News Pi**es me off’: Furious Dogs coach hints big changes after ‘terrible’ Eels loss

[pillow]

Our first grade side would get belted by our nsw cup side

Flanagan is a really good 9. KO is not a 9. Flanagan or Brown are the options.

Not saying he isnt a bad 9, always knew he had a good footy a brain and a very good pass but lets move on.

I actually said our B side would win the comp before a ball was kicked.. IN saying that there are times where the reserves embarrass the A team in opposing sessions at training.

 

[PoundHounds]

Pele killed it in Reggies. Massive PCM. Also put Blake or Joash at the back and we're a different team

 

[GoTheDoggies]

He should just pull a Tim Sheens in the press conference at this point "we might beat the bye"

 

[bradtalo]

Blah blah blah. He threatened it weeks ago and did f..king nothing. He better mean it this time. During the presser Burton admitted his poor defence was simply attitude. Time to wake some c..ts up.

 

[Taylforth]

Please no.. we are almost done with the Flange.. dont bring him back. If anything play KO or Brown at dummy half please.

Nu Brown as Mahoney back up off the bench please. Not Flanno, who may catch the eye of another club with his prominent NSW cup efforts. Good luck to Flanno elsewhere

The Bulldogs’ flimsy defence against the Eels “pi**ed off” coach Cameron Ciraldo so much that he’s hinted some big changes to the side.

The Dogs missed a whopping 54 tackles in the 34-12 loss. The coach was disappointed to say the least — and put the blowtorch on his more experienced players.

“Defensively we were terrible,” Ciraldo said.

“The 54 missed tackles shows that. A lot of lack of effort off the ball, no togetherness in our defence and just some really poor tackling which pi**es me off the most.”

“Defensively we were terrible,” Ciraldo said.

“The 54 missed tackles shows that. A lot of lack of effort off the ball, no togetherness in our defence and just some really poor tackling which pi**es me off the most.”

“I thought he started all right,” he said.

“I said to them if you’re going to make a mistake defensively tonight make it going hard and he went hard twice. He got the detail wrong but there no one inside on to help save his arse and that’s what good teams do.

“We made seven linebreaks tonight to six, they scrambled way better than we did — that’s not the team we want to be.

“We want to build this club on defence and to have that many points put on you and miss 54 tackles is not what we’re going to be about.”

Ciraldo has made several tweaks to his 17 this season and indicated more could be coming — especially after the club’s New South Wales Cup side smashed the Eels 64-12.

“We’ve got a system in place... Everyone’s been given a chance to show they can do this system but at the moment if they can’t, we’re going to have to find people that can,” he said.

“Our NSW Cup side won convincingly, they scored 64 points but it’s their defence that’s impressed me the most. Some of those guys are really putting their hand up to play NRL.

“I thought our attack looked more dangerous at times so we are getting the combinations right there in attack but defensively it’s not where it needs to be and I need to find the people that can get it to where it needs to be.”

One player that is putting their hand up is halfback-turned-hooker Kyle Flanagan, who scored four tries and set up another in the reserve grade win.

Flanagan has shifted to No.9 ever since he was dropped in Round 9 and has looked very comfortable in the new role.

“He’s training really well, he’s really bought into the new position,” Ciraldo said.

“He’s probably in an unlucky position at the moment where he’s behind our captain but he’s doing everything possible to force his way into the team... maybe at some stage that might mean a bench spot moving forward.”

The captain is one of our biggest problems, you flop… lol. You talk of the wrong attitude in d, well standards start with the captain…and he is one of our worst offenders in d. Make an example of him. Ffs.

 

[Flanagun]

Mahoney's defense is terrible in the second half of games.

Too much time playing dungeons and dragons and eating Doritos and not enough time in the gym for Lord Elvar.

 

[alchemist]

I am not sure that I have ever seen a more ill disciplined footballer in the NRL than TPJ... Literally screaming at the TV 3-4 times a game: "WHAT THE F*+% WAS THAT?!"

 

[Bulldog1966]

A thread about the presser but didn't post the vid..
Get stuffed lol

 

[wendog33]

Blah blah blah. He threatened it weeks ago and did f..king nothing. He better mean it this time. During the presser Burton admitted his poor defence was simply attitude. Time to wake some c..ts up.

There is a very concerning lack of discipline in the team and they appear to have a very laissez-faire attitude to working hard for each other.

 

[Haddaway]

Dude, please don’t defend TPJ. This makes you look silly.

He was right though. Someone from the Inside should be tying in.

 

[Berries]

Agree our NSW cup side played against a team full of younger Jersey Flegg players today .. we can’t get too excited.. only Brown and Flanagan showed NRL qualities.

Yeah this hard on for the win today in NSW cup it really means nothing. Anyone could have scored there today

 

[repolski]

You cannot be taken seriously in the nrl if your halves have training wheels on. And burton as 7 is the hill that ciraldo is prepared to die on.

 

[cyborg66]

hopefully TPJ will be in nsw cup this week!!! laziest forward in the game!!

 

[LordSidious66]

Then do something about it if our players' performances are pissing you off. You're the coach, for goodness sake. You're not there mate.

 

[Mr Shhh]

Too inconsistent
Too many brain farts
Lazy attitude

We were desperate when Barrett signed him. He rolled the dice and we lost unfortunately. We’re stuck with this lump for another year.

He’ll be selected again this week.

 

[TwinTurbo]

Plenty of players put their hand up in the NSW Cup team yesterday, they were outstanding. I'll be very surprised if a number of them don't get promoted this week. My guesses, Pele, can't play a lot of minutes but makes an impact when he's on. Flanagan, absolutely killed it, and Burns was outstanding in attack and defence. Brown was good too, didn't play a lot of minutes but was effective and maybe Wilson who had a good audition at fullback.


Always a Bulldog

I love Gus but TPJ is on him and he needs to fix it.
