Can’t run, catch or pass.. fans shouldn’t suffer due this experiment anymore.
Then ask why the assistant persisted with him for this long.Honestly take a moment to reflect on Perhams game today and try not to vomit.
The dropped ball for their third try was pure shit! What was worse is once they got that far in front they found their confidence and started throwing the ball around, before that they were almost as bad as us.Honestly take a moment to reflect on Perhams game today and try not to vomit.
I remember that game. Was also cautiously optimistic. Says a lot, though, that, even in his best performance, there were still excuses that had to be made for some of the things he failed to do on the day. :PRemember in like round 2 when I thought he maybe wasn't going to be shit?
Averillo is only getting 400k or so from the dolphins considering the new salary cap that's nothing massive seems like we didn't even come to the table.The pet project that backfired
What did Averillo do to deserve getting shafted from the FB position for this guy???
No wonder Avo wanted out, absolute joke.
Very underrated, safe as a bank, reliable, know exactly what you will get from him every week. I think he represented NZ at one stage, not the fake all stars game where they hand out a rep jersey because no one is available for selection.How underrated was Sam Perrett ? Best fullback since Barba
He was a very good/solid fullback, exactly what perham is attempting to me except perrett was miles better in every aspect of his game.How underrated was Sam Perrett ? Best fullback since Barba
Was that the cut out ball try where the kennel got a boner for his ball playing skills?Remember in like round 2 when I thought he maybe wasn't going to be shit?
Yes haha, I didn't want him at FB but i was adamant he could make a good centre based on reserve grade efforts.Remember in like round 2 when I thought he maybe wasn't going to be shit?
Gotta put it in terms of average metres per run though to see if it means anything. As one of the bottom clubs, we had less possession most games and so I could imagine we might have had more kick returns than other teams, bumping up his totals each game.This guy copped a lot of heat, probably because of the sweep plays where he'd run out of room and take the tackle or not set up enough plays in attack, I don't think this is the key role for a fullback even though it's evolved into a fullbacks role. Bulldogs should've worked out better how to use him/not use in attack, maybe use him as a decoy runner or just a support runner around the ruck on 1st and 4th for example.
Perham isn't my first choice fullback but for an inexperienced player, he done ok, defused a lot of situations, didn't give away many frustrating errors, etc.
I don't have full stats available but I came across a major key fullback stat I was surprised to see. Kick returns. View attachment 103597View attachment 103598
You obviously didn't watch our games last year if you think perhams only problem was running out of room for sweep plays and that other than that "he did ok"This guy copped a lot of heat, probably because of the sweep plays where he'd run out of room and take the tackle or not set up enough plays in attack, I don't think this is the key role for a fullback even though it's evolved into a fullbacks role.

Yeah true, not enough easily accessible stats. After 19 games patterns emerge, unless each of those 19 matches Bulldogs were bombarded with kicks and that didn't really happen. The load was shared with other backs too, the Wilsons and others.Gotta put it in terms of average metres per run though to see if it means anything.

Indeed. And the answer was/is: Ron Massey Cup.Bulldogs should've worked out better how to use him
