Wow yes as dogs supporters we are passionate but it's a TRIAL
Get rid of..Tracey...Burton. .Gus..Montoya..the list goes on
We ain't playing for points yet lol
Pretty sure we were same in 2024 trials maybe I'm wrong
No injuries huge plus
Sport is frustrating hard to watch sometimes but when it's good it's UNREAL

Only name I agree with getting rid of is Montoya.

I just hate that CC will never move the problem and everyone around him gets the blame instead of placing the blame on the problem.

I suffer badly at times with Gout.
I smash myself with Gout pills for a bandaid fix knowing full well if I give up the piss
I will no longer suffer.
If your not fair dinkum and own up to your shortcomings then its hard to expect positive changes.

You nailed this. The trial exposed what we already knew about our weakensss. Lack of size and power and Goal kicking. I think Burto switches on V dragons round 1 does more long kicking and our defensive intensity and scramble improves and we will be competitive. Add to this a bigger bench. DSF deserves a crack.

So if one trick pony, long kicking game improves in that department and still stinks at being a highly paid marquee 5/8
his position is safe without further warranted criticism.
 
This what happens when we buy into our own hype.

Even some of the commemtators putting us top 4. Why?

The bleating we are shit, we lost a trial game.

Trial games give you match fitness etc. Try different combos etc

I'm confused, are you a dual fan? Like a qld based bulldogs fan? That also supports broncos? Legit question mate :grinning:
 
I read enough of the game thread to be amused and embarrassed by most of the comments. Honestly would think a bunch of children were chucking tantrums over a grand final defeat.

You’re also correct @halfcast we went 1-1 in the trials last year and where side we finish? Yeah who gaf about trials.

They did it on purpose. To seed the hype into the group. Did the same with warriors and they sucked 2024. It's much harder now to back up the top 8 from last season cause we were underdogs last season. No we ain't. Let's see how they handle its as a group.

I honestly think CC told them let’s just go out there and focus on getting the meters in.
No need to play expansive football.

Wouldn’t be surprised. Sexton clearly had a run at all opportunities mindset. Dunno if he or Ciro created that, but he also did the majority of kicking. I dare say that was intentional.

Agree.

We have never played Finals matches in pre-season comps ever.

But they were disappointing and that can't be denied. Does it matter at this stage. No.

Or you could focus on the positives? A slick scrum move created a great try. Preston with some individual brilliance another and a great put down by Wilson.

The players will be far more intent when it really matters, as always.

I don’t see the Dragons being an easy win. We play like yesterday we get beat. They are nowhere near a spoon team. I’d be very happy to scrape a round 1 win in what will be a very tough game at Kogarah.

They looked good against a very understrength rabbits who were already destined for bottom 4 and then conceded plenty of points against their reserves. Pretty sure the same shit got said about Dargs last season and we know how that turned out.

People don’t look at context at all aye? Btw, people have mentioned it, but clearly Madge was asking his players to show him something. They played with intent like it was a normal game. Probably because it’s the first real game many of the top 17 have played under him. Ya know that context thing again.

Agree that it’s difficult to compare apples with oranges. The Charity Shield has always been taken more seriously than other trials. I’m not suggesting the Dragons are now world beaters. Plenty of worrying signs still there. But some on here expect us to flog them, and that just doesn’t seem like a fair or realistic expectation. They’ll be up for it in rd 1. Round 20 who knows?
 
Connor handed them a couple of tries from schoolboy errors and then the ref handed them another because he thought Walsh was hit too hard. We were off our game yesterday. No big deal. We switch on round 1 and grind the Dragons away with a disciplined defensive display. We know we're better than that. We proved it last season.
