Opinion How deflating seriously?

Sucking is contagious at our club. Poor Mahoney and Kikau will be Bulldogs'd this year

Bulldogs never quit, it's even harder to coach against sabotage, this shouldn't be what watching NRL is. These guys can be used. It's not over, the timing and confidence is down

 

[Chris Harding]

rough day. Be thankful you didn’t have to watch it. Whole game can be summed up by Manlys last try beautifully set up by Burton

A lazy pass- with intercept written all over it.

I'm mostly disappointed that we beat ourselves today rather than Manly playing better than us. Burton has to cop most of the blame for today's loss. He put the team under a lot of pressure with his kicking game.

Why it is down is the problem.
We know it's down. It's been down for nearly a decade.

Flanagan gave Manly the leg up.

Deep down we all knew we going to have out 7th shit year in a row.

Just didn't know we would suck this much against a shit manly.

Your second line says it all.

Manly are indeed shit and what today proves is that we are well below the level of shit - 25 points below it to be precise. Or to put it another way, we would have to improve massively just to be shit.

Most concerning is our middle rotation is absolutely cooked and I don’t think there’s an answer for it this year

Brown playing lock for 50 minutes and running for 51 metres is not going to win us a single game

Tanner was out of his depth, King RFM ok. Sutton underwhelming (not that I expected much)

When Panthers rebuilt how long did it take to turn around? Patience is really going to test our faith as fans of this club

 

[RookieDog]

16 errors 9 penalties 3 ruck infringement 30 missed tackles. We only completed 23 sets from 38 wtf were we doing all off season.

The team and coach talked the talk off season.

 

[Moedogg]

Flanagan gave Manly the leg up.

Because of the push?

 

[RookieDog]

I'm not fucking interested. There is no fucking point to any of this.

Feels like Groundhog Day

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Deep down we all knew we were losing... Happy for Ciraldo to be coach, but we relying to much on being Panther instead of finding our own style. Will take beyond 2024 to be fixed imo

Connectivity should have been done with our 1,6,7,9 and 13.
All this face painting and buying into one’s culture doesn’t make a football team.
Simple rocket science.
Play with flair you’ll create more chances.
Play with skill and try stuff .
Try create chances.
Burton was so bad today I really hope he doesn’t have anymore more of these and has got it outta his system.
Flange out did Burton.

 

[RookieDog]

It’s so frustrating how accurate this is!

I atleast have some hope, but it turns into disappointment when none of our boys can fucking hold a ball, attack, play the ball or kick a ball.

They will take time to gel. Say about another 10 years.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

We're bottom of the comp.
Nowhere to go.
But we know this place, and we are comfortable being under achievers and losers.

Storm in Melbourne next week - another 20+ loss.

It's what the Dogs are, and nothing is going to change by the looks of it.

Jonah Pezet will likely come into Storm halves and look better than Burton.

We're are in our 7th year of the "rebuild" my bro.

Fuck patience, lame excuse.

 

[John Matrix]

I was on the hype train and just checked my opal pass and it’s a one way ticket to disappointment.

 

[Yanni Gogolak]

I honestly feel we got worse over the summer compared to last year in all honesty

Yep.... agree

What is this flair you speak of?

Today we looked like the same bat shit boring team we were under Barrett at the start of last year.

All this BS about defence and so on well we let in 31 points and our attack was also complete shit. Try by Mahony a lucky deflection off the post and just got it down by a fingernail.

Summary:

1. Defence was shit
2. Attack was shit
