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

[Geoff Chambers]

Knock back Bennett TWICE for shit assistants.

What fkn drug causes you to say no to Wayne twice when he wanted to come here, pre and post des era?

Gould only wants someone he can control. Flanno would have wanted to run the show which sure as shit he's doing at Dragons.
That's not Gould's MO

 

[Geoff Chambers]

or TWO consecutive assistants even!

Allot of faithful here are in denial he was even an assistant. It was said repeatably when we was recruited allot of people believed that he was Ivan's boss at Panthers in all but name.

 

[Matthew G]

Weirdos deleting my thread after the game because they dont want to hear the truth about this side, its a forum, embarrassing

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Great to see the coach that was begging Gus for a chance at the Dogs totally transform St Merge.

They've played no one of any note yet.

Parra were a real test with gun halves and pack.

 

[Dogmonster]

I was beating the Flanno Flanno drum for Shane, it was in front of Gus's nose yet he couldn't see it. Yes our juniors are doing great mainly from learning how to pilfer from other districts and call them our own. You can't beat Penrith doing a Penrith.

 

[Dogzof95]

All proposed changes will mean sweet FA, unless we can develop attacking mindset. Today was a hard day to judge, considering possession. But along with the trials nothing seems to have changed. No offloads, no plays amongst the forwards & only set plays in the backline. Not going to put any NRL team under fatigur if you are relying of 4-5 single hit ups every set.

This!!! I thought we were going to see a different style of footy one that suits the team we have, getting the ball out wide especially to the loaded superstar side! It did not make any sense to me with the style we played today, absolutely disgraceful, I don’t care if we had lost playing a style of football suited to our team, but the shit we dished up tonight was absolutely disgraceful!!! Coach should be under the pump for our performance!

Agreed.

Comparing the titans to Parra is ridiculous.

But it does highlight what a good halfback can do for a team.

 

[Dyldog]

Judge them in a few weeks, guys. We should've lost by 60, lots of heart. Discipline and mistakes on repeat, clean it up once and for all.

Agree.

 

[Cook]

Flanagan inherites a squad of misfits as well as picking up some scraps (Flanagan Jr, RFM, Eisenhuth) and has them firing…. Yet Ciraldo has been given everything he’s asked for (entire new top 30) & we still looked clueless n f#cked!

They are playing titans minus Fifita and Foran. Yes they are well on top, yet not a strong side surely to be up against. Plus no Campbell

 

[maroondog72]

I dont care.. the fans will leave if it continues

Yeah only fans like you champ I’ll be here until we’re winning again

 

[maroondog72]

And Dragons are still getting the spoon are they, doesn't look that way. Gus Ciro WTF.

Didn’t you just say we should never have let Hasler go??

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Agreed.

I can't get my head around no one giving Parra respect. It sucks losing to them but they made the GF in 2022. They had a blip in 2023 due to injuries and suspensions. They went toe to toe with Panthers and Storm for 3 seasons prior to their GF appearance. They were Panther bogey team during regular season and beat the Storm home and away.

Same drugs the last crop of coaches have been taking, the NFI drug!

 

[chemdog]

well at least we aren't last now lol

Parra and respect should NEVER be used in the same sentence ever again

Minus Fifita, Foran and Campbell

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Minus Fifita, Foran and Campbell

Losing those 3 shouldn't turn defense to shit. Titans were garbage in D.

Fkn liar..."I didn't know it was that bad", **** he couldn't lift his fucking arm you blind lying ****.

 

[WillieMasonFan]

Titans on bottom of table (-24), Dogs (-18) 2nd last, but Titans get 2 points for the bye next week so enjoy not being last for a week. As Dan Ginnane said when they put the camera on Des Hasler "Say hello to darkness my old friend". Can't see CC being in the job in 2025, but who the fuck takes his place, I have no idea?

 

[DoggiesHOOHAA]

Great to see the coach that was begging Gus for a chance at the Dogs totally transform St Merge.

really lol? Dragons verse the titans and they are 'transformed'.

Some of your best Kennel.
