Official Round 16 - Bulldogs vs Raiders Discussion Thread

[Dannyboi88]

Absolute dog shit team excuse the pun but do these blokes want a cricket score put on them or is this justified moves for barrett to fuck them all off next year

 

[Bulldogsteve]

SG is making it very hard for us to attract players for next year with that rubbish.

 

[CBDoggies]

If this team sticks within 30 points of Canberra I’ll be impressed

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Yeah I dont. Because at first you said 800k lol

800k was what was previously reported, closer to 900k was from more reliable sources later on..and no not Chee-Kam source haha. Yh Britt lol

 

[CrittaMagic69]

You have no clue what the actual figures are. If Bateman was chasing 750k for his next contract good pommy forwards only cost around 550k give or take.



Floporan and Lewis are the untouchables

It's 900k+$2 now

Thompson had enough rest last Sunday playing junk minutes

Avo has had ample time on the sidelines

Shit don’t add up

 

[Howie B]

They told Georgalis he doesnt have a job for next year.

The steaming pile of shit team he has named is his revenge

Maybe next time dont tell your fuckin interim coach he doesnt have a job next year when there are still 6 rounds to go

 

[GTOWN]

Show me one person, just fucking one, that thinks this is the best team we can field this week....

 

[Suave]

Lafai hasn't been great but dropping him for a Holland/Montoya centre combo makes zero sense. Neither does resting Thompson.

You know what I love about sport in general? You absolutely cannot hide. So all the horrible recruitment and retention decisions we've made over the years in relation to our players and coaching staff has been on full display this year. The proof is in the pudding. I said a few weeks ago that it's looking like this season will turn ugly for us and it wouldn't surprise me if we end the last few weeks on the receiving end of some 2008 style floggings.

 

[chisdog]

So, our big mid-season signing at centre has been dropped, Napa's back to flop on players who have already been tackled & Lachlan Lewis is there just to kick the ball anywhere. Seriously, I would rather we used Georgallis or Sherwin at halfback even at their age.

 

[Cook]

Some positives. Everyone’s been calling for Toomaga, and Smith is dropped. I’m happy with those two. At the end of the day, the players who’ve been replaced are going shit so it’s deserved. I’d still like to see Averillo on the bench at least.

 

[dogbone]

SG can go and get f#cked. What it wrong with this bloke? How do you end up with a centre pairing of Holland and Montoya? He is taking the piss now surely. Go now and give the keys to Sherwin for the rest of the season. Unlike Pay he doesn't make many last minute changes so i don't expect the team to be different to the 1-17 listed. The only way we win is if the Raiders dont show up and i mean that literally.

 

[diddly]

Looking for a hint of a positive - maybe they have realised Thompson wont make it in the NRL and are trying to shuffle him back to the ESL asap to save some cap. He has been ordinary but to be dropped for Britt!
In one of the interviews last week SG said they were giving Thompson a bit of a rest by playing him off the bench - starting to bench to reserve to ?
Five games to go plenty of time for rest in a month!

Still not as weak aside as the year Luke Young was playing fullback

 

[Haddaway]

If we're honest we weren't going to win anyway. So at least with Lewis playing we can have a good hearty laugh at some Benny Hill type ball playing LOL

 

[chisdog]

At least he could try Okunbor & Chris Smith, everybody else has been tried & failed dismally.

 

[MoNkEy]

Well, at least we can put the thought that Barrett was having some input into team selection well and truly to bed.

 

[chisdog]

Is it April fools day

Groundhog day on April fools day. We are kinder to animals. End this nightmare now!

 

[GA45]

It just gets worse under this clown. I’ve got no words for that lineup

 

[GDR]

Is this **** for real.... I ain't watching that disaster run out on the field..

 

[Chriso86]

we score 28 points with meany at the back and cogger in, then change it and put hoppa straight back there, surely he would be used to sure up one edge
