach Mick Potter suggested his side will remain next week, confusing Fox League’s panel of experts who slammed the Dogs “pedestrian” attack.
“Interestingly there when he (Mick Potter) was talking about Jake Averillo and his overall performance, he said he saw signs of life and he is going to get better the longer he spends in that position,” Fox League’s Hannah Hollis said.
“Mick Potter also said the team tonight did a good job, that tells me he is not looking to bring Matt Dufty back into the side.”
“Going by what we just heard you’d say yes, I thought Dufty last week created, he got three try assists for the Bulldogs which is where they struggle,” Corey Parker said.
“I mean you talk about giving the Panthers way too many opportunities, they completed at 90 per cent, 38 from 42 so that is pretty good right.
“You take Matt Burton out of that football side, their attack is rubbish, it is pre-lined, one dimensional, it is pedestrian-like, you can see what’s coming before it even gets there.
“Between Burton, Marshall-King and Addo-Carr I don’t know where they go, I don’t know, they try hard but is the same old stuff they keep talking about, it is a cut and paste every single week.
Fox League expert Corey Parker explained he feels bad for captain Josh Jackson.
The veteran lock puts in week-in week-out and plays with his heart on his sleeve, but Parker believes the same can’t be said for the rest of the Bulldogs.
Rugby league legend Benji Marshall also explained it looked like the Canterbury side had forgotten how to win in the NRL.
“I feel sorry for Josh Jackson, he has to front up every week and pretty much repeat the same chorus about what has happened and what has unfolded, you know they just don’t learn,” Parker said.
“They don’t know how to win,” Benji Marshall said.
“They won three games last year, two games this year, they are getting used to losing... I actually feel sorry for them, for the players who have been there for a few years and have gotten used to losing.”
“All we talk about is the same rubbish about what the Bulldogs do,” Parker said.
“I have no doubt there is individuals in that side driving to the game on the way to Penrith stadium thinking, oh here we go again another loss.
“You are talking about giving up, I think they have.
“Josh Jackson, he must drive home at night... he gives his absolute all every week, but he must drive home and just go what am I doing, why are we doing this, how can we fix this?”
