Is this the real reason why our season has imploded?

[GDR]

I fouund this in daily telecraps sports confidential......

Still at Belmore and there have been all sorts of theories about the team’s form slump.

Yes, a selected number of senior players are mystified that skipper Mick Ennis was not re-signed. But according to Bulldogs insiders, the most pressing issue lies with NSW Origin halves Josh Reynolds and Trent Hodkinson. Coaches are worried about how the pair has responded to winning the series.

There’s understandable mental and physical fatigue, but also a conviction that Reynolds and Hodkinson might still have their heads in the clouds.

Hasler held a private meeting with both players this week, and raised his disappointment over them high filing the crowd prior to kick-off in last Friday’s loss to Penrith.

Those words came on the back of the tremendous spray Hasler dished out to the entire team after fulltime, which insiders described as his most vitriolic since joining the club.

High filing? Assassin whats high filing?

If true ,i like that hasler has directly addressed their poor form

Sounds like a pedos mile high club

 

[Hacky McAxe]

The mistake they made is that they hive fived Penrith fans and after that they just couldn't get rid of the stink.

For me about time Hasler has given it to the team. There was many times last year I demanded it but never happened! About time he has shown some emotions.

hasler should give all the players a nathan brown bitch slap.

 

[bLaQDoG..]

High fiving Penrith fans? Was it as they went into the tunnel? Don't see how that's an issue if it was something like that.

Last week was the first game Hodko and Reynold's have been together since Origin. I think it's a bit unfair to blame that poor performance on being on an Origin high. It's been over a month of footy without them, and distractions the whole way since round 10. Maybe over the next 3-4 weeks will you be able to criticise them for certain.

I do hope the part about Des spraying the team is true though. They need a massive rocket up their ass coming into tonight.

The stupid motherfukers made a mistake lol

 

[The DoggFather]

Or they were caught doing some filing while stoned.

 

[Bakes]

Lets see if they listened to Des, they better fire tonight.

 

[Ahecee]

Reynolds has only been back for one game, so this report seems like a bit of a stretch really

 

[korrmatta1]

Hopefully this wakes is up!!! Camon des break more doors lol

 

[Stoofy]

The media has blown too much smoke up their ass in then past but now it has stopped. Its time to forget all that crap, knuckle down & get back to work.

I believe the boys will do exactly that!

Yep not match fit, should be this week, there a number of factors contributing to lack of urgency and clinical finesse but with our best line up named since SOO and politics being thrashed out we should have no reason to be playing half hearted and should start to dominate.

He might not be match fit but he should be much fitter than before he got suspended. There was talk of some niggling injuries he was carrying.

Time for George Roumanous to fire!

Ben Hunt has copped it in the paper up here this week , he will have to be watched , as long as we hold the ball and hold our edge defence we will be right . Wish I could have met the boys last night to get a feel on where their heads are at . Dogs of war tonight

Well our form slump coincided the return of hodko?
