Boo hoo .. you want some tissue ?

What on earth did you expect , a win ? Hahahaha

FMD some people have no perspective .

We have a 15 players off contract and guess how many are being snapped up ? 1 to date

Our top 17 first grade squad was bottom of the table as it was let alone 10 players missing from it . How on earth did you expect a performance when the most experienced player in our backline was Flanagan ..

For all those crying to play topine in the second row , there you go , absolute dogshit

Simple fact that a lot of these young players don’t cut it or have the experience.

Let me save you pain , you won’t see us being a top 8 for another 2-3 yrs

Stock up on those tissues
100% spot on. I don’t understand why the Barrett haters can’t see it like this too. Many refer to the Flanagan signing etc, what about extending Hoppa, Jackson, DWZ contract, signing Napa, Stimson, Britt, Kotoa, JMK, Meaney etc. And we finally have a coach that is letting go of 99% of the dead wood and most here want him gone. Makes no sense to me.

Whilst it doesn’t show on the scoreboard we are certainly in a better position than many other teams. Barrett gambled on signings last year with slim pickings to use under our cap and lost. I’ll judge him next year, I still have faith he will turn us around. I’m not counting his signings last year, Burton and JAC is heading us in the right direction and I’m eager to hear who we announce next.

The marketing muppet that works for the dogs and runs the official NRL Bulldogs Instagram page had the audacity to put the caption tough day on the paddock or some shit like that.

Our recruitment and our development capacity is monumentally deficient. This is our problem and unfortunately we will have to wait approx 3 years to have a player decent enough to be NRL standard. The short term priority is to acquire key marquis players to fill key roles. It is now a competition for the talent that is out there. Interesting times ahead. Watch this space, July and August will be a whirlwind of p[layer trransfers.

Agree 100%. The dickheads in head office have lost the plot. I read an article last week about the NRL thinking about changing the kick off rule because of the blow out scores. You muppets. Everyone knows why scores are blowing out.

Go Swannies.
I followed the a league closely this year go mariners

There's no excuses being made and you can question Baz all you want but did anyone actually think we weren't going to lose by 40 plus today?

Thats the problem we did but we got done by 60 plus not 40.
So yes I'm going to question Barrett's inability to at least install some fight in the players.
Even Pay could do that.

Barrett's a quitter and the players are taking his lead.

No one was expecting Barrett to win the comp with this squad.. but ffs every single player in the squad looks worse this year than last...

Barrett owns a prominent portion of our poor season.. including the 4 stooges he recruited this year..

To many b.s excuses for Barrett..
