How not to tolerate mediocrity

Is it safe to say we have the worst spine, backs and bench in the comp?

By a country mile.

There are super league teams with a better backline and spine

This is my first strike with the board for not re-signing the Morris twins.

Klemmer was inevitable and the correct decision was made.

Noone in 1st grade or reserve grade at the dogs comes within a bees dick of the morris boys out on the flank.

We have a hooker, who by far is the worst hooker in the game.

Our backline could not walk into any other team in the comp.

We have a 5/8 or 1/2, whatever you want to label him as the kennel changes like the weather, who has been washed up since 2016 and who can no longer keep up with the pace of the game.

Our forward pack is OK but golly gosh our spine and backline is atrocious

Morris brothers didnt want to be here, they were more than happy to leave.

Jmoz nearly signed with sharks a year earlier but couldn't get a release and/or sharks didnt want to pay enough money.

And Bmoz was never ever going to stay at dogs. He only came coz of his brother and he didnt enjoy his time with us unfortunately

Agree with all, except the twins.

Klemmer was the bitch constantly complaining and creating havoc around the club

Recent evidence in the media backs up what sweetfa was saying about the twins

Our forward pack is OK

And yet we were steamrolled, run over like speed humps, low height speed humps at that. The problems started in the forwards, they were totally ineffective in both attack and defence for the first 20 mins and by then the game was gone. We were the ones softened up in the softening up period. That's not how Bulldogs forward packs play, hopefully it was a one game occurrence, if not it's going to be a long season.

The 1st 20 min it was a stalemate. Once the Warriors nabbed those first two tries from those kicks, the heads went down.

Mate there is way too much expectations on our forwards. You need your backs setting the platforms from our own end, getting the sets rolling, just like Maumalo, Fusitua and RTS who lubricated our assholes very well.

Its very unfortunate but our backline and spine are not upto NSW Cup standards, let alone NRL standards.

You have a look at the top teams across the NRL - Storm, Rabbits, Rorters, and there back 5 players are animals at getting there sets rolling.

Blake Green was on fire with the boot on Saturday. When an opposition half puts in a 50-60m kick, do you expect the forwards to sprint back and take the first and second hitups? Our backs got totally monstered, which lead our forwards to getting monstered as no platform was set for them.

No doubt our forwards were bad, but our backs were utter rubbish. Doesnt help having a hooker who has absolutely no idea on how to read the opposition and a halfback who is crippled and cannot kick, let alone run

Maybe, but they were fresh as daisies (realtively) and we had hands on knees, slow to marker, not getting into defensive position etc . As I posted, they softened us up in the softening up period, which is usually were Bulldogs forwards flourish. What happened after that didn't just magically happen, the ground work was set in the first 15-20 minutes. That's the cause, after that was simply the effect. Stop the cause and the effect doesn't happen.
