TBC

CONFIRMED that our average attack is hindering our good defense !
But it remains to be seen if changes are to be made or will CC persist with the halfback and fullback ?
Importantly, if those changes are made would they work ?
I believe it's time to make the BRAVE decisions !!!

 

[Kaz]

I'm out, this club can suck my cock.

You're not giving them much.

 

[steeliz]

Because we arent thinking.
As soon as Critta passed to Tracey and before he even scored, i was yelling at the TV to forego the goal kick.

Either way, you need a try to either win or send the game to golden point. You cant afford to lose seconds on the clock.

But our team (and mostly Burton) are not smart. In fact i reckon Critta may have said to forgo the kick, but Burton may have overuled him.

This team just doesn't think. They habe no match awareness. No IQ.

If DCE comes onto the market, offer him 1.5M for 2 years. We need someone clutch with brains

What has any of that got to do with Mitchell dropping a hip on a player already into touch.

I am not arguing that we should have won.

 

[Nate DAWG]

What do we gain from it besides the NRL & refs helping Souths get another win?

sa’o uce and that Sutton **** has plenty of games to ref and we dont need his bias shit aganst us

 

[Roll the Bones]

Since when can FBs drop a hip into a player that has already gone into touch?

Different rules for some FBs apparently. He was a grub all game, and got away with everything as usual.

 

[Marki]

he thought the clock was running down and did a wish version attempt without the T

Hes a bigger fucking moron if he thought the clock was running down....

All the more reason to forgo the kick.
Moron.

 

[maroondog72]

True, but just not good enough

We knew going into this year we where light in the middle that hasn’t changed we also knew we where going to struggle with n the halves and that hasn’t changed either. But we have improved on last year so I’ll just roll with whatever happens next.

 

[wendog33]

Taafe has potential. He proved today, you can work with him. Has real speed and creativity. The others u mentioned annoyed me today

Reckon we've seen pretty much Taafe's ceiling at F/B. Too light and not elusive or robust enough for present day footy and especially our generally light forwards team.

He has more potential as our 7, what with the huge snail we presently have at 7 and CC's apparent lack of faith in Sexton.

Ciro must adapt this roster to help out the tremendous tryers we have who are busting their gut.

 

[Wearnze]

Our defence has definitely improved.
Both attack and defence were terrible last year.
unfortunately our attack is still non existent

 

[Nate DAWG]

C'mon bro - copped a hiding from everyone who wanted to be teabagged by Analsley and everyone was warned - I'm taking tickets.

So its now time to collect them. Didn't take long did it

Fkn lol fck your tickets

 

[AlzzBulldog]

Knight with a massive 2 runs.... what happened with him

 

[Glenn L]

Bitch and whinge all you want about the reffing, blah, blah, blah .... it was the Bulldogs inept excuse for attach inside the Souths 20 that cost the game. Might be a bit controversial, but I know that some clubs employ a dedicated attack coach under their head coach. I think it might be time the Dogs considered doing this. If there is no money available under the football department soft cap, get rid of one or two of those no name hangers on we see in the box and appoint a dedicated attack coach. Surely this is worth considering, Gus?

I thought Jason Taylor was the attack coach?

The dumb part was that we were caught in two minds. Either skip the conversion or take it properly and go for the two point field goal.. in any case I think we should have taken the 2 earlier when morrin was in the bin... and Tracey touching the ball on short kick out was a brain explosion.. so yeah we did that to ourselves.

 

[sgodllubsti]

the main thing i got from today's game was just how much influence sutton has on any game the dogs play, and how at crucial times the rabbits get gifted a get-out-of-trouble call, be it against us for a simple infringement, or the rabbits get let off some kind of foul play

 

[Trinfly]

Would be an Easter miracle

I think he does the pissed look to appease fans like im shitty dont get in my way,

 

[GoTheDoggies]

The most frustrating part of that game was the last 15 mins when we needed a try. Our attack did not stand up with 3 consecutive sets.

 

[Cook]

Could be well worth a shot. He’s frontline defence would scare me though. As for players busting there gut. There paid to bust there gut, so I expect no less. Souffs busted there guts more today, amount of ball we had on there line.

 

[King Gus]

Hutch is not a half and he’s slower then the titanic

His a hog

 

[Kelpie03]

True, but just not good enough

Hi bro, only saw 2nd half, didnt see if knight played

 

[Marki]

Coach clearly knows they are lacking the execution at the end of sets and we need better halves but he keeps picking g burton there. He must be his secret son or something. Should be throwing Tracy fullback, kiraz wing burton centre hutch 5/8 and taafe halfback.

The answer is Hutch at 5/8th and Sexton at halfback with Taaffe at FB and Burton at centre.

This needs 6 weeks so we can win 4 games and everyone agrees its the way forward.
