Totally agree, Kikau and Critta celebrating after that try with a gloried handshake gang sign was total cringe.The problem is we can't sign anyone for this year, and our juniors are still developing.
What we can fix now though is the coaching. Players needs to be improving not regressing.
I think we should be lining up Michael Maguire for 2025. If we are 1 win for 10 games in a couple of months, punt Ciraldo, let the interim coach run it for the rest of the year and start 2025 with a fresh approach.
Most importantly, no more Penrith imports, we need our own culture not Ciraldo's attempted duplication of Penrith's attack and defence.
There's very little Props wise available next year. Maybe 3? with May the standout. Slim pickings already.I’m sorry but I’m not a fan of Richie but agree. Gus has had ample time to recruit forwards. They wouldn’t be stupid enough to think we have a forward pack to compete with any grade teams. Hell even some nsw cup teams have a bigger forward pack then us. It’s bullshit to think we are so light up front and signed players we actually really didn’t need. Depth players fair enough but most of these utilities were promised a starting spot in the side hence why they signed and it shouldn’t have come to that.
We got monstered up the middle and yet to see a genuine halves combo that actually works for years. If Gus doesn’t recruit any big guns for next year then im prepared to fuck him off alone with ciraldo.
The article was a smarmy dig with no journalistic footy integrity whatsoever. Just an opportunity for a dig at Gus and the club.Ritchie should worry about his mate Hasler and how shit his Titans were despite having 2 origin middle forwards in Tino and Mo.
Yeah and in those 3 years we had 1.6 mil tied up in TPJ and Thompson. Signed by Baz before Gus arrived. We had no money for top line middles until this year.We've had 3 years of Gould to find one though.
People probably thinking more that what available funds we did have should have been used for props rather than centres, 2nd row?Yeah and in those 3 years we had 1.6 mil tied up in TPJ and Thompson. Signed by Baz before Gus arrived. We had no money for top line middles until this year.
What doesn’t make sense? That Gus tried to buy AFB, May, Taukieaho, amongst other forwards? Rumour also that he was trying to get Taumalolo. Not good enough forwards for you?It just don’t make any sense. Bulldogs greats and fans can remember when the bullfrog always said when you think go got enough forwards go out and buy 2 more. We have Gus who has been a bulldog forever, why haven’t we done that instead of buying a shit load of backs
No S#!t Sherlock. It was over three decades ago. We might have had some success and (very) good forwards since 1990.Long gone are the days of fearsome Bulldogs middles like Peter Kelly, David Gillespie, Peter Tunks and Geoff Robinson – the Dogs of War.
IMB will be doing well just to get back on the field this year. 2024 almost no chance of top grade I would think. But fingers crossed, maybe.Plus Matavela-Booth coming back from injury soon.
