Official ROUND 1 | Bulldogs vs Eels | Discussion thread 5:30pm @ CommBank Stadium

[GreenTurd]

70% possession for eels the refs just blowing everything their way.

 

[Rebuilding Phase]

Why did they take so long to take JAC off???

 

[Riggs80]

Disappointed with performance so far as expected big year by dogs . Whilst some positions could have better players . This is by far and away best squad for past 5 years

 

[Scoooby]

Parra didn't give us a sniff at all. I feel we need a bit of luck to go out way

A bit of luck is what we calling it now hahaha, ness more than that Bruv.

 

[BlackDawg]

14 nil. 70% possession. ref caning us as usual. our 10 new troops can't combat the bias and our fuckwit administrators won't call out the cheating ***** for what they are.

 

[SexBomb]

Typical first half.
Nothing has changed.
We've been reffed out of the match in the first half with bullshit calls.
Either they're held and call tackle, or they are not and let us put them on their arse while they try to offload.
They can't have both fall in their favour for fuck's sake!

 

[Psycho Doggie]

Pretty amazing we are only down by 14, Parra 66% of possession, completed 23 of 25, ran nearly 1000 metres, faster PTB, and got more infringements go there way. Ref is nitpicking us, and overlooking what Parra is doing, but this is one of the many refs in the NRL who get influenced by the home crowd and really don't understand the game.

 

[no1bulldog]

Crichton thinking he’s in a nightmare

CC selections of Taffe, Hutch, Kiraz proving as dumb as many thought, leaving Fox on shows he has no idea.
Some of our stats are beyond atrocious eg off loads, tackles in opposition half, errors

 

[bcmf]

Why did they take so long to take JAC off???

like Averillo and braidan burns

 

[piggy]

Complete fucking BS. Ciraldo is a fucking myth. Classic lies on resume type of hire. Zero fucking improvement or sign of it in 8 years. Wow. Im so done.

What do u fukin expect when we have no possession

 

[Glenn L]

How? Better than all this trash we watching, nothings changed, didn’t matter whom we signed, they would all come here and turn to trash like we have seen in recent years. This club is cursed !!!

Maybe if we sign the RIGHT players the club would improve?. NO MIDDLES. NO 7, NO 6 and NO 1. What do people fucking expect?

 

[Cook]

Complete fucking BS. Ciraldo is a fucking myth. Classic lies on resume type of hire. Zero fucking improvement or sign of it in 8 years. Wow. Im so done.

R u kidding yourself bro. That defence was incredible first half. One try off a kick, right up till last one. We have def improved. Last year we be down 30-0. Parra running 90% completions with all the ball. A miracle it was 8-0 wen it was

 

[Blueandwhiteblood1968]

Where is kikau?

He retired last season!!

 

[CrittaMagic69]

We have no strike weapons in the forwards. Kikau, our only one we thought has turned Kowshit...

Because we give him zero service. You can't just pass the ball to him and expect him to trample defenders, he just ain't that type of player.

 

[Bullpit]

It doesn't matter who we sign with Ciraldo at the helm they will turn into plodders

Unfortunately, we have been saying that for our previous for the past few years!!!

 

[dekepefc]

He is the weak link all along in the halves not the number 7. Absolute rubbish player in attack and lazy in defence

Can't blame Burton.. we had no fucken ball. You guys are just haters, and find anything to shit on him

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Taaffe is reserve grade standard, we saw that in the trial vs Sharks. Ciraldo gave him a chance and it hasn't worked.

 

[Jippst]

Can anyone update on kiks & what his injury is?

 

[Snowmann]

Need to put Critter at fullback for this 2nd half. Fox is gone anyways so put bloody Taft there.

 

[Cook]

Hutcho defence has been terrific in he’s edge. Hats off for that
